Transgendered Video GameHey ladies:
I'm Nik, a video game design student who is new to this forum. Part of my culminating project is to conceptualize a computer-based game for transgendered, straight, lesbian, and gay youth. There is a growing trend towards alternative gender expression amongst children twelve and under. My concept is to create a game titled "Disguise"; it will take place in a cross-dressing masquerade ball, in which players' objective is to find and dance with their partner, who is also disguised. During the course, players must interact with other characters for clues about their partner's whereabouts. The clues, however, will only be revealed if the player correctly guesses the character's sexuality through context. I know this is a bit abstract and, possibly, overwhelming...but creating this game can help break down gender stereotypes that are prevalent in this age group.Thank you in advance!
Nik
