My new paper describes my ongoing doctoral study on the "Ludonarrative Universe" model for (co)designing ludonarrative systems for Big-G game-based learning, which facilitates learning through gaming and its surrounding activities, such as pre- and post-game discussions. 1/3
Title: Designing Ludonarrative Media for Robust, Scientific, Realizable, and Adaptable Big-G Game-Based Learning: A Model and Research Plan Author: Pratama Wirya Atmaja Affiliation: Faculty of Computer Science, University of Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur, Indonesia Abstract: To meet the demands of “Big-G” GBL for complex issues (e.g., sustainability), the paper identifies four design gaps—conceptual robustness, scientific precision, technical realizability, and practical adaptability—insufficiently addressed by current methods. It proposes a “ludonarrative universe” model: a multi-dimensional system spanning nested media (supersystems), ecological counterparts (competing elements), meta-gaming layers, and experiential layers (world, storytelling, assets/UI) grounded in game-loop theory. The model claims to be comprehensive, systemic, scale-invariant, and modular, enabling early verification and validation (V&V) and agile evolution. A research plan outlines co-designed case studies, a domain-specific language, and automated V&V to test and generalize the model. Keywords: Ludonarrative media, design model, co-design, game-based learning, sustainability

New edited volume alert: "Engineering Educational Games for a Sustainable Society: Play, Learn and Transform," published by Springer. It offers thirteen cross-disciplinary chapters on game-based learning, sustainable game design, and game (co)design for sustainability. (1/3)

According to the dev lead, the project was halted by Nintendo because they "wanted the Game Boy Advance to be used in a standard way and did not like 3D games due to a less than excellent frame rate".
Here is a trailer. To this day I haven't been able to get them to release the demo rom.

Sharoron the unicorn is the mascot for the Tokyo Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Association. The horn on Sharon’s head has the power to gather and send out useful information.

Japan’s human rights mascots are Jin-KEN-Mamoru-kun and Jin-KEN-Ayumi-chan.

Bloody hell, Poland, how did you come up with this vase-like chara? 🤣🤣 Since when has Poland been a top-tier player in the chara/mascot game?? 🤣🤣 #Expo2025Osaka @debraocchi.bsky.social @mondomascots.bsky.social

We need more research like this to support the use of yuru/gotouchi chara (local mascots) in Indonesia 😇😇

Man, Japanese "gotouchi kyara" (local mascots) have such a strong presence on X/Twitter that following them there has kept my "for you" feed almost free of political nonsenses and AGI hype garbage 🤣🤣
