Virtual Biotope

I developed this game with my college friends. I used it as a medium for my thesis research, which discusses the implementation of Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment with Behaviour Tree in serious games. 

Virtual Biotope is a casual 3D mobile platform game designed to be easy to learn and play. However, based on survey feedback, some players found bird exploration challenging. Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA) was chosen to provide appropriate difficulty levels for players based on their performance. The study aims to analyze the impact of DDA on the gameplay experience.

The game has two main mechanics that include exploration and capturing photos. Players are required to explore and capture photos of different types of birds. Each photo of a bird captured will unlock a new page in the encyclopedia and also get a checkmark on the task page. Locals can interact with players to give guidance or clues to help with the main task.
