In this game the player has to navigate and over come puzzles themselves. There may be NPC&#8217;s but other than this there will be no other characters to exaggerate how anxiety feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Personality traits for my character:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introverted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sensitive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creative<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cynical<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insecure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nervous<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quiet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Backstory Ideas:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"918\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-63.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-63.png 918w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-63-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-63-768x394.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before creating my character I want to gather it&#8217;s personality traits and backstory so I can envision what it may look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are some backstory ideas I came up with. The backstory I want to use is isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because this is the most meaningful to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shape Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the design process of developing a character, whether it\u2019s a concept for an animated TV series or film- artists always start from drawing basic\/primary shapes. The shapes commonly used for this process are circles, squares and triangles. Each shape can have a different meaning for a character and altogether give off a certain persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example circles can be used to create the shape of a face or body structure which doesn\u2019t just make it easier to design but it can also create a innocent, friendly and soft look making the character visually likeable. Circles are most likely to be used in a children\u2019s animated TV show or possibly in a children\u2019s game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the character\u2019s I\u2019m designing I want them to be mainly formed through triangles because it gives off a more strong and threatening look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-65.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-312\" style=\"width:526px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-65.png 560w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-65-300x243.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-64-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-310\" style=\"width:487px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-64-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-64-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-64-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-64-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr16g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/10\/image-64.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My character:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the traits I listed previously and using shape theory I want to incorporate mainly circles.
