Character customization system

I developed Cooking Diary's character customization system, a cornerstone feature that lets players craft unique male or female avatars by customizing everything from skin tone to outfits. At the time of its launch in 2018, such an extensive customization system was a rarity in the time-management genre, setting a new standard for player personalization.

Working closely with our art and dev teams, I built a robust system that now includes over 8,000 customization elements:

• 1,776 outfits

• 88 facial feature sets

• 440 hairstyles

This feature significantly contributed to the game’s success, helping Cooking Diary win the People’s Choice Award at the 2019 International Mobile Gaming Awards and the People’s Voice Award at the 2020 Webby Awards. Through regular content updates, we continue expanding these options to enhance player engagement and personalization.
