As aventuras de Zoe - Desenvolvimento de um jogo 2D na Unity

Abstract

It is still not known exactly when games emerged, but it is a fact that they have been present in society for thousands of years. They are a reflection of the need for human expression, creating a playful representation of reality. With the emergence of computers, it was possible to take this concept to the extreme. The possibilities have become infinite and fiction is confused with reality. Culture is shaped around games, which are capable of creating new forms of communication, interaction and a sense of community, influencing a large number of people around the world. In this sense, this work explores the world of game design, with the aim of understanding and applying the main concepts in a game, creating its own universe. To this end, extensive research was carried out on the topic, looking for the key pieces for the creation and development of a game that could interest and captivate its players. Using the Double Diamond methodology, it was possible to organize the processes and carry out all the steps clearly, helping to structure the entire game. Finally, all the concepts and materials developed were applied to the Unity Engine game engine, chosen because it is a tool with a friendly interface and easily accessible content. The game, still in the demonstration phase, titled “Zoe's adventures”, was the result obtained. The game presents the entire universe created, demonstrating in a fluid way some gameplay and interactivity mechanics designed in this work.
