Characters
Added 2024-06-14 13:51:48 +0000 UTCWhile day-dreaming about possible distant-future projects, I often catch myself on the dilemma: plenty of characters but shallow development, or few chars with deep story and connection?
It's always enticing to include more characters because "ooh! I want this, and I want that too!", but in the end, deep inside, you understand that realistically you can provide really deep story telling with intimate feel only to so much characters due to both monetary and mental budget.
Of course there's some tricks of how to imitate character depth or how to trick the player/viewer into connection with a character (like Toriel in Undertale) with minimal tools and time frame. But let's keep it outside.
Anyway, what do you prefer?
