Activision Blizzard has created a tool that will make it easier to create various characters in the future.
The Activision Blizzard studio community has developed a new tool that will make it easier for creative staff to create a wide variety of characters in the future.
The tool is named “Diversity Space Tool‘ and is a matrix in which the various attributes of the characters can be represented.
One tries to depict the following properties:
- Culture
- ethics
- age
- Capability
- body type
- gender identification
- sexual orientation
In the matrix, a kind of “explosion diagram” should then be used to show how pronounced the respective property is for the selected character. The model might be familiar to some players from titles like FIFA or older Dragon Ball games where you just want to compare characters with each other.
It remains to be seen whether this will make the character landscape in games from Activision Blizzard more colorful and diverse. In any case, it’s never a bad idea to give developers tools to make it easier for them to meet the needs of the company, don’t you think?
