It is not a secret that memorable characters play a decisive role in the popularity of a game and affect the desire of users to continue playing. Every good story needs outstanding game character design, and while we may have dozens of ideas about what kind of game characters we are going to create, in reality everything is much more complicated.
The game design character development is vitally important for the commercial success of a game. Main figures should be appealing, realistic, amusing and emotionally connected with the players. Depending on the genre of the game and the depth of the plot, a character can be either a person or some kind of abstract symbol, and this should also be reflected in the 2D or 3D.
The game character design can serve a variety of purposes. For some games there are people or creatures, the whole essence of which is read at a glance. But there are projects, where their motives may remain unclear to a player until a certain plot twist.
Nevertheless, there is a major driving force behind realistic rich 2D game characters design. While simple games usually don’t rely much on the story behind them, and their emphasis is made on the visual component, art-driven games are strongly narrative. The heroes and their stories are worked out so carefully that it may develop into a series of spin-offs or full-length animated films based on the stories of a certain game.
