Resumo: This paper will study the projective identity's building process in Littlewood, a digital game created by Sean Young and published by SmashGames. According to the American researcher James Paul Gee, the projective identity is built inside the game in consequence of the interaction between the player (actual world) and the character (digital world). The goal of this research is to show by a case study how fundamental is the role of the creators during the composition of that identity since they are the ones who determine the rules of the game and offer the operative tools the player uses to interact with the digital world.

Segundo o pesquisador estadunidense James Paul Gee, a identidade projetiva é aquela construída dentro do jogo em consequência da interação entre o jogador (mundo concreto) e a personagem (mundo digital). A proposta deste artigo é mostrar por meio de um estudo de caso que o papel dos desenvolvedores é fundamental durante a gênese dessa identidade, já que são eles quem determinam as regras do jogo e disponibilizam as ferramentas práticas que o jogador utiliza para interagir com o mundo digital.Center for Research in Computing, Literature, and Linguistics (NuPILL)2022-11-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigital/article/view/8374410.5007/1807-9288.2022.e83744Texto Digital; Vol. 18 No. 2 (2022): As artes digitais e seu amplo campo — Parte II; 62-76Texto Digital; Vol. 18 No 2 (2022): As artes digitais e seu amplo campo — Parte II; 62-76Texto Digital; v. 18 n. 2 (2022): As artes digitais e seu amplo campo — Parte II; 62-761807-9288reponame:Texto digitalinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigital/article/view/83744/51927Copyright (c) 2022 Helena Carvalhais Menezeshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMenezes, Helena Carvalhais 2022-11-09T18:20:07Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/83744Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigitalPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigital/oaitextodigital@cce.ufsc.br1807-92881807-9288opendoar:2022-11-09T18:20:07Texto digital - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
