Echo Shiroi: Desenvolvimento de Concept art para um jogo digital inspirado no folclore japonês

Abstract

This work aims to develop the concept art for the 2D platform game Echo Shiroi, inspired by Japanese folklore and the supernatural creatures known as yōkai. The project involved cultural research on these elements, the creation of characters, environments, interface, and mechanics, as well as the development of an artbook that summarizes the game’s visual identity. The initiative sought to apply design methodologies and tools, transforming cultural references into original and coherent visual solutions aligned with the narrative and player experience. The study highlights the importance of integrating research, aesthetic experimentation, and creative authorship in digital game design.
