So somehow a month has flown by and I have done so much on this project and I have a lot to upload a lot of stuff which WILL be done through out today!
So the first thing I am going to unveil are the two characters that are in the trailer and their personality profile sheets, I have mapped out who these people are and what they are about. I learnt a lot from this process even though I had done it before, I always learn something different. As I was creating multiple profiles, it showed me that people will always have some differences and no one person is the same, although you can also use characters personalities to compliment each other.
