Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to propose a serious game: the Shin-Life Career Game, which allows players to construct various careers. The name of this game is come from the most famous classic game: the Life Career Game developed by Boocock. In the field of career education, various serious games have been developed as a means for students to learn about career planning and development in a practical way. However, in conventional serious games for career education, the diversity of careers constructed by the players is low compared to the reality of today's working society. We propose a new serious game: the Shin-Life Career Game which eliminates the restriction on the number of occupations a player is able to take at the same time. We plan to use this game to explore the possibilities of various lifestyles for people.
