Character Overview Slides (2023) (Patreon)

Back when I was developing Chapter 4 and still in the process of fully plotting out Evoria's story and character arcs, I made these- special slides to give a general overview of the characters (and their inspirations) to give a better feel for how they'd be personified in-game!

It's funny looking back at these, especially with the character inspirations shown side-by-side! (It's crazy to think that the big bulk of Mitzi's personality was inspired by a Riddler animatic...)

Some things with the characters' personalities have changed, as well! For example, I hadn't even come up with the character of Fuchsia yet, so Cherry didn't have quite as clear of a "hook." Fuchsia was a design SeaBea came up with as a "Slime matriarch" figure- it was only after some more outlining that I came up with the idea to make her Cherry's two-faced ex!

These are OLD. So old that Cherry didn't even have a real portrait!! So much has changed in the years that have passed since then... Like, did 2023 me REALLY think that I'd introduce Cherry as a character AND a party member in Chapter 9!? So we'd go almost halfway through the game without ever seeing her and then all of a sudden she'd show up and join the party? It's a really good thing I ended up changing that...

I figured these'd be interesting to share- especially since we're at a point in the story where you've seen a lot of these character traits/inspirations in action! That's all for now, I hope you guys find these as interesting as I do!
