SUMMARY

Role: Character Designer

Intention (SMART Goal)

By March 18th, Wednesday of the Post-Production week as a part of the game production team. I will have completed learning about animation techniques and color palettes (refer to Training Sources below). to create an enjoyable game aesthetic with a detailed/fitting character style/ their personality in mind, much like Hideo Kojima’s design philosophy (refer to Leaders in the Field below). for the 1st session of the 3 sessions set for the Game Design Competition.
