description This article brings together the results obtained through a systematic review of literature, in which both sources and a novel methodology are used to analyze and compare software architectures proposed for the development of video games, in particular, serious games oriented to the formation of technological competencies. A complex and exhaustive analysis of 13 architectural proposals was carried out in light of a systematic review protocol, which integrates categories and criteria that allow them to be analyzed according to the study's objective. Four categories were defined: a- General aspects, b- Architectural aspects, c- Pedagogical aspects, and d- Analysis aspects. The results showed that the architectural proposals had been mostly designed for their use at the higher education/university level. The results also made evident that the architectural proposals were executed as web applications in which their reuse of components is considered significant. They were mainly used to develop video games at a general level. It is concluded that an architectural proposal for the development of serious games as such is not identified. However, based on the results obtained, a checklist has been prepared with the primary considerations that software developers could consider when implementing an architectural design for a serious game. This checklist holds a pedagogical intention to form technological skills which will be relevant and transcendent at a national and international level for video game developers by providing a research baseline.

Se realizó un análisis complejo y/o exhaustivo de 13 propuestas arquitectónicas a la luz de un protocolo de revisión sistemático, el cual integra categorías y criterios que permiten analizarlas en función del objetivo de estudio. Se definieron 4 categorías: a- Aspectos generales, b- Aspectos arquitectónicos, c- Aspectos pedagógicos y d- Aspectos de análisis. Entre los resultados se obtuvo que, en su mayoría, las propuestas arquitectónicas han sido pensadas para uso a nivel de educación superior/universitaria, así como para ser ejecutadas como aplicaciones web (donde se considera de importancia la reutilización de componentes) y, principalmente, con el propósito de ser utilizadas para el desarrollo de videojuegos a nivel general. Se concluye que, no se identifica una propuesta arquitectónica para el desarrollo de juegos serios como tal. Sin embargo, a partir de los resultados obtenidos, se ha elaborado un checklist con las principales consideraciones que podrían tomar en cuenta los desarrolladores de software al implementar un diseño arquitectónico para un juego serio cuya intención pedagógica sea la formación de competencias tecnológicas, el cual resulta de relevancia y trascendencia a nivel nacional e internacional para los desarrolladores de videojuegos al brindar una línea base de investigación.Universidad de Costa Rica2023-05-16info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer reviewedSección arbitradaartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/intersedes/article/view/5401110.15517/isucr.v24i50.54011InterSedes; Vol. 24 No. 50 (2023): Volumen XXIV, Número 50, Julio-Diciembre (2023) ; 360-404InterSedes; Vol. 24 Núm. 50 (2023): Volumen XXIV, Número 50, Julio-Diciembre (2023) ; 360-404InterSedes; v. 24 n. 50 (2023): Volumen XXIV, Número 50, Julio-Diciembre (2023) ; 360-404Intersedes; Vol. 24 N.º 50 (2023): Volumen XXIV, Número 50, Julio-Diciembre (2023) ; 360-4042215-24581409-474610.15517/isucr.v24i50reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/intersedes/article/view/54011/56393https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/intersedes/article/view/54011/56394Derechos de autor 2023 Juan Carlos Sandí Delgado, Patricia Alejandra Bazánhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/cr/acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-06-30T23:09:19Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/54011Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:09:51.523Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
