Serious Game, advergame : Définition Qu’est-ce que le Serious Game ? Les Serious Games (ou jeux sérieux) sont des applications développées à partir des technologies avancées du jeu vidéo, faisant appel aux mêmes approches de design et savoir-faire que le jeu classique (3D temps réel, simulation d’objets, d’individus, d’environnements…) mais qui dépassent la seule dimension du divertissement. Elles combinent en effet des ressorts ludiques et technologiques issus du jeu vidéo avec une intention sérieuse de type pédagogique, informative, communicationnelle, marketing, idéologique ou d’entraînement. Le serious game est né aux Etats-Unis, où des entreprises américaines et notamment l’armée ont cherché très tôt à préparer leurs recrues au terrain. Le caractère social d’un serious game, permet également l’utilisation simultanée de plusieurs utilisateurs, ce qui représente l’enjeu majeur dans les années à venir pour le « joueur » comme pour le professionnel qui l’encadre.

FloodSim puts the player in control of flood policy in the UK for three years. Key Messages and Themes Our Approach The floods of 2007 show just how serious flooding can be, and I am glad to see that this project has been developed to enable people to have a greater understanding of the risk of flooding.
