Most character customisation games that are intended for an teenage/adult audience exist in the realms of 3D, however when you start to research into character building games for young children there is a greater amount of emphasis on the 2D world. This is most likely to make it easer for children to use and understand. For example http://www.dolldivine.com is a website that hosts a number of ‘Doll makers’ and ‘Dress up games’ for children to use to create their own characters. One of them includes the Pony Creator by General Zoi, which is perhaps the most customisable of these simple dress up games. This game allows you to create your own ‘My little Pony’ characters based on the children’s TV show and allows you to customise them going through and changing every feature by cycling through a series of preset parts.

The final stage of the pony building is to accessorise your character and then you can select a background and pose the pony. You are then able to export your pony as an image, however this is the most interactivity that the game allows.
