Custom character creation based on body movement and user input data

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause said at least one computing device to implement a method for generating a character for use in a video game, said method including:

• receiving captured video of a user;
• analyzing the captured video to identify movements of the user;
• using the identified movements of the user to define one or more animations of a character;
• receiving descriptive input generated by the user, wherein the descriptive input comprises a plurality of words that describe a desired appearance of the character;
• determining game-specific constraints for the character in the video game;
• generating a text prompt based on the descriptive input and the game-specific constraints, wherein the text prompt includes at least a subset of the plurality of words of the descriptive input;
• using text prompt as an input to prompt a generative artificial intelligence (AI) to generate visual elements of the character;
• and
• using the character for gameplay of a video game, wherein using the character includes rendering the character having the generated visual elements and triggering the animations during the gameplay.
