Hello!
Hello!
Hello, My name is Anna Temple. I am German/Korean and traveled to many places within my childhood. I was born and raised in Germany, moved to Texas for a time, and eventually made my way to Oʻahu when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I attended Aiea High School and eventually graduated in 2020 during covid. As for community college, I transferred from Leeward Community College after attending for 2 years, earned my associates degree, and then finally transferred to the University of Hawaiʻi – West Oʻahu. If I were an artist's tool I would be a palette. I feel that I would be a color palette just because I carry a specific range of emotions and experiences that differ from other people's "palettes." A color palette is used to blend different layers of colors together which could be a representation of the intricacies of my own self-exploration.

Abstract:
This research examined the role of character design in storytelling within video games. It covers the history of character design, the psychology behind it (including emotional connection and player identification), specific design techniques and tips, the difference between static and evolutionary designs, common problems and mistakes faced by designers, and the future of character design. The key finding is that character design can compel players to become invested in a game's story. The implications of this research could improve the work of character designers and facilitate the creation of games with more well-developed narratives.

CREATIVE PROCESS:
The concept of creativity has come a long way. The Old Greeks would call those creative forces muses, other religions referred to them as God. Today people still mostly treat creativity as an aha moment outside the area of influence. However, just by looking at the creative process one can tell, that creativity and creative work is more than just that one "Aha-Moment" (insight). It is clear that generating ideas demands planning and preparation, identifying something of interest like a problem, an opportunity or a challenge, doing research. This then leads to thinking of a solution, allowing time to incubate and iterations before arriving at something “complete.” Students learn that hard work is what makes their ideas come to life and sticktuiveness is what helps them get better.
