PENGEMBANGAN GAME SIMULASI “KEDAINESIA” BERBASIS GAME BASED LEARNING DENGAN PENDEKATAN AUDIO VISUAL

The declining interest of children in Indonesian traditional food and traditional
clothing has become a challenge in preserving cultural heritage. To address this
issue, a 2D educational simulation game called Kedainesia was developed using
the Game Based Learning and audio-visual approaches with the Game
Development Life Cycle (GDLC) method, consisting of the Initiation, Pre
Production, Production, Testing, and Release stages. The author served as the
Game Designer and Sound Designer, responsible for designing the gameplay,
preparing the Game Design Document (GDD), and creating audio elements
including background music and sound effects. In the game, players manage a
traditional food stall, serve customers, and learn Indonesian culture through the
Guidebook feature. Beta testing involving 30 respondents achieved a score of
91.6%, indicating that Kedainesia falls into the excellent category and is suitable
as a learning medium for introducing Indonesian traditional food and traditional
clothing.
