v Designing: In the designing part, it is quite the same as the Barbie Fashion
Show on PC. That is both the HUD and the Interface are fully two –
dimensional e.g. HUD selection, painting and clothes design.
v Models: The models are quite the same as the ones in the Barbie Fashion
Show: PC version. The female and male models are made from full 3D low
polygons. The reason for the low polygonal creation is this game requires
various camera views of the model walking motion to create the virtual reality
of the real fashion shows. The switching from one camera view to another
requires low polygon creation for the smoothness of the game without any
interruption.

Additional Feature
In the 2008Barbie Fashion Show, the working team has added two more fashion
show themes which are Male Show: First Date and Male Show: Rock Band. Such
additional features have created more effects in many parts of the game such as:
v Five more male models are added on the model board in the same style as the
female models. That is all five of them have same body shape but only
different because of their skin color, eyebrow color and hair style.
v When the male fashion show festival comes (Male Show: First Date and Male
Show: Rock Band(, the game will increase its collection of clothes and design
formats on the design table to include specific garments for men. Such clothes
are unfit for female models and the male models cannot wear the female
models’ clothes as well. When the game unlocks the male apparels, the game
has also added the male dresses which have the appearance of long Godfatherthe-movie-style coats.
v When the male fashion show festival comes (Male Show: First Date and Male
Show: Rock Band(, the game will add the hair style and male shoes in the
model customization page but less number than female’s elements. The male
hairstyles and shoes cannot be used with the female models and those of the
females’ cannot be used with the males’ as well.
v Every time that the player is trying to put on the female apparels on the male
models, the player will be warned by Teresa every time that such action is
prohibited. In other words, Teresa will say that such apparels, hair-style and
shoes cannot be used.
v The models’ postures on the Fashion Show Runway will be changed to those
of the male models when the Male Show: First Date and Male Show: Rock
Band has come.
Optional: Another option in the game play in the male model mode is the Cyber
Planet team will block the unconcerned elements that belong to the female models so
that they are not shown in the male model mode. When there is a male model fashion
festival, the game will show only the options or elements that belong to men as below:
v On the design table, there is no female apparels )Tops, Bottom, and Dresses(
but the color, fabric and accessories are still the same.
v On the model board, there will be no female models’ pictures and in the part
of model customization, there is no hairstyles and shoes for women. The game
will show only those for men.
v On the fashion show runway, the game will not show the female postures but
will only show the male postures.

Couple Fashion Show
As Rachel idea, we discovered that couple fashion show may raise amazing fun of
playing game. In the game, there are all 10 events to prepare dresses for each fashion
show as:

School Spirit (3 outfits)
Male Show: First Date (3 outfits)
To the Beach/Swimwear (3 outfits)
Retro Funky (4 outfits)
Asian Inspired (4 outfits)
Male Show: Rock Band (4 outfits)
Prom (5 outfits)
Pop Star (5 outfits)
Wedding/Bridal (5 outfits)
Future Fashion Finale (5 outfits)
Now CP team decided to adjust Prom theme and Wedding/Bridal to couple fashion
show. Both 2 fashion shows will make the player to double design- original version
the player need to design 5 outfits for Prom and 5 outfits for Wedding/Bridal. But
now, the Prom needs 10 outfits for 5 female dresses and 5 male dresses and the same
way with Wedding theme. And now we changes Wedding/Bridal to
Wedding/Bridegroom and Bridal. Thus, once the player reaches Prom event or
Wedding events there is a little gameplay adjustment which the player has to design
both female outfits and male outfits but not the same time. First the player has to
design dresses for female first- general gameplay. Next, once the player has finished
female outfits designing, Teresa will suggest the player to build up remaining male
outfits – in the same number of female. Then, the player has to enter design table
again to design the rest of male dresses.
Not only designing section is changed but also model board too. As the old version –
Barbie PC GDD 1.00, the player has to define only female model match with the
dresses. But now in the latest version of Barbie Fashion Show, the player strongly
needs to define male model too. Once the player has finished match female and
dresses together, Teresa will appear to instruct the player to match male outfits with
the male model in the same way like designing section. Finally, the player is
permitted to enter Fashion Runway menu as well.
** the couple feature will also affect to model fitting.
The Runway
Of course, the game will combine Male show and Female Show together, the player
customizes the Runway as usual but there are 10 models walking on the runway. The
male model and female model separately walk but finally, in the end of fashion show,
male models and female models will be paired with no walking- stand together in a
half body camera view (see below pictures) – sure this time the player can capture

their picture as need. Lastly, the pictures display two of them together in their
matching outfits.

Scene Play Storyboard
Since the NDS is a portable terminal (Handheld terminal), the CyberPlanet team
consider that there should be no FMV containing in the game since too many memory
will be used and it will be difficult to manage the memory units. Therefore, we have
decided that the game is to be presented mainly in the form of scene plays (whereas
the story is still the same as on the PC Platform). For this reason, The below picture
and the storyboard shown below are the sample of the narration in the scene play style
(still pictures with the narration)
NOTE: CyberPlanet team has considered the FMV to be used on the NDS and
found that using the FMV on the NDS will case the RAM problem and also affect
the size of ROM. The CyberPlanet team then uses the Scene Play narration as a
good solution. We would like the Activision team to give us your idea whether we
should input the FMV on this Barbie Fashion Show game, NDS version
