How do i make a prototype?

Hi! so i heard that if you come up with a game idea, you will want to make a prototype first before actually putting all your effort on the idea.

But i don’t know what’s a prototype, i also never seen one.
it would be really helpful if someone can explain this to me.
how much time should i spent on making the prototype?
what aspect should i focus when making a prototype? (building/scripting)

If you look up the word prototype it means a first or preliminary version of something.
My post in here is a good example of how to make a first version of a game. Starting A Story Game

You’ll first need a plan.

It’s basically the scripting and the structure of the game without any aesthetics or decoration. Most things are placeholders and a prototype’s purpose is to be a concept and the basic structure and code of a game.

Looks like a presentation someone that takes roblox developing very seriously would make.

Tbh its less cheap and long to just use google docs to present your game ideas.

Heck, for notes I just have an inactive Script in the Workspace titled “Ideas” where I type out --[[ ideas and notes ]] so I don’t forget them.
