PERANCANGAN MEKANISME PUZZLE INTERAKTIF PADA PERMAINAN “NUSAN JOURNEY” UNTUK MENGENALKAN BUDAYA INDONESIA

Culture-based educational games are an alternative media to introduce and
preserve local culture in a fun way. This research discusses the development of the
game “Nusan Journey” as an interactive learning media of Nusantara culture. The
game was developed using the Agile Game Development method which consists of
three main stages: Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production. In the PreProduction stage, brainstorming for the inspiration of Nusantara culture, concept
maturation, as well as the preparation of Game Design Document (GDD) and
moodboard were conducted. The Production stage includes Sprint Planning, Daily
Huddle Meeting, Development (implementation of puzzle mechanism and minigames), Testing Game & Fixing Issue, Create Checkpoint, Sprint Review, and
Retrospective. This game produces a 3D Puzzle Adventure Platformer game that
contains various interactive puzzle mechanisms such as Sliding Puzzle, Melody
Puzzle, Puzzle Piece, and Lever Puzzle, which are integrated with Indonesian
cultural elements such as traditional musical instruments, traditional houses, and
traditional batik motifs. The results of beta testing show that the integration of
gameplay and cultural elements can provide an educational and fun gaming
experience. This game is expected to be an interesting and relevant educational
media to introduce Indonesia's cultural diversity.
