While the earliest character representations in video games were
rudimentary in terms of their presentation and performance, the
virtual characters that appear in games today can be extremely
complex and lifelike. These are characters that have the potential
to make a powerful and emotional connection with gamers. As virtual
characters become more intricate and varied, there is a growing
need to examine the theory and practice of virtual character
design. This book seeks to develop a series of critical frameworks
to support the analysis and design of virtual characters. Virtual
Character Design for Games and Interactive Media covers a breadth
of topics to establish a relationship between pertinent artistic
and scientific theories and good character design practice.
Targeted at students, researchers, and professionals, the book aims
to show how both character presentation and character performance
can be enhanced through careful consideration of underlying theory.
The book begins with a focus on virtual character presentation,
underpinned by a discussion of biological, artistic, and
sociological principles. Next it looks at the performance of
virtual characters, encompassing the psychology of emotion and
personality, narrative and game design theories, animation, and
acting. The book concludes with a series of applied virtual
character design examples. These examples examine the aesthetics of
player characters, the design and performance of the wider cast of
game characters, and the performance of characters within complex,
hyperreal worlds.
