The character creation process unfolded in distinct stages. During the initial ideation phase, a preliminary backstory was crafted to establish the setting of the game, envisioned as a dystopian India. Furthermore, the character's name was determined at this stage.
ChatGPT was employed to generate a backstory for the character. The initial idea was input into the generator, resulting in a compelling backstory. Through multiple iterations and the introduction of specific keywords, a satisfying backstory was ultimately selected.
Convai offers services to create intelligent NPCs or Digital Assistants for applications. Given its compatibility with Unreal Engine, the platform was utilized to establish the character's backend. The generated backstory served as input, and voice and action choices were selected to shape the character. The character ID associated with the generated character was then linked to the final NPC model in the game, serving as the driving force behind the character's actions and speech.

MetaHuman serves as the character creator for Unreal Engine, allowing the generation of highly detailed and realistic 3D models that can be directly used and animated within Unreal Engine. In our project, a new character was crafted by incorporating facial features derived from Pawan, collected using FaceGen. Modifications and additions were made to ensure the character's uniqueness, including the addition of facial and head hair. Subsequently, the model was exported to Blender to connect and rig with the previously downloaded clothing model.
