"The site launched May 14th, 2026, on IgAN Awareness Day, with the debut of The IgANimator™, a custom-built avatar generator that takes answers to questions posed to IgAN community members and using a proprietary algorithm, produces a custom manga-inspired avatar based on those answers." From Believe LTD's website.
Sprinter Works Studios designed several characters to select from, giving a range of hero archetypes for users to identify with as avatars. Each of the characters has around 8 different categories of selectable clothing, faces, skin tone, hair and other attributes allowing players to make their avatar truly unique. The web app first asks users a variety of questions and provides a custom character based on their choices, then they can customize the character to their liking.
In total Sprinter Works created 370 assets for the avatar creator web app.
