1.0 PROJECT PLAN

Where are you going for holiday? When asked that kind of question, most of
us will answer with famous places such as Bali, Hawaii, Paris, and a plethora of other
famous attractions. Those answers were expected, as people do think of travelling to
famous places first before taking notice of beautiful attractions within reach. That
becomes the reason why Sarawak GO is created, to make Malaysian aware of this state
full of gems, hence piquing their interest to visit it instead of others.

Sarawak GO is a game that introduces you to this amazing state name Sarawak
while on a fun adventure and being resourceful at the same time. The fun element of
the game is that players will be able to build their character attributes while doing mini
games along the journey to explore each division in Sarawak and learn about
Sarawak’s history, culture, food and wonderful places that is a must visit.

This application is not only entertaining as it could spark interest about

Sarawak and pique players curiosity. As a result, the player might be keen to visit
Sarawak in real life which can help to increase international and domestic travel.
Sarawak GO is also beneficial for people who love to move around or missed traveling.
Thus, they can embark on an adventure to Sarawak through immersive real-life
simulations.
 DFT6014 – Integrated Project

i. Learning about Sarawak’s culture and history by using mediums such as books
will make learning sessions bland, so a more creative way to teach it is needed but
there is not much material to do it effectively.
ii. Sarawak is full of amazing tourist’s attractions but unfortunately these are not
stressed properly and are lacking in promotion.
iii. E-tourism sector need addition for a fun and interactive medium such as video
games and virtual tour to flourish more.

i. To develop a fun learning game for all-ages audiences to learn about Sarawak
history, food, and culture.
ii. To display information about amazing places to visit and explore the hidden gems
in Sarawak.
iii. To promote E-tourism as aligned with Sarawak State Government Digital
Economy initiative.

The scope of this project is to develop an application to introduce informational

facts about history, culture, food and tourist attractions in Sarawak through video
games.

This project will be specifically developed for Android smartphones users or

iOS in the future update. The design of 2D sprites character and assets will be using
Autodesk Sketchbook and Adobe Illustrator. The 3D assets will be designed in
Blender. For editing and enhancing the photos, Adobe Photoshop will be used. Lastly,
the application will be developed using Unity game engine and C# programming
language will be used to develop the business logic which in-built in the game engine.

System scope will explain the application requirement and functionality while
the user scope is describing people that can use this application.
DFT6014 – Integrated Project

1.4.1 System Scope

The table below will describe the system scope:

Table 1.1: System scope

In Scope
Provide facts about Sarawak ‘s history,
culture and food
Provide information about places to visit
in Sarawak
Provide the game manual
Provide an in-game stat
Android mobile application
An offline application
Android 7.0 (Android Nougat) or higher
Out Scope
Do not provide other than facts about
Sarawak
Do not provide information about other
places to visit other than Sarawak
Do not provide the game manual
Does not provide an in-game stat
iOS mobile application in the future
updates
Not an online application
Below Android 7.0 (Android Nougat) are
not supported

Based on the table above, the application will provide facts about Sarawak’s
history, culture and other facts are not provided. The application also does not provide
information about other places to visit besides Sarawak. The game manual will be
provided in the application for the user to understand the game mechanics. It also
provides the user to save the game using an in-game stat. The application can only be
used on the Android smartphones or iOS smartphones in future updates. It is an offline
application and cannot be played online. The application only available on Android
7.0 (Android Nougat) or higher and below than that are not supported.

1.4.2 User Scope

The table below shows the user scope:

Table 1.2: User scope

In Scope Out Scope
Users aged 13 years old and above Users under 13 years old
People who have access to smartphones People who do not have access to
smartphones
DFT6014 – Integrated Project

As seen on the table above, the game is suited for 13 years old and above that
have access to smartphones. Kids under 13 might not be able to understand the game
mechanics and read complex sentences. In scope for smartphones users, the game
cannot function on other devices for users who do not have access to it.

A literature review is the comprehensive study and interpretation of literature

that addresses a specific topic (Aveyard, 2014, p. 2). We will focus on to analyze the
games that have a tourism theme According to (Murthy & Bhojanna, 2009, p. 94), in
writing the literature review, the purpose is to convey to the reader what knowledge
and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses
are. We will conduct a research to differentiate the similarities and difference from
existing games. In addition, we will carry out a scoping review. (Thrusfield, 2018, p.
402) said a scoping review aims to identify the literature that is available relevant to
the topic. The aim is not to extract the data or assess the risk of bias in the literature
identified, but rather to characterize what is available. Developers will study the
existing games that have applied 2.5D and tourism aspect and will list out their
specification meticulously without any bias.

1.5.1 Introduction of e-Tourism and Its Relation to Our Project

E-tourism is the digitisation of all the processes and value chains in the tourism,
travel, hospitality, and catering industries that enable organisations to maximise their
efficiency and effectiveness (Buhalis 2003). The fast adoption of new mobile
technologies generates a huge impact on travel and will very likely transform the
behavioural patterns of tourism consumption (Wang & Xiang, 2012). From the two
statements, it pointed out that E-tourism is a sector that utilize ICT and internet to
paved way for a more effective, efficient, and modern implementation of the tourism
sector.
From a news article Digitalisation important for Sarawak's tourism industry
(Monday, 12 March 2018), Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg
said the tourism industry must leverage digitalisation to remain competitive in the
global market. This is especially crucial as marketing platforms, customer
personalisation and integrated technology play a main role in an increasingly
connected future.
This project is a contributor towards leveraging digitalisation in tourism as the
objective is to promote e-tourism as aligned with Sarawak Government's Digital
Economy initiatives.
DFT6014 – Integrated Project

Based on a news article State government to invest in digital tourism (Friday,

06 March 2020) Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman
Hamzah said that the state government is also keen in introducing the state’s historical
places, often located in remote areas, and to make them better known to the outside
world.
The statement is in line with this project objective which is to display information
about amazing places to visit and to explore the hidden gems in Sarawak, thus this
project could help government with the mission to promote attractions in remote areas.

1.5.2 2.5D Environment Studies

For this project, research has been done on 2.5D game environments by
learning and taking examples on some developed 2.5D games to better understand the
technology. Whereas in tourism aspect, there is insufficiency existing systems and we
manage to find less than four of them.

Two-and-a-half-dimensional (2.5D) emphasizes the representation of distal

surfaces, not shapes, from the perspective of the viewer. The term 2.5D is often used
to describe the techniques used in video games and animations to simulate 3D scenes
using only 2D elements. The trick lies behind the perspective and shadows of 2D-
animated objects drawn in 2D-space that appears to be 3-D. (Nirlah, 2020)

Demonstration of how to create 2.5D using Unity:

Figure 1.1: Demonstration explaining colliders Nirlah, 2020)

Below is how the demonstration explaining to start creating a 2.5D game

setting from (Nirlah, 2020):
1. Cards – the most important component, these are your 2D art & animations. Layed
out with an X-axis rotation of 45°.
 DFT6014 – Integrated Project

2. Ground – while you may use a flat plane, we like creating a 3D mesh. No need for
complex shapes – the majority of the ground details will come from the texture
painting.
3. Camera – use a static X-axis rotation of 45°. This way, the Cards will appear
perpendicular to the player.

1.5.3 Comparison of Existing System

The following example are the existing system as the references to compare with our
project:

i. AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected

Figure 1.2: 2D character in a 3D world

AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected invites you to a very unusual journey to a

charming and wacky 3D world populated by 2D characters. AWAY is a short light-
hearted story mixing action, silly discussions, rogue-lite elements and smashing a
bunch of cute creatures to overcome every obstacle in your way (AWAY: Journey to
the Unexpected (n. d.)). The player will enjoy a 3 to 5 hours journey gameplay
featuring unique visuals and unravel a funny and light-hearted story. They can recruit
up to 8 quirky characters, each with their own unique abilities. The most interesting
aspect in this game is the developers use a 2D Japanese animation for the storytelling.
 DFT6014 – Integrated Project

ii. Dream Travel Agency

Figure 1.3: One of the mini games in Cheongsapo level

Dream Travel Agency is a time management game where the player will be an
owner of a travel agency. The game wants to give excitement to the players as if they
are on a trip to Busan, Korea. Dream Travel Agency (n. d.) states that, “You'll get to
see Busan (in Korea) from a different point of view while searching for hidden jewels
in Busan.” There is a total 50 Stages and 5 unique locations with 10 levels each that
takes place in Nampo-dong, Taejongdae, Seomyeon, Gwangalli, Haeundae. The
player will enjoy a variety of mini game in each location.

iii. Questo: City Exploration Games & Tours

Figure 1.4: The riddles to solve in Piazza del Popolo

Questo: City Exploration Games & Tours is a guide for visiting cities by going
on tours as games created by local storytellers. Follow clues and solve riddles to
discover popular attractions and hidden gems with fascinating local stories. Each tour
you explore is based on a specific theme, that is inspired by popular movies and books,
historical facts or great legends (Questo: City Exploration Games & Tours (n. d.)). It
is a walking application when you enjoy your vacation but its only available in 18
countries which is United Kingdom, Italy, France and so on but Malaysia is not
included.
 DFT6014 – Integrated Project

iv. Virtual Japan Travel

Figure 1.5: Time estimated to arrive at the location.

Virtual Japan Travel is a simulation game. The player will be a 3D avatar

character that in mission to take a picture all around Japan. You can collect points and
coins that you got from the trip and level up your avatar. You need to choose carefully
which attributes do you want to level up like the coin’s percentage that you will get
from each trip or the travel speed that allows the player to go to the trip faster. The
most appealing part of this application it uses a real-time that is suitable for casual
players who doesn’t want to spend much time on their smartphones.

v. Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town

Figure 1.6: A memo of “Bicycle Notes” collected by the main character

Willy Morgan is a third-person adventure game, set in a fantasy pirate-themed

world with a modern touch. Combining the traditional point-and-click genre gameplay
with a unique cartoon 3D graphics, Willy Morgan has the dreamy atmosphere, the
humor and the freedom to explore typical of timeless classics such as Monkey Island
(Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town (n. d.)). This game is a good example that
introduces 2.5D technology. The world which combines 2D and 3D cartoon graphics.
Even though everything looks 3D but the game mechanism itself is 2D. The most
DFT6014 – Integrated Project

interesting part is the game apply traditional point-and-click adventure style and this
is good for beginners who is new to video games.

1.6.1 Rapid Application Development (RAD)

According to "Rapid Application Development (RAD)," (2017), the

methodology used to build this application is Rapid Application Development (RAD)
since the project must be completed in a short amount of time with quick deliveries.
RAD methodology aims at developing software in a short amount of time and gives
high-quality output as “RAD key objectives are High Speed, High Quality and Low
Cost”. Using this methodology gave developers the advantage for quick modification
of the application.

Figure 1.7: Phase in Rapid Application Development (RAD)

DFT6014 – Integrated Project

The activities in each phase is explained and listed below according to ("Rapid
Application Development (RAD)," 2017):

Phase 1: Analysis and Quick Design

i. Conduct the needs of this application.

ii. Draft preliminary software and hardware
iii. Review software and hardware specification
iv. Define problem statement
v. Define the objective of the project
vi. System and user scope

Conduct needs for this application mean the need to build Sarawak GO. As the
objectives stated to increase domestic travel. Secondly, Malaysia is lacking in games
invented toward promoting the domestic tour and there is a need for this type of game.
Moving on to Draft preliminary software and hardware. For this part, it will
specify hardware and software used to build the application ranging from its engine,
graphic design and so on. This part is important as using and reviewing the correct
hardware and software will bring project success. Unity, Blender and Autodesk
Sketchbook are some of the chosen one.
Autodesk SketchBook is a free software that will be used to design the 2D
sprite-based character. While Unity is the game engine that will be generating 2.5D
game platforms and everything in-game settings to items are created using this
software. Blender on the other hand is used to design the 3D assets needed for this
game. For the problem statement, aforementioned before this game strives to educate
people on interesting and unknown facts about Sarawak which could help to revive the
domestic tourism sector. The objective of the game is to beautifully convey Sarawak
as an amazing place to visit in hope to attract international and domestic tourists.
The objectives of the project are to develop an application called Sarawak GO
using tools like Unity. This application will provide an additional learning tool to learn
about the state. Lastly, to create an immersive game so players can imagine and indulge
in what it feels like to visit and explore Sarawak.

Phase 2: Build, Demo, Refine

i. Sketch storyboard of the application
ii. Sketch the application flowchart
iii. Review the application designs.
iv. Coding and designing game
DFT6014 – Integrated Project

For this phase users and developers work together to make modifications
needed to make the application better. Hence, the use of storyboard and flowchart that
will be modified according to needs. After this the final designs in the storyboard will
be reviewed and development can start immediately.
The application interfaces will be designed using a 2.5D technology which
consist of 2D sprite and 3D assets. The game environment is in a 2D setting which will
be made to feel like a 3D. There will be some in-game items that will be in 3D so the
application could be more intuitive. Finally, the Design review will ensure the project
requirement is fulfilled. Also, in this phase is programming and coding. The game is
built using software such as unity while the programming language being used is C#.

Phase 3: Implementation
i. Functionality Testing
ii. Compatibility Testing
iii. Confirms the game is working properly

Functionality testing is to make sure each part of the application is free from
bugs and error to give players the best experience. While compatibility testing is to
make sure the game is playable on its platform, which is on computers and
smartphones.

Phase 4: Testing
i. The game is deployed to users.
ii. Maintenance of the game if needed.
DFT6014 – Integrated Project

Every project needs a project management tools. Project management for IT professionals includes planning, scheduling, monitoring and
controlling, and reporting on information system development (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2011, p. 102). In order to have an organized structure to do
the project, we need to create a work breakdown structure (WBS). A work breakdown structure (WBS) involves breaking a project down into a
series of smaller tasks (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2011, p. 184). Gantt chart is used to organize all the task to be completed in 4 months to finish project.

5.0 MAJOR FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS

Developing this game was a whole new territory for development team as they
never tried developing one before. It was a fun challenge that comes with a few
advantages and disadvantages as shown below.

Advantages

• The game made learning about Sarawak more engaging and fun.
• Team members are required to learn using gaming engines and new software
that bring about new knowledges.
• Team members cooperation along with supervisor advice and effective
guidance enables the project to complete successfully.
• Projects used the suitable development model and it was implemented
seamlessly.
• All members learned a new programming language that is needed for the
projects which is a good skills addition.
• Members gained more interesting knowledge on Sarawak that they never knew
before.

Disadvantages

• Using 2.5D technology made the game less immersive.

• A huge part of the projects needed guidance from online tutorials and youtube
to be completed.
• Teams members using the same templates proved their lack of creativity.
• The development model chosen required constant feedbacks with plenty of
testing and debugging.
• The game might not appeal much to travelers as they are active and love the
physical thrill of travelling which is what the game cannot give.
• The game chance to be published for IOS, augmented reality and virtual reality
is very low.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

To conclude, Sarawak GO is a 2D time management game with a 3D

environment. This application is not only fun to play for teens and above, it also
educates the players about Sarawak’s history, made them learn more on the culture
and introduce a variety of foods. To add, Sarawak GO will introduce the amazing
places in Sarawak and discover the hidden gems. Initially, the application is developed
to educate the players about Sarawak but since the pandemic outbreak, developers
hope this application can help boost Sarawak tourism sector. Now Sarawak GO is only
available in 2.5D for Android smartphone users, so maybe in the future it will be
available in 3D, Virtual Reality and can be accessed by iOS smartphone users.
The application using 2.5D technology will obviously not be that immersive and
intuitive as 3D games and Virtual Reality games that highlights the application
weakness, but developers hope that will not be a deterrent for players to enjoy it fully.
This shortcoming is because of novice game developers lacking in expertise at
developing their first ever game. Development teams was doing their best to bring out
the best of 2.5D technology to cover it.
Building this application was a fun experience as it came with the perk to
explore more on developing a game, trying out fun software like Unity for the first
time while also learning more on this amazing state, Sarawak. Last but not least, have
fun and go on an adventure with Sarawak GO.
