What is GDD?

A Game Design Document (GDD) is a detailed plan for a video game. It lays out the game's concept, mechanics, story, visuals, and technical details; providing a clear vision of what the final product should be. It's a roadmap that helps the development team stay aligned and build the game according to the intended vision.

GDD includes:

Short pitch
Main unique selling point
Game references
Core mechanics
Core loop & player’s main objective
Core progression
MVP deliverable expectations
