Whoa... Last update was before Thanksgiving break. And here Christmas break is starting to inch closer every day, whoo!
As far as my paper prototype, I'm actually finished with it. I didn't get to film it, and I'm kind of glad I didn't have to today, because I'm really kinda sick and I wasn't feeling up to trying to explain it with my own voice.
The total number of scenes I have is seven. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, to be honest. It starts out with the title menu screen, then the next two are the instructions on how to play. After that, I added a bit of a storyline with a protagonist that you get to play as. Hopefully, it's not too boring or drawn out. The last thing I want to do is bore the player more (and come on, you have to be bored if you're willing to play a dress up game or the like). The storyline continues for two scenes, although with each scene there are three panels of text. Then you finally get to the playing part (FINALLY) and I have a few cutouts to explain how you gain and lose points, and the time limit you have and so on. The last page shows Game Over, with the options to either go back to the main menu or try to play again.
The buttons on each scene will hopefully be noticeable to the player. I have it in mind that for the monologuing there will be red arrows to choose whether to go forward to the next set of text or back to the ones before, and for choosing the different outfits and whatnot the arrows will be big and blue. I might change it to a more attractive color, but I'm sticking with blue for now. I'm not sure if there's anything I need to add or that's not needed, I'll ask Mr. Allder when he gets back. But I'm pretty confident I did most of it right, so that's out of the way as far as schoolwork.
I kind of don't want to do the whole paper prototype via video. I know that the only thing that'll be seen of me are my hands, but I have a thing about disliking myself on camera. And I also tend to get really nervous, so I'm afraid my voice will be all shaky and stuttering. I'll probably be even worse when it comes time to present the actual game, if I get that far..
