3D ADVENTURE GAME DEVELOPMENT: CHINESE TRADITIONAL TRAIL

Abstract

As younger generations become more detached from their cultural heritage, there is a growing need for innovative solutions to make learning about traditions more engaging and accessible. This study addresses the challenge of preserving and promoting traditional Chinese customs and culture in an increasingly digital and globalized world. The primary objective of this research is to design and implement a digital tool that promotes the popularization of Chinese culture, making it accessible to users in different cultural contexts. By blending entertainment with education, the game aims to overcome the challenges of cultural detachment and create a meaningful connection between users and Chinese heritage. To tackle this issue, this study proposed and developed a 3D adventure game to introduce users to traditional Chinese customs through interactive and immersive gameplay. The game is built using Unity3D for its versatile game development capabilities, while Blender is utilized for scene design. Users can explore these environments, interact with cultural objects, and receive detailed information on customs, activities, and artifacts, fostering a deeper understanding of Chinese traditions. Grounded on feedback from users, the developed 3D Chinese Traditional Trail game enhances realism and engagement, providing an interactive platform that encourages learning through exploration.
