- Narrative and Serious Games: Playing the messagePublication . Duarte, Ivo Gabriel Carrilho; Merino, Francisco Alexandre Lopes FigueiredoIn this dissertation we will study the form of developing a videogame aiming to transmit serious messages to the player and how serious games can accomplish this objective. The different narratives that can be used in videogames will also be explored, analyzing which of them are better in transmitting messages. We believe that narratives linked to game design may be very effective to deliver serious messages. The narrative accompanied our evolution in every sense, all our cultural information was transmitted by writing and storytelling. This is how we kept evolving as Humans. With the passing of time the technology evolved too, and new mediums were born, videogames were created, and with them a new group of people appeared, the targets. In this sense the videogames are a good way to communicate serious messages to this specific target. The main goal of this dissertation is the study of different types of narrative and how they can be structured to communicate messages more efficiently. So, by exploring the different types of narratives and the different types of serious games we will then create a proposal for a serious game.
