Watch the video by BlackThronProd and as a group start brainstorming some ideas on your document. There are some helpful questions to think about and get your brain going. You are then going to write 3 synopsis for games you could make.

Generating Design Ideas document. Get out some paper and pencils and when you are done scan this into your document.

From your three concepts you need to gather some feedback. The easiest way to do this is to present your ideas to the class and get them to give immediate feedback. This could be as simple as a show of hands about which design idea is best.

The content for this worksheet is covered in the Relevant Implications page. After you have completed the worksheet and looked at some of the examples complete this document.

As a group you are going to make a fully fleshed out Game Design Document. There are more complete instructions in the Basic Video Game Design page if you need a refresher from last year.

Only one member of your team needs to make a copy of the GDD and then give access to all the other members. It may be useful to work on the parts of the document most relevant to what you will be working on when you begin development.

You must get feedback on your game design document. One easy way to do this is to swap game design documents with another group and leave comments on their document. After this any changes based on this feedback need to be demonstrated:

1. Anything that is removed should be strikethrough.

2. Anything added should be highlighted or coloured.

During a week of class time under test conditions you will write a quick report on your Game Design. You should answer all the questions with a TEXAS style paragraph. You can refer back to your previous worksheets and brainstorms but can talk as a group about your answers.
