# Video Game Workshop - Story Station Ideas

- green screen square to overlay AI generated images
- AI images: generate them irt using their own unique prompt + print out, generate irt using prompt we give them, generate irt using skeleton prompt (insert own characteristics), pre-print generated images and they pick their fave
- have them write one sentence backstory. give them prompting questions: do they have a dead relative? natural disasters? do they come from an alien planet? how does their species/position/role affect their life - fairy, elf, dwarf, goblin, dragon, hobbit, khaleesi, king, queen, jester, wizard, witch, healer?
- abilities connected to backstory
- maybe have a pre-set framework for world so that there aren't overwhelming options



**MIDJOURNEY IMAGES**
Use midjourney with a singular prompt: e.g "Pokemon style video game character, fairy type, really sad, wounded from battle":


Then, instead of choosing your favourite of the four generated options, design a different backstory/set of characteristics for each different generation. Will show that visual/character design has an important impact how the player will interpret the character, their motives, their attributes etc.


**MILA NOTE STORYBOARD**
https://milanote.com/guide/game-design-character-profile
- great free website, designed to digitally storyboard character development: walks you through each step
- can use Pinterest / WALL-E to generate images


**My Example! Ellie Williams - Last of Us**

**CHATGPT EVENT RANDOMIZATION**
Have either an existing or original character in mind. Ask ChatGPT to generate a random 'life event'.


*How would your character react to this scenario?*

**DESIGN OWN POKEMON CARD**


**RPG ARCHETYPE + AI IMAGES**
- Generate character using Midjourney or DALL-E
- Randomly assigned an RPG archetype to generate AI image
- Have to decide what their character would be like, based on archetype name and generated image

Fighter / Soldier / Warrior
Assassin / Ninja
Mage / Wizard
Archer / Hunter / Ranger
Berserker
Cleric / Priest / Enchanter
Necromancer / Shadowknight
Summoner
Dancer / Bard
Dragoon / Lancer
Blue Mage / Jack-of-all-Trades
