Pixdemy: A Reward-Infused RPG and Life Simulation Gamification System for Post-Pandemic Social Interaction and Learning

"Pixdemy" is a blend of life simulation and role-playing game elements, manifested as a social game targeting university students. This research paper delves into the potency of gamification principles in fostering student engagement and enhancing learning motivation. Pixdemy intricately interweaves real-life and virtual tasks and rewards, leading to an enriched learning experience that motivates students toward academic growth and self-development. This paper posits Pixdemy as an educational catalyst that prompts active student participation, fosters learning enthusiasm, and amplifies the sense of belonging through the simulacrum of real-world school life. Our exploration will yield insights into Pixdemy's effect on student learning behaviour and the broader implications of gamified education.
