Character design for video games presents a unique set of challenges. What sort of design fits the technical restrictions of your game? What kind of character best matches a game’s “core idea?” How can you create a character that stand out from the crowd? In this workshop, you will work collaboratively with other students to “pitch” an original game, designed from scratch. This pitch will include several character designs created to match your game’s thesis, and we’ll end the workshop by creating and displaying a paper “demo” of our game, so we can all see it in action. This workshop will be fast, fun, and rewarding for artists of all skill levels looking to better understand the role of collaboration and experimentation in game design and character design.

Gage Academy of Art acknowledges the Coast Salish Peoples as the original inhabitants of this area and connecting waterways. We understand the land that Gage occupies is unceded territory and that today many Indigenous peoples live here and without their stewardship, we would not have access to this space. We honor the Coast Salish Peoples’ sovereignty, rights to self-determination, culture and ways of life. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have called this territory their sacred land. We commit to learning, educating others and repairing the legacy of historically harmful relationships between non-Native and Native peoples in King County. In doing so, we will be honest, and recognize the experiences of Native peoples to include genocide, forced relocation, forced assimilation, and land theft. We also acknowledge Native peoples are survivors, present in today’s world, thriving. We encourage everyone here today to ask themselves: what can I do to support Indigenous communities?

In an effort to be transparent, Gage is contemplating this call to action and re-working how to best support Indigenous communities.
