Abstract

This study presents the game development of a video game simulation that would be able to categorize a user based on their brain types which were determined from their interactions with the minigames. The brain types adapted for this study is from a YouTube content creator’s model - Tora, Kuma and Kitsune, which in turn was inspired by a research journal on Dosha brain types. The original study categorized people according to Vata, Pitta and Kapha, based on their actions and habits. The study involved 30 UPRHS Grade 12 students who were selected for the study with convenience sampling with the purpose of playtesting the video game, to which their data was recorded in a spreadsheet. During gameplay, the system recorded three variables : student’s (1) brain type (2) action count and (3) action order. A set of short evaluation questions were administered to the participants for the evaluation of their experience and the satisfaction of the game. A short Google Form survey was administered to the participating students. The brain types they obtained from the survey served as the basis for comparison between the brain types obtained from the game. The dynamic nature of brain types led to the game model only accurately categorizing 33.3% of the participants in accordance to their result in the short survey. Despite the presence of bugs and overall quality of the game, 83% of the participants were able to find the game satisfying. For future study continuations or implementations, the study recommends that the game contains necessary restrictions in actions, such as an energy system, in order to prevent outliers in the conducted study.
