Chris Hendricks | How We Made The Club Penguin Avatar @ChrisHendricks | Uploaded 11 months ago | Updated 5 minutes ago
For Club Penguin's 18th anniversary, I wanted to tell a story that I've never properly told before: how did Club Penguin's avatar come to be? How was it adapted from Penguin Chat 3? What considerations went into its creation? And why did I make it so that the penguin's tummy could be removed at some point?
0:00 - Intro
0:45 - From Experimental Penguins until 2005
3:06 - Improving Upon the Avatar of Penguin Chat 3
3:56 - Color Changing
4:39 - Clothing
6:41 - Animations
8:47 - Swift 3D
12:38 - Special Dances and Tummy Removal
15:37 - The Paper Doll
19:13 - Updating the Penguin Again
23:05 - Final Thoughts
Special thanks to the Club Penguin Wikia for helping me fill in a few gaps of my knowledge and storing so many useful pieces of art from the game.
