Abstract
With the spread of computers and smartphones, e-learning plays an important role in learning. By using the advanced ICT like 3D CG, we can provide attractive and interactive teaching materials. Although there are a wide variety of teaching materials, the authors focus on education games (one of the serious games) containing RPG elements on web browsers because RPG games work not only to acquire knowledge but also to raise awareness. In this paper, the authors propose a framework for developing web-based serious games including RPG elements in a 3D environment and developed a serious game which aimed at raising awareness of energy consumption through using the proposed framework. By only changing 3D models to be used in the framework, developers can easily build 3D RPG serious games with basic functions. This paper describes some functions of the proposed framework and how the functions work on the web browser in detail.
