ABSTRACT

In this application, the user could learn and gain knowledge about Philippine History in
the time of Revolution. This system was designed to make a game application enjoyable at the
same time, to give value and learn about our Philippine history. The use of this android
application allows the user to explore different places around the country and the heroes in the
times of Philippine Revolution. This system would make the user remind Filipinos struggle for
independence, the heroic experiences that the Filipinos had done just to get independence for the
country. To feel the courage of the heroes that fought and died for Filipinos, also to know how
the civilization began. Learning and to remember what happened in the past while having fun
with games.
The proponents decided to use three-dimensional (3D) animation Role Playing Games
(RPG). In 3D games, the action and defense games are most popular because it is easy to play for
the new player. 3D games give better visualization and it looks very live. It is one of the most
essential parts of the gamer to develop the games that are more interactive and easy to play.
