Description

This Greek-language textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory, design, and development of serious digital games, games created not just for entertainment, but for learning, training, and social impact. It begins by defining key concepts such as game mechanics, rules, and systems, and distinguishes serious games from traditional digital games. The book then explores various design models, including a synthetic framework that integrates narrative, academic, conventional, and learning dimensions. Later chapters delve into the development of game assets, including conceptual modeling, texture mapping, animation, lighting, and shading. It concludes with an in-depth look at game logic implementation using both visual scripting and high-level programming languages.

Why is this valuable (or not)?

This resource is valuable because it fills a critical gap in Greek-language educational technology literature by focusing on serious games—a growing field in pedagogy, healthcare, and simulation. It combines theoretical rigor with practical guidance, making it suitable for students, educators, and developers interested in creating meaningful interactive experiences. Its open-access license ensures that learners and institutions can freely use and adapt the material, supporting innovation in educational software and game-based learning.
