This week, based on the references I found for my dissertation, the direction of my dissertation was set as how the behaviour that different characters should behave in the same scenario context would look like. In replacing the variables ‘personality’, ‘appearance’, ‘background’ and other factors, is it possible to explore some inherent design principles that could provide some ideas for character designers.
Below is a reference to the paper I looked up.
