Invisible Characters
Have you ever came up with an awesome idea for a game character? You've sorted out it's personality, race, looks - everything! But then you run into a problem. You want to show off your new character to your friends and devs but have nothing to show except a bunch of words and maybe a few crappy drawings that do not do the character justice in any way.
I know I have had this kind of experience. Let me tell you, game designers/artists have got it pretty good I say. Sure, they may not be able to program, but if you have the art, it's a lot easier to find a programmer to implement it than if you have a program with no art and want an artist. And then, of course, is the whole problem of trying to describe your character to the artist you do manage to find, and trying to get it to match the vision you have in your head.
So, on a different note, what's your most prized character you have designed? Or, if you haven't fully designed one - what sort of character have you thought of before? Drop a comment!
Keep those ideas flowing, and don't forget to write down any good ones! Always keep a pen and paper handy.
