Character Design
Character design is a very important part of creating a video game. There are some important features that a sucessful character should have. Keep in mind that a character does not need to have all of these traits to be successful.

I definitely agree with the traits you've listed. It's also important to consider the audience. For me, I'm an RPG gamer so I really enjoy graphics that look "cool" such as characters from the Final Fantasy games, and the simple/cute characters from Pokemon. I love love love Pikachu!!! ^_^ And Cloud!
ReplyDeleteI'm a gamer too, and honestly, the ability of the character is a major characteristic to me. I love it when one character can do something that seems outlandish to the other characters of the game or me as the player.
ReplyDeleteFor example: One of the coolest things that I love about the newer Final Fantasy games is the limit breaks and special attacks. Although I love the SNES gams, these specialties make me like a certain character more and bring me back to them over and over again.
