Jogos sérios e temáticas sociais: desenvolvimento e avaliação preliminar de um jogo que aborda o tema machismo e suas reflexões provocadas

Abstract

Serious games offer particular potential to inform people about emerging social issues. For example, they offer interactivity through gameplay, a distinctive feature, which can actively engage the player. In this context, the focus of this study is to detail the design, development and preliminary assessment of the game “The Battle of Ma´Sohora". The game aims to offer an experience that provokes reflections on male chauvinism and is planned to be extended to include other themes relevant.
