When it comes to a game design document I had not heard of that before reading this week. Whilst reading I found many aspects very interesting in particular I find a video about laying out the game design document very interesting. The guy in the video is very precise easy to follow but also did not complicating is too much. I found a very interesting how vital it is to create a game design document before creating a game as if you don't you could back yourself into many different corners and get confused as to what your goals ideas and layout is when it comes to your game. I enjoyed looking at all the different sections I should put into your game design document, while looking at the video I was thinking in my head about what I would put in every section of this document. It was very clear as to what to do for each section and whilst looking at it I really realised how useful this document can be. I realised compartmentalising your project can be very useful to reference while you're starting to make your game and also during making it to remind yourself what you planned for each aspect of the game. Overall I liked learning about game design documents as it is another lesson and skill that I have learned and can use in the future.
