Abstract(s)
Este projeto de mestrado, intitulado como "A Influência do Design Gráfico nos Jogos
Digitais 2D", investiga o impacto das escolhas das interfaces gráficas na experiência do
jogador, focando-se especificamente na comparação entre a versão a cores e em tons de
cinza. O estudo centra-se no desenvolvimento e análise do jogo "BuzzUp", criado em
duas versões distintas para examinar como diferentes abordagens visuais afetam a
perceção, compreensão e envolvimento do jogador.
A metodologia adotada compreende oito etapas, desde a conceptualização até à análise
dos resultados, incluindo o desenvolvimento de duas versões do jogo e a realização dos
testes com grupos de jogadores. Os resultados revelaram diferenças significativas entre
as versões, com a versão a cores proporcionando uma experiência mais uniforme e uma
compreensão mais clara da narrativa, enquanto a versão em tons de cinza foi percebida
como mais minimalista e sombria.
A análise dos dados recolhidos demonstrou que a presença e a ausência de cores
influenciou vários aspetos da experiência do jogador, incluindo a identificação de
elementos, orientação, imersão e compreensão do jogo. Ambos os grupos dos testes
demonstraram uma preferência geral pela versão a cores, embora com variações na
intensidade dessa preferência.
Este estudo contribui para o campo do design de jogos ao destacar a importância crucial
das escolhas estéticas na experiência do jogador. As descobertas sublinham a
necessidade de considerar cuidadosamente as decisões de design gráfico no processo de
desenvolvimento de jogos digitais, visando otimizar a experiência do jogador e a eficácia
na transmissão da narrativa e objetivos do jogo.
This master's project, titled "The Influence of Graphic Design on 2D Digital Games," investigates the impact of graphical interface choices on the player's experience, focusing specifically on the comparison between color and grayscale versions. The study centers on the development and analysis of the game "BuzzUp," created in two distinct versions to examine how different visual approaches affect the player's perception, understanding, and engagement. The adopted methodology comprises eight stages, from conceptualization to results analysis, including the development of two game versions and conducting tests with groups of players. The results revealed significant differences between the versions, with the color version providing a more uniform experience and a clearer understanding of the narrative, while the grayscale version was perceived as more minimalist and somber. The analysis of the collected data demonstrated that the presence and absence of colors influenced various aspects of the player's experience, including element identification, orientation, immersion, and game comprehension. Both test groups showed a general preference for the color version, although with variations in the intensity of this preference. This study contributes to the field of game design by highlighting the crucial importance of aesthetic choices in the player's experience. The findings underscore the need to carefully consider graphic design decisions in the digital game development process, aiming to optimize the player's experience and the effectiveness in conveying the game's narrative and objectives.
