Games GDD

 The Game Design Document (GDD) is an important process when designing a game and thinking about every aspect to what will be included in the game such as, mechanics, dynamics, aesthetics, obstacles, challenges, and characters since only thinking about these things without recording it somehow will be hard to remember when moving forward with the design of your project; therefore, recording everything in this document is a really good way that will make the designer and the team know exactly what is the game about and every other aspect included in the game. 

Sections to include in the GDD:

• Game Design
• Technical
• Controls
• Mechanics
• Setting
• Game Flow
• Graphics
• Style
• Layout
• Color Scheme
• Music
• Sound
