Rancang Bangun Mobile Game Edukasi Biologi Berbasis Role-Playing Game “Bio Saga”
Mata pelajaran biologi adalah salah satu mata pelajaran wajib kurikulum sekolah. Namun, sebagian besar para siswa SMA masih menganggap biologi sebagai mata pelajaran sulit. Kesulitan dalam mata pelajaran biologi adalah banyaknya istilah – istilah yang harus dihapal yang berhubungan dengan makhluk hidup dan alam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah merancang sebuah media pembelajaran yaitu mobile game edukasi biologi berbasis RPG (Role-Playing Game) untuk membantu para siswa SMA mempelajari biologi sekaligus meningkatkan minat mereka terhadap biologi. Adapun metode yang digunakan oleh penulis untuk merancang game tersebut adalah metode RAD (Rapid Application Development) dimulai dari perencanaan kebutuhan, proses desain, dan implementasi. Penulis akan menggunakan GDD (Game Design Document) dalam proses desain dan Unity dalam proses pengembangan game. Dari hasil ujicoba kepada para siswa SMA dan guru biologi SMA menunjukkan bahwa game Bio Saga membantu para siswa SMA dalam mempelajari biologi dan meningkatkan minat para siswa SMA terhadap biologi. Selain itu, game Bio Saga juga membantu para guru mengajari mata pelajaran biologi kepada siswa SMA.
Kata kunci : Biologi, Role-Playing Game, Rapid Application Development, Game Design Document, Unity, Mobile Game.

Final Assignment
The Design of Mobile Educational Role-Playing Game For Biology “Bio Saga”
Biology subject is one of compulsory subject in school's curriculum. But, many high school students think that biology subject is difficult. The reason is because there are so many terms related to organisms and nature that need to be memorized by the students. The purpose of this research is to design a learning method which is a Mobile Educational Role-Playing Game For Biology to help the students learn biology subject and to increase their interest in biology subject.
The method which is used by the researcher to design the game is RAD (Rapid Application Development) method starts from planning process, design process, and implementation. The researcher will use GDD (Game Design Document) to design the game and Unity to develop the game. The trial results to the high school students and biology teachers show that Bio Saga helps high school students in learning biology subject and increases their interest to biology subject.
Furthermore, Bio Saga also helped teachers teach biology subject to high school students.
Key Words : Biology, Role-Playing Game, Rapid Application Development, Game Design Document, Unity, Mobile Game.
