Abstract Summary/Description
The future of education demands innovative tools that make learning engaging, personalized, and impactful. This project introduces a game-based educational platform powered by Unreal Engine, designed to teach topics through immersive visual novels. By merging storytelling with interactive gameplay, the platform transforms complex topics into accessible, engaging experiences, fostering deeper understanding and retention. The visual novel dynamically generates its narrative from structured data inputs, such as CSV files, containing essential topic details, including definitions, examples, and scenarios. These inputs are woven into an interactive story where students make decisions that influence their learning journey, promoting active engagement and critical thinking. Unreal Engine enhances the storytelling with its advanced graphics, realistic environments, and seamless interactions, creating an unforgettable educational experience. Each narrative concludes with a short quiz tailored to the subject matter. This quiz, integrated within the game’s storyline, evaluates the student’s comprehension while reinforcing key concepts through immediate feedback. Additionally, the quiz results provide educators with actionable insights to assess learning outcomes and adapt teaching strategies effectively. Designed for scalability and adaptability, this system can be customized across various disciplines, accommodating diverse educational needs and learning styles. Its modular architecture allows for seamless integration of new topics, making it a versatile tool for educators and learners alike. By blending gamification, storytelling, and cutting-edge technology, this platform reimagines traditional education as an inclusive, interactive, and immersive process. It exemplifies the transformative potential of Unreal Engine to revolutionize education, making learning an enjoyable, engaging, and impactful experience for students worldwide.
