If anyone is interested in it after i'm done, i'll post it here for you guys to look at. It's going to be a RPG/Action Game with a Pretty cool Battle system in my opinion

Is your uni a specialty uni?

And I'm stuck with half my required courses that are completely useless...

It's a GDD, right? Well, probably a psuedo-GDD, since a real GDD is a couple hundred of pages, but still. I just wanna know the technical stuff about the game. Like, I'm guessing it's one of those "make this shit up" papers, but yeah. Programming language, development environment, game engine, that kinda thing.

Yea its a Game Design Document, but more about the actual game itself and it's overview than the Programming Aspects(which is what im majoring in), and stuff.

So sorry choco, none of that technical stuff will be in here, mostly just what the game is about and stuff.

Game Design has a specific document with its own acronym, now?

When did this happen?

It always has. Game Design Documents are used on every single game ever made

Amazing. You know this because you've read every single document for a game in existence?

Awww yeah, psuedo-GDD. I love those. They're basically "make this shit up and have it sound good", which shouldn't be hard. Also, where do you go to school?

In theory, every game is supposed to have an associated GDD to go with it. Whether or not this happens...I dunno. <_<

Well, yeah. I mean, doesn't everything get that treatment nowadays? Whether it's needed or not is totally irrelevant, also. <_<

I think the fancy name is only so they can have a fancy acronym, because programmers are too lazy. :D

Because tbh if they didn't have a fancy name and a fancy acronym I think people would just call it "the plans".
