Character Creation

One of the most difficult parts in mobile game development is not the coding but rather the creation of the right characters to star in your game. You might have excellent programmers on your team but you need Character Creation as your priority because no game has ever become popular simply because of the technical know-how of its developers. The type of characters you produce may spell the difference between being welcomed by mobile game aficionados with open arms or listening to the deafening sound of silence as they ignore you. If your aim is to create a mobile game that will become very popular, learn to create interesting characters.

 

In Character Creation you have to have a compelling script, one that will appeal to your target demographic the most. Are you trying to attract male mobile device owners who have the right income level? Or are you trying to attract teens of either gender who can convince their parents that your mobile game is a must have? If you look at mobile games that are now existing and being played daily you will see that they offer a storyline that captures the imagination first before drawing in its audience for a closer look. Does your mobile game have a great storyline?

 

Another part of Character Creation that is very important is the artistic rendering of each character. This is where you can separate the true artists from the also-rans. There is really no substitute for artistic talent and this is so true even in mobile game development. It would be a plus if your artists also have technical skills in mobile device applications, though. If not, then you may need help from a company like Silvergrey.

 

Once you have the script fleshed out and the characters are drawn in the rough sketch, you still have quite a way to go before you have a viable mobile game. The coding now has to be developed and this is where many projects do get stalled because they not only have to find capable mobile app developers but these developers have to be affordable. That’s not so easy to find in a market where everyone is trying to get their own piece of the pie. If you are finding it difficult, do consider hiring Silvergrey as your developer of choice. We can supply the programming talent you need to make the characters in your game move and act the way you really want them to.
