GameDev Quest

Abstract

In any field, there is essential knowledge required to perform a task, and game development is no exception. Understanding the game production cycle is crucial for developers to carry out a successful project with minimal errors. Mastering all stages, from planning to execution and release, is fundamental. Digital games can be a powerful tool for supporting education. Using the Godot Engine, the game GameDev Quest was developed with the goal of presenting players with the stages of the game production cycle. Players experience all phases of the cycle, learning about key aspects of each, as well as the most prominent areas of game development. Through this approach, players not only learn but also interact with characters in the narrative, making the learning process more engaging. Thus, this project is an interactive story-driven game about the stages of game development, featuring puzzle-solving and platforming challenges to achieve the proposed objectives.
