Summary
The 4th Bootcamp #Pascualchallenge: Social Fictions and Role-Playing Games allowed students to apply theoretical knowledge in a hands-on, challenge-based environment. By designing a role-playing game based on Colombian mythology, participants bridged academic learning with real-world application, focusing on narrative creation, game mechanics, and design. Collaboration between students and faculty fostered problem-solving and creativity, while a Play Test helped refine ideas. Students developed key skills in game design, narrative structure, and visual storytelling. The Bootcamp’s cross-disciplinary approach led to a successful, culturally rich game, demonstrating the value of immersive, practical learning in game development.
