Filet: design de um jogo de cartas como estratégia de valorização e divulgação do filé, patrimônio imaterial de Alagoas

Abstract

Based on the argument that educational games are important tools for the identification, appreciation, and preservation of cultural heritage, this study aimed to develop a card game with gameplay that promotes the appreciation and dissemination of "Bordado Filé," an intangible heritage of Alagoas. The research involved theoretical and historical studies on Alagoas' cultural references, particularly "Bordado Filé," as well as on mass culture and the integration of games into society. Suitable gameplay mechanics for the product were studied and selected, along with strategies capable of incorporating elements of the identity of "Filé Alagoano" into the game. Lastly, graphic design studies and visual planning focused on the creation of card games were conducted. The project methodology followed the adaptation of methods for game production by Acioli (2022) and Lage (2021). The goal was to visually represent "Filé Alagoano" through illustrations and incorporate its elements into the game mechanics, resulting in a card game called "Filet," presented in this Design Course Conclusion Paper.
