Fabulamente is a PC and tablet game based on psychological procedures to stimulate the development of working memory in children while introducing them to Brazilian folklore characters. In this project, I worked as a Game Designer and Narrative Designer. I had to work closely with psychology researchers to take the raw procedures and turn them into engaging mini-games; to boost engagement, I also used Brazilian folk tales to design a narrative context to turn the individual mini-games into a big and important journey for the player. The game is to be released in 2021.
Idle Stories is a casual mobile game in which the player works as a digital influencer while taking care of their personal life. I am responsible for creating engaging systems and mechanics (as well as their UI/UX and balance) to fit the casual aspect of the game, as well as assist the art team with content design so they can develop cool items to boost our monetization strategies. The game is still in production.
