Propuesta metodológica para el desarrollo de videojuegos en 3D con software libre.

Abstract

This research proposed a methodology for video games development, promoting the use of free software, in order to reduce production cost and carry out a god planning in the stages to create video games. Data collection about the hardware available in the country was used to create the methodology, also the quality and potential of the free software used in the different areas was assessed because this involves the creation of videogames, though the implementation of 25010 ISO with a sample of 73 surveys from students in technical areas was evaluated the function of free software. With the results obtained, was proposed a free software methodology (FSM), it is formed by four development stages: conceptualization, planning, development and distribution. A teaser demo in 3D was created to validate the functionality of the methodology, following the stages of the proposed methodology and a result of the development process, then it was subjected to assess with a group of 20 experts knowledgeable in 3D, and gamers in the locality in which it was obtained an average of 4.20 acceptance of 5, on the other hand this assessment methodology was compared with three of the best methodologies in the public domain to measure their level with others, where it is shown that the proposal is at the same level even whit some advantages in some aspects. To sum up, there is evidence of luck of knowledge about the free software, on the other hand it requires hardware with a high performance to develop video games. It is recommended to those involved in the areas make use of software, and deepen their knowledge on the power of free software.
