GDD: PROGRESS 02/03/2013

         Today, me and David met in University to get the entire Game Design Document for Synergy, our Action Adventure RPG, completed. Although Nicolas's middle four pages are missing, me and David have realised the idea and documented it - we're really confident about Synergy.

   As for the missing pages, we don't really know, we've both added in aspects that 'should' be in his pages just as a fallback, but when it comes to the Pitch Presentation (which we're working on) we have a problem - we want the presentaiton to flow. Most importantly though, we just want Nick to understand Synergy as well as we do - we want consitstency and flow both in the GDD and presentation.

Anyhow, the pages me and David wrote are below. Once we wrote our information, I took it, put it into Photoshop, developed a visual style and devloped the pages as you see them below.

MY PAGE'S: Title Page, Contents Page, Mechanics, Enemies and Bosses, Digital Strategy and Competition and The Chosen Game Engine.

DAVID'S PAGES: Story, Gameplay, Game Flow, Controls and Characters.

MISSING PAGES: Main Gameplay Concepts, Platform Specific Features, Game World and Interface

      Regardless of the pages Nicolas has yet to complete, the document is closed to finsh. The only thing that needs to be completed is the second Enemies and Bosses page - it needs some character sketches.

 

Once this is done, the presentation could be completed (besides Niiolas's pages) - I'll get that done today and then fianlly, this GDD woul be completed.
