How We Made The Club Penguin Avatar

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.
