ABSTRACT

In this capstone Project, the researcher developed a system that provides the students to learn physics through video games. To create and design video games are also good for education in physics experimentation.

The capstone project entitled “Freed Dreamer: 2.5D Educational role-playing game” was conducted at AMA Computer College, Davao Campus. The study utilized interviews and structured questionnaire which was administered to the respondents. The researcher conducted a post-implementation survey to support the study. Data gathered were statistically treated and percentage was obtained. Results show the respondents agreed and were satisfied with the education put on video games.

The researchers concluded that the system is beneficial to the students as it aimed to provide the respondents satisfaction. For future development, the following are based on the students’ recommendation that the researchers conducted development of the system, the system must have the following recommendations that can cater for education for the students.
