Hair Bows: Explorando o Desenvolvimento Indie

Abstract

This work aims primarily to report experiences regarding the development of the game “Hair Bows”, a 2D platformer game set in a surrealistic world that is being developed by only one person, the author of this work. Through the described reports, it is possi ble to learn about the chosen technologies for use, the visual references adopted for art production, the main mechanics of the game, the narrative in which the game world is embedded, and the context in which it was developed, as well as to present a series of decisions made before and after the initial testing phase. From the information presented, it is possible to notice the high complexity involved in producing a playable version of a game, bringing a new perspective on the stages of development of a complete game that are often hidden from the end user.
