Demo de un videojuego sobre el uso del plátano como ingrediente en la gastronomía ecuatoriana.

Abstract

Ecuador is a country rich in culture, however, abroad it is not recognized as easily as other Latin American cultures. One of the most remarkable aspects of a culture is that of gastronomy, and on the Ecuadorian coast the use of green plantains as the main ingredient in many recipes stands out, although most foreigners do not know its difference with the banana, which is more popular. The main reason for this project is to provide the foreign public with a video game demo that contributes to the knowledge of this ingredient and the recipes where it is used, because video games have a remarkable capacity to provide information in a non-invasive way to the user, and this can be applied to raise awareness about the preparation of food with plantains through various game mechanics. In this way, it is hoped that people can enjoy the game while acquiring knowledge about the gastronomy of the country, specifically about the green plantain and the recipes where it is used.
