The creation of a «Serious Game» can take several approaches, ranging from total creativity to the adaptation of an existing game. A game engine calls on a set of software components as diverse as scripting, the graphics engine, artificial intelligence, the physical effects engine, the audio engine and networking, all of which come into play in the design of a Serious Game. The aim of this research is to find out how game components, otherwise known as game assets, interact with each other in the design of a Serious Game to contribute to learner motivation The research aims to understand how the components or assets of a «Serious Game» interact to motivate the learner. A study was carried out with 50 3rd grade students, aged between 14 and 16, who were experiencing difficulties in mathematics. These students, familiar with digital technology, were immersed in a game designed to reinforce their mathematical skills. The aim was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the «serious game» as a pedagogical tool, and to underline the importance of adapted game assets for maximum immersion and interactivity. Following a questionnaire, the analysis showed a moderate correlation between the various game assets, confirming that graphics, sound, mechanics, narrative, interactivity and accessibility are crucial in the design of an educational game.

Abstract: (french)
La création d’un Serious Game peut revêtir plusieurs approches qui vont de la créativité totale à l’adaptation d’un jeu existant. Un moteur de jeu fait appel à un ensemble de composants logiciels aussi divers que le scripting, le moteur graphique, l’intelligence artificielle, le moteur des effets physiques, le moteur audio et le réseautage sont autant d’éléments qui rentrent en compte dans la conception d’un Serious Game. L’objectif de cette recherche est de savoir comment les composants du jeu, autrement appelés actifs du jeu interagissent entre eux dans la conception d’un Serious Game pour contribuer à la motivation de l’apprenant La recherche vise à comprendre comment les composants ou actifs d’un Serious Game interagissent pour motiver l’apprenant. Une étude a été menée auprès de 50 élèves de 3e, âgés de 14 à 16 ans, rencontrant des difficultés en mathématiques. Ces élèves, familiarisés avec le numérique, ont été immergés dans un jeu conçu pour renforcer leurs compétences mathématiques. L’objectif était de démontrer l’efficacité du serious game comme outil pédagogique et de souligner l’importance des actifs de jeu adaptés pour une immersion et une interactivité maximales. Suite à un questionnaire, l’analyse a montré une corrélation modérée entre les différents actifs du jeu, confirmant que graphismes, son, mécanismes, narration, interactivité et accessibilité sont cruciaux dans la conception d’un jeu éducatif.
