Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country rich in culture, history, and biodiversity. However, the rapid advancement of globalization has led to a decline in cultural awareness among younger generations. Therefore, an innovative educational medium is needed to engage young learners in exploring Indonesia’s cultural heritage. This study aims to design and develop Nusantara Adventure, an educational game built using Construct 2, with a platformer adventure genre. This game integrates learning and entertainment through mini literacy features and interactions with Book and Guci icons, enabling players to gain insights into Indonesian culture and test their understanding through in-game questions. The development method used is the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC), which consists of six stages: initiation, pre-production, production, testing, beta release, and release. The Waterfall model is applied, including requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The results of this study indicate that Nusantara Adventure is an effective learning tool with interactive gameplay and visually engaging elements, enhancing players’ understanding and appreciation of Indonesian culture. Future improvements may include additional levels and interactive features to further enrich the learning experience.

Abstract

Game development techniques have evolved in this technological era in line with the rapid advancement of technology. Considering the significant influence of technology today, where young children are already familiar with and proficient in operating technological devices such as mobile phones, this phenomenon can be leveraged for more positive purposes. One such approach is introducing Indonesian culture to children through game-based applications. This study presents an Android-based game application that features one of Indonesia's protected animals as the main character—the Komodo, which originates from the province of East Nusa Tenggara. The game development technique used in this study follows the Game Design Document (GDD) framework, which includes Core Loop, Core Mechanics, and Asset Design. This research aims to serve as a positive initiative to increase children's interest in Indonesian culture, ensuring that Indonesia's noble cultural heritage can be effectively conveyed to the younger generation in the digital era. Additionally, this study can serve as a reference for future research, particularly in game development techniques.

Abstract

Introducing Hijaiyah letters is an essential first step in early childhood education. To make learning these letters enjoyable, we developed an interactive game application using the Scratch platform. This application aims to help children recognize and memorize Hijaiyah letters in an engaging way. The development methodology employed is the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC). We built the application by utilizing various features of Scratch, including animations, sounds, and user interactions. Users are invited to play while learning the Hijaiyah letters. After understanding the letters, they enter a game page where they must navigate toward the provided Hijaiyah letters. To avoid repeated appearances of the same letters, we applied the Linear Congruent Method (LCM) algorithm as a randomization technique. The LCM algorithm generates random numbers to shuffle the appearance of Hijaiyah letters in the game. Testing results show that using Scratch to develop this Hijaiyah letter recognition game is effective and can improve children's ability to recognize these letters.

Abstract

DANA is one of the most popular digital wallets in Indonesia. In accordance with the survei results in Lhokseumawe City, it was recorded that the number of DANA users was greater than other digital wallets. Therefore, researchers evaluate the level of satisfaction of DANA application users in the city and identify the factors that influence it using the EUCS method. EUCS is a technique for assessing the comparison between expectations and reality of an information system application to determine the level of user satisfaction with five independent variables, namely content, accuracy, format, ease of use, and timeliness, and the dependent variable is user satisfaction. The population of this research is people who live in Lhokseumawe City, with a sample of 349 respondents collected through questionnaires. From the results of data analysis using SPSS, four variables were found to affect the satisfaction of DANA digital wallet users in Lhokseumawe City, namely the content variable, format, ease of use, and timeliness. However, there is one variable that has no effect, namely the accuracy variable. However, there is one variable that has no effect, namely the accuracy variable. Based on the results of the analysis of the level of user satisfaction, the average number of overall user satisfaction level values on each variable is 3.984 and is included in the satisfied category, so it can be concluded that users are satisfied in using the DANA digital wallet application
