When we were brainstorming we decided that the main character should be a mad scientist - like Doc Brown or Rick.

We kept the character design within that style range and made everything much rounder and cuter.

Having references helped a lot with creating the character and the whole world around it. Time went by and we were thinking a little more about what this characters traits are. We wanted a character, that has achieved a bunch and is close to finishing his final sciency project. The character should act like he has seen it all (not surprised by the weirdest things) and finally wants some rest. We tried to get that attitude across by writing the voice over with that in mind. For example - we had a lot of fun fooling around with 'What would the character say' - the word AGAIN~ was a recuring theme and so we decided to highlight it by bringin it up every now and then.

In the end - we simply had a lot of fun creating the character for epoch and we would like to know what are your design choices for characters during a 48hrs. jam? Are there any or to many?

Cheers~
