In depth research/development of characters can be found here.
These are the current characters that I have designed. After my phase four presentation I have received some feedback and I’m considering making more pets. This will be decided in the early weeks of semester two after doing some more testing. I am also thinking of swapping the swan character for a monkey as there are two birds and I’d like a strong sense of variety. There is definitely potential to make these changes. It took me a day to draw these five so it would just be a matter of whether I can animate them in a similar time frame. For the meantime and near-future playtesting, I will stick with five until I am confident that I can produce and implement more.
Parrot - Jealousy
Swan - Grief
Bunny - Fear
Butterfly - Sadness
Tiger - Anger
