Abstract
In the last few years, some previous studies have proven that the motivation to learn and effectiveness can be increased through games that teach, and the most recent overview of improved gaming features has made games more well-known. Smartphone games, particularly those on an Android platform, are famous as a time-killer; however, they also boost the number of multitasking individuals can perform. In this situation, combining learning and entertainment with education is a good idea. The researchers developed “The Adventure of Techy Stud2: A 3D IT Essentials Game for Android.”, a 3D adventure game based on the Android platform. This study combines an adventure and an educational game that best suits people who want to play and learn simultaneously. The researchers used a Modified Waterfall Model for software development. The study has undergone game evaluation using the criteria of MEEGA+. Based on the beta test results, the researchers achieved overall application acceptance. As for the recommendations, that should expand the game to other platforms and include a password in account creation to make the account transferrable to another device.
