Full Article:

The development of digital content for education purposes requires specific care. In this context, developing educational digital games is a task that requires professionals from different areas such as: education, computing and graphic design. The care as scientific concepts must be transposed into a digital game is a subject that deserves to be investigated. This work proposes to investigate how Design concepts can contribute to build RPG (Role-Playing Game Playing Game) games for science education.
