CENG $471$ Game Software Development Task: Create a Game Character

$1.$ Find $3$D character from Unity Assert and create suitable terrain for this character. Be careful your character has actions: running, swimming, fighting or etc.$$Here$$s a sample list you might use:$$ A futuristic pirate in outer space.

$$ A medieval knight trapped on a deserted island.

$$ A detective in a large city in the $1920$s$.$

$$ A time$-$traveling submarine pilot.

$$ A modern$-$day magician that discovers another realm.

$2.$ What Special Skills or Abilities Does Your Character Posses? Lists them.$$The skills and abilities of a character will translate directly into the game mechanics, so they should be chosen with care. The best video games provide just enough challenge to keep players from becoming bored but are simple enough to keep players from becoming frustrated.

With this in mind, encourage your kids to choose abilities that lend themselves well to balanced gameplay. Here are a few examples of abilities they might choose:$$ Superhuman Strength $$ This ability could let the character break through walls, lift and throw heavy objects, and jump really high.

$$ Supergenius $$ This skill could allow the character to fix and create things throughout the course of a level in order to access new areas and create defense systems.

$$ Shapeshifting $$ This ability could give the character the ability to hide from enemies and traverse a level in interesting ways.

$3.$ What is Your Character$$s Backstory in One Paragraph?Write in $10$ sentences.$$The goal with this question is to establish a simple backstory for the character. The backstory should explain their job, abilities, and location. At this point, the character should also be given a name.

Here$$s a sample backstory for my earlier example of a futuristic pirate in outer space:

Captain Neon Beard was an orphan living near a busy starship port on earth. One day, he stowed away on a starship, and since then he has roamed the galaxies in search of a legendary treasure. He uses his large mechanical peg$-$leg to enhance his jumping and combat abilities.$4.$ What Does Your Character Look Like?

Now that we$$ve determined a setting, backstory, and abilities for a character, it$$s time to make decisions about their appearance. Their clothing and features should match the setting and time period that$$s been selected.

Here$$s a list of what you should decide for this step:$$ What is the character wearing?

$$ What color are their hair, eyes, and skin?

$$ How long is their hair and how is it worn?

$$ How tall and built are they?

$$ What other distinct features do they have
