Due to remote work, there have been several positive and negative changes to the working environment for developers. Thus, the objective of this work is to identify the adaptations that were made regarding communication for remote work and what remained in use even after the face-to-face return. This work is characterized as an exploratory research through a case study with quantitative and qualitative evaluation using online questionnaires with open and closed questions, as well as semi-structured interviews applied remotely to game developers, so that an analysis of the data is carried out. collected and thus identify the changes that have occurred and which have come to contribute and remain during and after this pandemic period.
