”Finalizing the Game Design Document(GDD)”

The task of making Game Design Document was given by the lecturer and, a group of two members should start creating and submitted this activity at the 5th of October.

First Game Design Document Style:

As for the first game design document, I did use my time to create a One page sketch and simple version based on the instructions and outlines by the module lesson slideshow. Still, I review it to my partner and he wanted to refine it. So this old version will be improved.

This time, the second Game Design Document was refined and improved by my partner, including adding visual image and more details of the game mechanics. The new improvements contains the elements, the process chart and the final title of hte game. So far, this is the One page Game Design Document that we submitted at October 5th. It's not the final version but my partner and I cleared the first stage.

Third Game Design Document Style:

As time goes on, we made more pages that separates the game elements and their descriptions. That way, having more than one page can meet the requirements of the project. My partner was the one who separated the descriptions of the game elements in different pages whereas, I reviewed and added some visual images that could also used for the game descriptions.

Fifth Game Design Document Style:

The pdf file below is the last Game Design Document that we submitted in 19th of October on the Module DLE. My partner finalised the texts, descriptions and the arrangements of the artworks that I made. It may be similar to the fourth GDD but, we added a lot of improvements such as placing the beat charts, the Art Design Documents and other level design choices. That way, readers will able to learn more about the game itself.
