Open Game Design

I shall try to pin point the old wisdom of how to. I will edit it, add and remove stuff, patch bugs in the statements. This is just repetation of old information.

• Nothing will, everything shall – Be definite when you describing things, it shall not be a guessing game for someone that reads your document.
• Short but totally describing – Do not write for your sake, write for the developer that shall read it.
• Write in simple and in area language, don’t create new complex words for old things.
• Remove not needed explanations.
• No emotions – a dry language
• Knew the capacity of the development team.
• The time-frame the game shall be produced in.
• Don’t loose the small base idea – it’s the foundation in the game, it is what makes the game worth playing without the fancy glamour.
• The document is not your only end-station of ideas; you shall have all about the game in your head, every tiny non-important important thing.
• Let every idea rest for a while, let them grow in you head. Clean out the weed.
• Kill your darlings – A designer’s favorite quotation
