Final Project Kick off



"Interactive Random-Based Character Making"


For my Final Project I want to make an interactive character making game-like thing! When I was searching for samples of such project, I found tons of "Dress up" or avatar making flash-games, which are basically a series of choices for body parts, or clothes, or cosmetics & accessories which you need to pick and drag to your destination or they will appear in the proper place just by your click, They are fun to play (they seemed like cheesy girlish kids games, but I couldn`t resist playing with at least 5 of them & dress up some dolls or girls!)
Anyway the common point in almost all of them was the limitation of choices and user`s complete control to the final look. Now what am I thinking about my project is to bring the "Chance Factor" to such game, so no matter how many times the player plays the game, he/she will end up with a new result.
How to approach it?
I wouldn`t offer the whole choices to the user at once, so for example at the first step, user will be offered with 10 different "head" shapes. He/She will pick one, The next step in to choose the eyes, but the eye options that will appear in the next step will be pulled out of a pool of choices randomly. So even if the next time user tries to pick the same head shape, he won`t get the same eye options for granted. Then user passes multiple stages until gets a full character.
To make it more fun, when the character is fully made, game will be finished with a randomly picked dance of the character, and maybe a random quote might appear as a bonus!
