Devlog of procedural art

When discussing randomness and independence, the first thing that comes to my mind is people’s names. Everyone’s name is unique and different. Therefore, when each person enters their own name, it also presents unique results. Even though I don’t have fancy art to present it, I decided to show my mind.

In the beginning, I hoped that it would be similar to a kaleidoscope. However, due to his lack of ability, he could only abandon the original idea.

I redesigned 26 circles of different colors based on the 26 letters, and set them to different sizes programmatically according to the length of the name. Every time a player enters their name, they get a unique circle.

For the colors of the circles, I chose lighter shades to make them look more comfortable. And even though the hues are quite different, they look good when put together.

It’s a very simple design, but I think it turned out better than I expected. Of course, it can become more interesting on this basis, for example, like a kaleidoscope, the circle can have to flow symmetrical shapes; or design the shape on the circle according to each person’s surname. If possible, I’d like it to even rotate to give the player a more visually comfortable experience.
