I'm creating a game (similar to Game of Life) where players take turns rolling a die to see how many spaces they move forward, then they do whatever is marked on that space before then next player takes a turn. Each space has a video, so when they land on that space, they play that video. There are 56 spaces on the board, so 56 individual videos.
I would like to use some sort of annotations, end screen, etc to guide players to the next video just like the board guides them to the next space. One issue is that the players take turns. So, for instance, if player A lands on space 5 (so then plays video 5), at the end of that video, it's not their turn to move forward from that space, but player B's turn to roll the die and move 1-6 spaces from whichever space (and video) they happen to be on. For this reason, I can't just have a 1-6 choice of where to go next after each video.
Best I can think of is to recreate the entire board at the end of each video, and put an invisible annotation over each space so that clicking space 1 links to video 1, clicking space 2 links to video 2, etc. So, basically, it's just an image of the board where each space links to that video.
This would be a lot of work to set up, and I'd need some version of it after every turn, so, I'd want to just create this once and tack it onto the end of each video, or something similar.
First, is this workable? Is it feasible to fit the whole board on the screen (with all it's twists and turns) and overlay 56 annotations so it's basically a gameboard with clickable spaces?
Second, how do I do this once and tack it onto each video? Can I save the whole thing with annotations and all in video editor somehow and recall it again and again for each video?
Third, is there a better solution that works differently? Something that works on mobile? (from what I can tell, end-screens only give 4 links.)
thx
