Game Design Document (GDD) Templates #

A GDD is your game’s blueprint - a living document that outlines your vision and guides the game’s overall development. A well-written GDD will cover topics like:

• Core gameplay mechanics and objectives
• Meta game elements
• Player and onboarding experience
• Art and aesthetics
• Economy and monetisation
• Go-to-market (GTM) and business model

GDDs help align your team around a shared vision, establish clear goals, and maintain focus throughout development. Rather than being a rigid rulebook, think of it as an evolving reference that grows and adapts with your project.

To help you get started, we’re providing a comprehensive GDD template that you can use to kickstart your game development.
