Fair Winds: design especulativo e concept art na criação de experiências contemplativas em jogos digitais

Abstract

Currently, the speed of society seems accelerated, with daily life constantly busy, human beings try to make the most of their time. Which should not be lost to activities that will not enrich the individual in any way, but one of the activities that the current individual of performance does not realize it eliminates, is contemplation and deep attention, where the subject can have a moment of breathing. As a result, many acclaimed games of the last decade brought the contemplative element to players in different ways, and one of them, the one that caught the most attention, was contemplative activities similar to reality and that had a more human touch, serving as escapism for the player. Through Speculative Design, it is thought about how ideas of contemplation are applied in video game concepts and narratives, and how these contemplative elements create a connection with the player, who will spend time entirely with themselves and their thoughts, connecting them both with yourselves and to the moment lives in, and as a consequence, carrying the game's bond of deep attention to their own life.
