"Good character design connects art direction, gameplay and storytelling"

"The design needs to clearly convey what the character can do"

"easy to understand shapes, clear understandable theme, consistent execution"

"restrictive palettes"

"lack of distinct identity, visual appeal and gameplay communication"

Concord - 一堆NPC拉雜成軍
Overwatch - 一堆主角拉雜成軍，每位都是很帥的主角

Functional Design
1. character silhouette
2. internal shapes
3. model sheet
4. 3D model
5. texture

silhouette是最重要的第一步

simple v complex
太簡單就像NPC
太複雜就認不出來

role representation

Storytelling: Characters should visually reflect their personality, role or backstory ... ideally.

Use of color - heroism/energy with vibrant and bold color, mystery/danger with darker tones

worldbuilding - art style, color palette, visual theme

storytelling - character design should invoke emotional responses

design = clarity for a specific purpose
