Games GDD

For this week's reading task I looked over the articles about Games Design Document.

A game design document is a tool used by developers to lay out on paper their ideas for a game and further communicate the information to other teams like the art team for example, the document can also be used as sort of a reminder tool of what is to be implemented into the game such as story, mechanics, systems, art style and so on.

A document like this is good to have in my opinion as it can help you lay out everything you need on paper but not going too overboard with it.
