Abstract

Indonesia in 2021 has 191 heroes, and this research focuses on the 185th hero, Himayatuddin Muhammad Saidi from Southeast Sulawesi, who was crowned on November 7, 2019. These heroes are not yet widely known by Generation Z with a range of births from 1995-2012; they number around 75 million people in Indonesia due to the lack of media to introduce suitable national heroes based on their preferences. There are game media that introduce Indonesian national heroes from the previous literature, but less research has been done on game platforms following Generation-Z preferences. Through this research, we will be studied Generation Z’s preferences for four-game genres with the theme of Indonesian national heroes whose research process uses the method Player-Centered Design for the planning stage and the ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) method to determine the most preferred type of game with eight categories as variables containing the impression of Entertainment-Education, Boring-Fun, Spend-Use, Ordinary-Interested, Relax-Fight, Mediocre-Nationalism, No Sacrifice-Sacrifice, and Ordinary-Love Motherland. As a result, the most popular games are the Action of Hero genre with an average score (79.94), Strategy (71.25), RPG (67.09), and Adventure sequence (63.87). There are still 190 other national heroes; from this research, it is hoped that it can be a reference for research on hero-themed game designs and further research for usability testing of the Z-generation.
