Game Design Document

Game Design Document (GDD)

Creating a Game Design Document is standard practice in the game development industry. It helps you track your ideas and communicate with your team, and it may also be used to pitch for funding or partnerships.

The Sandbox has a Game Design Document (GDD) you can download and modify, which helps you plan the details of your project, including the concept, art, narrative, logic, player focus, marketing, etc. for a more successful outcome with:

  • reduced likelihood of revising your project midway

  • reduced production timeline

  • better organisation to track details

  • better communication of design intent with team members

  • fewer bugs due to careful planning

  • more polish and more appealing mechanics

  • more appeal to players
