Guerras de sol & pedra : fantasia, wargame e storytelling, como Quixadá se transformou em Galiedra

Abstract

With the aim of creating a game that involved cultural aspects of Quixadá and the use of tools for storytelling construction, the proposal to create a game called Guerras de Sol & Pedra was put forward. Beginning with the desire to unite the passion for foreign cultures, anime, tabletop RPG, and a background in Digital Design, this project evolved as a way to merge elements of Quixadá's history and culture into a fantastical universe, ultimately seeking to attract more people to the city's cultural context. Following an adapted methodology, the project was developed in four stages: Immersion, Conception, Detailing, and Production. The first stage involved research and information gathering. The second consisted of creating a framework and creative direction. The third phase involved creative writing and the complete description of the world, utilizing the data and proposals created in the previous stages. The final stage was responsible for completion, refining the writing, and producing all visual elements. Thus, this project developed a booklet that compiles the history of the main continent of the game, Galiedra, the description of playable races, representation of important locations on a map, and illustrations of the fictional world. This was done in conjunction with the Guerras de Sol & Pedra: Criação de um wargame acessível para a comunidade jovem quixadaense, elaborated by João Victor Serra Souza, who created and compiled the game's mechanical part in his work, making its gameplay possible. This thereby constructed a board game accessible to the Quixadá public, serving as an introduction to the wargame genre and encouraging creative aspects in game development in the city.
