Game Design Document Template

A template that captures a game's design — mechanics, story, and systems — in one doc.

// roots anchor data · the workspace remembers · reflexes emerge

A game design that lives in your head changes every week and confuses collaborators. This design doc captures mechanics, story, and systems in one place, so an indie team builds a consistent game everyone understands.

What's Included

  • Core mechanics: how the game plays.
  • Story and world: the setting and arc.
  • Systems: progression, economy, and rules.
  • Living doc: evolves as you build.

How To Use

  1. Clone the template.
  2. Capture your mechanics and story.
  3. Define the systems.
  4. Build from one shared vision.
