In response to this week's theme of character and events, I created several models as envrioenment assets using blender. Those assests all contributed in forming Dr.Egg's (the character of my studio project) goal, experience and personality.
By doing that, I showed the story behind that unusual character:Dr.Egg can think and behave like a humanbeing because of he received the call from the old sun egg. The owner of the house left some tools like screws and screwdriver which allows him to make his equipments. He wants become the new sun egg before the old one retired. In order to achieve that, players need to collect enough sun power (token like coins) which will unlocks different endings. Thus, the sun still glows the world.
Similar work has been produced by Big Blue Box whose work explores this theme by building a dynamic moral system in which the behaviors players taken would influent the attitude of NPCs. It forms an interesting loop: environment makes the character make choices; the choices shape the character and the behaviours have changes the environment.
