O Potencial das Engines Open Source no Desenvolvimento de Jogos Digitais com Inteligência Artificial

Abstract

The digital games market stands out as one of the most dynamic and profitable sectors of the contemporary global economy, driven by constant technological evolution. In this context, open source engines are emerging as increasingly relevant alternatives, offering robust resources and democratized access to digital game development. This article aims to analyze the potential of open source engines in the context of digital game development supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. A bibliographic review was conducted based on academic sources, market reports, and technical documents published between 2005 and 2025. The development section presents the current panorama of the digital games market, discusses the importance of open source tools for democratizing access to game creation, compares the use of these tools by companies and relevant projects, and analyzes the integration of AI resources available in these platforms. The results indicate that open source engines have expanded innovation possibilities, reduced entry barriers, and fostered the growth of collaborative communities, while enabling the application of advanced AI techniques in game development. It is concluded that open source engines represent a strategic force for the democratization and diversification of the digital games market, especially in a context of increasing appreciation for creativity and technological innovation..
