Abstract

Games have played an impactful life in our current generation brimming with technological advancement. Not only has it become the main source of entertainment for people to enjoy, but it has also transitioned to becoming a learning experience for others. With our current repetitive standards and methods of teaching and learning in schools, the mind of many students has dulled their creativities as well as developing the extrinsic motivation to study at all. However, the implementation of game learning can be developed into modern-day teaching and be used as a tool for students to grasp their potentials and be motivated to learn level more using games. From the mix mode research conducted, many tertiary students would rather replace their conventional studying methods with a game learning experience. The player will be able to understand, develop listening skills and verbal communication skills towards other people to understand when it is necessary to be assertive in an environment. Moreover, this game will tackle the understanding of real-life decision-making skills that mimic real-life situations for players to adapt to. With that said, JomGear Grind Games aims to help students learn various skills such as creative thinking and interpersonal skills.
