11. Case Studies
• The guerrilla games character design team.
The team designed the character of a new game horizon zero dawn. I would like to be
part of a team that designed characters for games as you could design a detailed
character to fit in with a game that is in the making.
Designing characters is a very important part of a game as if it is a single player that it
the only player they will be using and if the character is not very good and detailed the
game will not be a very good game.
Being part of a team that creates characters is a good way to create the character a
player always wanted to use, something that is unique and customisable which would
give the player some sort of control of the game and character.
12. Case Studies
