Creating personalities in games
Do we really need it?
Today videogames becomes more complex and sophisticated and the players expectations of the game is continues growing. They want more emotional stories, amazing soundtracks and beautiful landscapes. But even if game has good storyline, it does not always makes game better. It is very important to have characters, that are similar to real persons with different personalities, feelings and emotions. Why do we need that? Because the temper is determing what happens to the character at the time, as different events going on around him, how he interact with different characters and items. All these things puts the player deep into a world that he will be able to explore.
Canny (C4N)
The main character of Scrap Garden – C4N is designed as small cute and clumsy robot. He has his past, present and future. He was old ordinary rusty can in a junkard, waiting for his renovation. And now he is alone, he is scared and at the same time curious. C4N created as the personification of a living person, with his own personality, feelings and responsibilities. He is going through different emotions like loneliness, fear and love. He, like all the robots, wants to live in harmony with nature, to believe in peace and will never forget its creator.
Decided to write mini article about developing Scrap Garden, retrogaming, dying 3D platformers and little bit about me.

This game is looks like Machinarium 3D (You can even get machinarium related achievement :) ). 1st of all this game is for like 12+ imo, game design, story telling etc, everything tells that this game is aimed for kids, so dont expect something like dark story, gore or hardcore action, if you like platformers for kids you will like that one:
+Games looks nice, a lot like machinarim, cant say it has superb graphics but i like that style.
+Great music AND great overall soundwork, all the effects are well done aswell (except the god damn spiders and mice squeaking, why they have to be so spooky its a god damn kids game :'( )
+This game has puzzles but they are quite easy to solve :), overall game difficulty are not hard aswell, except maybe one problem, if you fell down into the pit of doom or into the water and you were pretty close to the checkpoint - you have to complete the whole level again :( that can be quite frustrating, but well, you are the only one to blame i guess.
+- This game is preferably should be played with controller, guess with controller the controls should be perfect, while with keyboard + mouse controls may be clunky since you cant adjust mouse sensitivity ingame, and its pretty big by default + you cant aim with mouse freely anyway (cant look up or down, only left and right)
-Why the god damn spiders? Why always spiders?? WHY?
-You can change keyboard settings outside of the game, but when you load the game, controls are the same, basically the game ignores the controls you have set (bug i guess maybe will be fixed in the future)
-sometimes textures lag and you cant see the obstacle you are jumping at
-the most annyoing part for me was - whenever you kill the mob or pick up the crystal - you get microlag, 100% of the time, kind of frustrating i say, specially if you are jumping between platforms and pickups around, its making things harder.
In conclusion, if you like games for kids or if you just like machinarium, this is a good buy for you, most of the problems i faced were bugs, means that they will be fixed sooner or later
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
