Join The Game Beyond for a live Character Design Lab focused on creating stronger, more believable game characters.

We’ll discuss character archetypes, motivation, psychology, player relationships, and how character design connects to gameplay and narrative.

Bring a character you’re developing, a game idea, or simply a question about character design.

This is an informal live discussion in The Game Beyond Discord and is free to attend.
