A Importância da Ilustração/ Artwork no Contexto dos Videojogos

There are many artistic areas in the video games industry, from the early stages of conceptualization and pre-production to the final stage of marketing and publicity, creating a chain effect of interdependence and collaboration, along with programming activities, to achieve the creation of a video game. However, several existing video games have never had an artist's hand throughout their process, which makes it pertinent to question its importance, roles, necessity and utility in this industry, as well as how this partnership between the programming and the artistic areas develops. Therefore, for this project is intended the creation of artwork, concept art and illustrations, for a video game called Septem Peccata, based on the seven deadly sins of the puzzle-horror genre, first person view, “first person shooter” style, as well as analysing the process and methodologies used in the relationship between the artist and the programming team, and their role and importance in the development of a video game
