Framework para gerenciamento completo e padronização de projetos na Godot Engine

Abstract

Certain methodologies, such as frameworks and design patterns, are intrinsically linked to the reuse of project features. When properly applied, they enhance software quality, reduce effort, and expedite production and maintenance processes. This study aims to document and elucidate the development process of a framework using the Godot Engine, incorporating design structures and leveraging specialized classes to accelerate game development and facilitate maintenance by abstracting reusable components applicable across various projects, while maintaining a standardized structural and architectural model. The architectural model developed in this research was systematically organized into layers with specific purposes, tailored to the requirements and resources of the Godot Engine and the research project. In addition to development, demonstrations and testing were conducted on two projects, with only one utilizing the framework developed in this research. The testing involved measuring and comparing 38 criteria, categorized into quantitative implementation metrics, execution performance, and hardware usage, and subsequently compared, using the values from the project without the framework as the reference baseline.
