This document outlines the key components of a game design document and technical design document used in video game development. A game design document describes all aspects of the game being designed, including gameplay, mechanics, levels, and technical requirements. It is created by the development team to organize their efforts. A technical design document provides specifications for engineers to implement the game, detailing features, schedules, diagrams, and technical requirements. It builds upon the game design document to guide the development process.
