We have worked both on 2D and 3D educational games which are inserted into our online courses to make them more interactive for the participants.
2D EDUCATIONAL E-GAMES
We produced over 20 small interactive games for the Learning to Learn and Youth Worker courses.
3D EDUCATIONAL E-GAMES
Based on 3D engines and editing software we produced a few educational 3D games, taking the interactivity on a higher level. A glimpse of what a simple game is you can get seeing this promotional video of the course, with the 3D game situations in the background: https://youtu.be/_HEUlrfFfdU
More complex 3D educational games will be available in the other courses on the platforms thecourses.eu and themobility.eu and on your request. VIDEO GAME
“The Spirit of Europe – Origins” is an example of a free, educational single-player jRPG video game with a philosophical flavour. Embody a fragment of the mythical Europa and travel through history from the ancient times to the Renaissance, through the realm of thoughts and emotions, where spirits fight for supremacy over human consciousness.
