Projeto de jogo digital baseado em técnicas de ilustração

Abstract

The present project aims to study the concepts and methodology for the development of a digital game in a way to apply such studies in the preparation of this game so to differentiate and to transmit to the player experiences and sensations using traditional illustration techniques, besides also managing to develop, even partially, an actual game. For that, the authors have made a research about Game Design, choosing key concepts to make the reader’s understanding easier, being that the description of the entire path serves as reference for the realization and justification of the development of the project’s practical part. Thereby, the entire path was registered and explained by the authors for the construction of this game and the way to apply those concepts about Game Design. The resulting game of this work was focused on traditional illustration techniques, and aimed, by the use of it's mechanics, to differentiate the particulars of the material, causing a positive impact in the resulting visual set of elements of the game (characters, scenarios, objects). The pictures used in the game were made with graphite, ink, watercolor and gouache techniques; moreover the images were scanned, posteriorly digitally treated and inserted in a game composition software, always counting with the application of Game Design’s concepts. The project also briefly approaches other steps not always directly associated with Game Design, like visual identity conception; furthermore, shows the creation of the narrative, the characters' generative process, creation of the scenarios and animations.
