At EC2025: Entertainment Computing 2025, held from August 25β27, 2025, Fukuchi Lab delivered a total of four presentations: two oral presentations and two demo and poster presentations.
Oral Presentations
JumpLab 2D: A Web-based Educational Tool for Teaching 3C through Parameter Adjustment in 2D Jump Games
Presenters: Keita Yamazaki, Kentaro Fukuchi
We developed JumpLab 2D, a web-based educational tool for beginners in game development to learn parameter adjustment related to video game 3Cs (Character, Camera, Control). Building on the original JumpLab, this tool enables learners to manipulate character behavior in the browser while adjusting parameters. By integrating explanations and exercises related to the parameters on the same page, it addresses self-directed learning difficulties and instructional clarity issues identified in the previous version.
A Study on Imperceptible Control Assistance for Narrow Path Navigation Tasks Using Joystick Input
Presenters: Taichiro Yui, Kentaro Fukuchi
Computer games sometimes introduce control assistance for beginners, but obvious assistance can potentially negatively impact the playing experience. In this study, we developed a method that provides fall prevention assistance only when the stick input direction changes, as an imperceptible assist for players in a task involving navigating across a narrow bridge. Results from user experiments suggest the possibility of contributing to performance improvement without players noticing the assistance.
Poster/Demo Presentations
In addition to the oral presentations, we also held poster and demo sessions related to the above research at EC2025.
Furthermore, at ICEC2025, which took place at the same venue from August 27 to 30, we gave poster and demo presentations as part of the EC2025 international session.
JumpLab 2D: A Web-based Educational Tool for Teaching 3C through Parameter Adjustment in 2D Jump Games
Presenters: Keita Yamazaki, Kentaro Fukuchi
We held a poster and demo presentation on the same theme as the oral presentation, allowing participants to experience the actual system.
Attendees were able to try the web-based system themselves, leading to in-depth discussions about its practical applications.
A Study on Imperceptible Control Assistance for Narrow Path Navigation Tasks Using Joystick Input
Presenters: Taichiro Yui, Kentaro Fukuchi
We held a poster and demo presentation using the same data as the oral presentation, allowing participants to experience the actual system.
Even after explaining the theory behind the assist system, participants found it difficult to determine whether the assist was present or not through direct experience.
