Validation of Mgbl Engineering Model Using Group Treatment Experimental Study

ABSTRACT. A mGBL engineering model is proposed intentionally for developing mGBL applications and is outlined in this paper to provide novice developers with an integrated model with which they can approach more systematically the design and development of mGBL. The engineering model combines a game life cycle based on iterative prototyping and learning model, with supporting activities drawn from sources of best practice in mobile game development. This paper describes an experimental study involving the implementation of the proposed model with a group of undergraduate students who are taking Game Application Development course. The results indicate that the proposed model was practical and workable in developing mGBL applications compared to other models.
