What's important in good character design?
Sexualised women and misogyny
Don't be boring.
Being offended is better than being boring.,
Streamline the design into something recognizable, over complication can lead to the character just looking garish with no clear focal point for the eye to be drawn to, also need sexy anime girls.
Perpetually offended people are the most boring people on earth.
The well known silhouette deal where you can tell who and what the character is just by their silhouette.
As well striking the balance between simplicity and complexity so you can see what the character is all about and their interests without being too busy.
Or I guess if you want a Zig Forums opinion on character design then maybe slutty anime lolis
Big tits
Minimal cringey zoomer shit
Maximum wholesome boomer shit
Hold hands
does the girl have thighs and calves that can effortlessly choke me to death? good character design
This is totally not market research: The Thread

>Is that game still alive?
On Playstation, yes. On Steam, lolno.
i dont even know what fucking game it is
the op pic is offensive to me
i would rather have "boring" than ugly dogshit
In a multiplayer game, you need to have a certain type of person in mind when designing each character. They need to appeal to people who like archetypes such as "hot slutty girl", "edgy buff dude", "cute nerdy girl", "stoic man" etc. Just look at Overwatch, almost all characters have their own design niche, which is why most of the characters are so well received, and compare them to the bland voids of personality of the Lawbreakers or Apex Legends characters.
what game
better not be fortnite
Feel like you should instantly get the idea of what a character's all about when you see them. When you see Guile's camo pants, dog tags and American flag tattoo you immediately know his deal.
Pic related will always be the inverse example of that for me.
Cliffy B's magnum opus.
You only "need" to do that if you want a generic lukewarm junk food art style for your game, which all the games you mentioned have. If you're making something to appeal to everyone that thing is probably shit.
Its kind of a shame. The game had some potential, It was a lot of fun before they fucked up the gameplay. Without that clusterfuck of a UI and with better marketing maybe it could have gone somewhere
It always hurts to see a game die, Regardless of its quality, It's a game that nobody will ever be able to play again, Killing games should be illegal.
Characters having their niche audience =/= targeting every niche audience
I'm not saying all characters should appeal to everyone, quite the opposite
>Without that clusterfuck of a UI and with better marketing maybe it could have gone somewhere
sounds similar to Randy Bobandy's magnum opus
But you're saying a game should have enough individual snowflake characters that can appeal to as many demographics as possible, that shit is garbage. Just because it's successful doesn't mean it's good or desirable - almost all modern multiplayer games follow your line of thinking and it's fucking boring and ugly.
Women need to look attractive and dress in sexy clothes that show of their cleavage, hips and belly.
Male characters need to look heroic and attractive and dress in cool armor/outfits that show of their experience and fighting capabilities
You don't have to take it so extremes. Just look at Tekken, they have the same kind of design philosophy, where anyone can find at least ONE character that they find cool and want to play, and that can get you into the game.
I can't find a single character in Apex Legends or Lawbreakers I find appealing, and thus I will not play those games.
destruction allstars, upcoming ps5 game, its gonna fucking flop but at least it gave us a Zig Forums babe to wank to
