To-Do Adventure - Game Character Design | 記事探險 - 角色設計
To-Do Adventure is a gamified tool that helps users track and complete their to-do lists by collecting unique tiles. When designing the companion character for the game, we wanted someone who not only excels at planning and guiding users but also radiates warmth and approachability, making the experience more engaging. After collaborating with the team, I created Gogotail, a lively and energetic beaver scout who encourages players to stay motivated and record their daily adventures!
《記事探險》 是一款透過收集板塊來幫助使用者記錄與完成待辦事項的遊戲化工具。在設計遊戲中的夥伴角色時，我們希望他不僅具備良好的規劃能力，能夠引導使用者，同時也帶有親和力，讓記錄的過程更加輕鬆愉快。最終，在與團隊的合作下，我設計出一隻充滿朝氣的河狸童子軍——勾勾貍，他將以活力滿滿的姿態陪伴玩家，引領他們記錄每一天的點滴！
Gogotail Profile 勾勾狸角色設定
Gogotail is a warm-hearted and friendly young beaver scout, born in a dam pond upstream. Naturally gifted in construction and planning, he is a meticulous and highly efficient strategist.
With a passion for travel, Gogotail thrives on using his planning skills during adventures, always eager to help the friends he meets along the way. From organizing winter food supplies for a squirrel family to coordinating migration schedules for traveling birds, these experiences have filled him with a deep sense of accomplishment and even earned him the title of "Master Planner."
Gogotail’s greatest dream is to explore the world alongside like-minded companions. If you're looking to take charge of your life's journey, he will be your most reliable travel partner!
勾勾狸是一隻熱心又親切的河狸小童軍，出生於河道上游的水壩池塘，天生擅長建築與規劃，是個效率極高、細心謹慎的計畫高手。
他熱愛旅行，總能在探險中發揮他的計畫才能，樂於幫助旅途中遇見的朋友，例如為松鼠家族籌備過冬糧食、替候鳥安排遷徙時程，這些經驗讓他獲得了滿滿成就感，還因此獲得了「計畫建築師」的稱號。
勾勾狸最大的夢想是與志同道合的夥伴踏遍世界。如果你也渴望掌握生活步調，他將是你最可靠的旅伴！

Character Design Draft 角色設計草稿
At the beginning of designing the game's mascot, we hadn't decided on a specific animal. Instead, we started by identifying the key traits the protagonist of this app should embody—such as being "well-organized" and "clever"—and searched for animals in nature that naturally possessed these qualities. Crows, known for their tool use and love of collecting shiny objects; sea otters, who skillfully use stones to crack open shells; and beavers, capable of constructing natural dams, were all strong contenders in the initial selection process.
At the same time, I considered what kind of role would best suit this character. In the end, we chose a "Scout"—a character known for their practical survival skills, willingness to help others, and friendly personality.
在最初構思遊戲吉祥物時，尚未確定要選擇哪種動物，因此我從這款 App 需要的主角特質出發，在大自然中尋找具備「善於規劃」、「聰明機智」等特性的動物。烏鴉因擅長使用工具並喜愛收集閃亮物件、海獺懂得利用石頭撬開貝殼，而河狸則能建造天然水壩，這些特點都讓它們成為我的首批考量對象。
同時，我也思考這個角色適合什麼樣的身份，最終選擇了「童子軍」——一個熟知各種生活技巧、樂於助人且富有親和力的角色設定。
