The act of transforming trails of thoughts and clouds of feelings in rigid lines of words has always enchanted me. Though writing is not my trade, it is one of my favorite activities. I try to write ever so often, generally on things I have learned through my job but sometimes about life in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game Start<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My master degree dissertation was condensed into a game design basics ebook. It is in portuguese and can be downloaded for free by submitting your email here<\/a>. Game Start is under a Creative Commons license so feel free to use it for any fair use situation, including translations. This book proposes a framework to understand and discuss games, indenpendently if they are fun machines or tear jerkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with Game Start release, I decided to start a blog with the same name. The idea is to write short articles about specific topics of game development when I felt like it or when a topic got my attention. It is aimed to the Portuguese speaking game development community and you can check it on Medium<\/a> and Tumblr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pense Pequeno<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pense Pequeno, or Think Small, is a series of texts on how to keep the focus on the game during development. Making games is a very hard, demanding and yet a lot of fun! But is easy to lose what is important when you are in the middle of the creative turmoil. Pense Pequeno is here to help! It is in portuguese and can be downloaded for free by submitting your email here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como entender e fazer Game Design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After teaching Game Design in the undergrad Digital Games degree at PUCPR for more than five years (and for I don’t know how many more in other courses of different durations\u2026), I wrote this book to accompany the subject and serve as reference for students. It presents an introduction to the theme, which are the four components of game design and the relationship between them and some essential concepts for the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game Start<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Eu lancei o Game Start como um e-book gr\u00e1tis em 2016, mas o grosso do texto nele vem da minha disserta\u00e7\u00e3o de mestrado de 2012. Muito do conte\u00fado foi atualizado e novos exemplos foram colocados. Esse livro \u00e9 uma proposta de framework para entender jogos, seja como aparatos de divers\u00e3o ou experi\u00eancias emocionais.

Junto com o lan\u00e7amento do Game Start, eu comecei um blog com o mesmo nome. A id\u00e9ia \u00e9 escrever artigos curtos sobre t\u00f3picos em desenvolvimento de jogos. Uma comunidade bem interessante se formou ao redor dele e n\u00e3o me falta id\u00e9ias de textos com esse pessoal. O Game Start est\u00e1 no Medium<\/a> e no Tumblr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pense Pequeno<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

O Pense Pequeno come\u00e7ou como uma s\u00e9rie de textos no Game Start e acabou virando um conjunto t\u00e3o interessante que eu resolvi formatar em um livro. Fazer jogos \u00e9 dificil e confuso e tamb\u00e9m incr\u00edvel. Mas quando estamos no meio desse furac\u00e3o de criatividade e trabalho, \u00e9 muito f\u00e1cil perder o foco, o motivo pelo qual esse jogo que voc\u00eas est\u00e1 fazendo existe. O Pense Pequeno existe para te ajudar nisso, para colocar sua aten\u00e7\u00e3o onde ela \u00e9 mais necess\u00e1ria em cada momento do desenvolvimento.

Como entender e fazer Game Design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Depois de lecionar a mat\u00e9ria de Game Design no curso de gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Jogos Digitais da PUCPR por mais de cinco anos (e por n\u00e3o sei quantos mais em outros cursos de diferentes dura\u00e7\u00f5es…), eu escrevi esse livro para acompanhar a mat\u00e9ria e servir de refer\u00eancia para os alunos. Ele apresenta uma introdu\u00e7\u00e3o ao tema, quais os quatro componentes do game design e a rela\u00e7\u00e3o entre eles e alguns conceitos essenciais para \u00e1rea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
