Blog #2: High Concept and Map

Physical Character (what does your character "look like", and also includes things the character has/holds/wears?)

My character looks like an ink black humanoid creature  with its head shapped like a helmet with no actual face inside of it. It is similar to like the dark looking back as you peer deeper into it. He holds onto his lotus backpack with stong string used as straps to hold the backpack. He uses the backpack which blossoms once her tries to take on another form which that represents a creature of the dark such as an owl or a bear. He also brings around his Pact compass which holds the location of those who have not had pacts fulfilled or completed yet.

Sociological Character (what is the background / present conditions of your character?)

The Character is born to be a small entity that is weak in power, but has the ability to the power of natural spirits to fulfill tasks. However my character dreams to one day be able to become a grand and powerful being. However in order to do this he must make deals to grow in power and if a deal goes unfinished he loses power instead. In order to make a deal he must find the desire of the one he speaks to and draw out a request for him to use his powers to fulfill.

Psychological Character (what motivates your character or pushes your character to the edge?) 

When my character is in a state of a pact being forfeited or on the verge of collapse he would do anything to see it through. This is due to my character feeling as he losses a part of himself through failing a contract he makes with others within the town.

Character Growth (How does your character change?) 

He grows through understanding the greed of others, as well as learning how every person in the town that he is in do not have greed for the same thing, but instead everyone has something different that they desire and the character begins to understands that by the time he really gets into carrying out the pacts he makes.

Character Development (How does the player learn about our character?) 

The player would learn about the Character through the many tasks he has to undertake in order to complete pacts with  others and the player can also understand him through the reactions he may have in the moment as well as the reactions other may give him.

Blog 1: Uncanny Valley & Sketches

Image
Cade Boden August 29, 2021 Quick Poses Sketches 1.  I drew many sketches on Quick Poses, however I feel after I watched the videos I was able to get a keen understanding of how to draw the structure of a human pretty quickly and make a rough outline. Out of the sketches I made I believe these two ended up being my best. Uncanny Valley and Game Characters   When I went around campus searching for items and places of interest I was able to think of 3 sketches based on what I came across that would avoid the concept of Uncanny Valley. Based on the article What is Uncanny Valley?  It described the concept of uncanny valley to be the area that turns something from being close to human into something off turning or very creepy (Caballar, 2019). The characters I created for this were  These different images were based off of an elevator in the communication building, and a trash can in the Wanek building.   I felt these avoided the uncanny valley concept for different reasons. The trash can I

Post #3:shape, Scale, Color

  Blog #3 Shape:      The major shapes that are shown through my character is the triangle and the square/rectangle. The main body and and the two pieces of clothes on the side of my character have the shape of a triangle/Square representing them. The arms, legs, and head I found were some what represented by triangle.  My picture:  Scale:      Based on the reading, it lists many different ways that the scale of your character may be explained such as the questions about expression, the importance of realistic movement, the silliness and seriousness of your game, and the visual angle of your game (Sivers). The idea in which my character is to base on scale is that the more pacts that he successfully carries out can determine if he and his power grow larger, and the creatures he turns into pay be bigger than his original form. In addition, because he doesn't have much of a face, expression is not shown to well in this type of game. He is also not always going to be the same size as
