Why use a GDD
Why experienced teams never skip one.
Keep Everyone Aligned
Art, design, and engineering share one source of truth instead of chat archaeology.
A four-person jam used the doc as standup checklist — zero “I thought we meant…” debates.
Improve Production Speed
Decisions made early mean fewer mid-sprint redesigns and blocked tickets.
Level designers blocked rooms from locked abilities listed in Progression.
Reduce Expensive Rework
Catch mismatched fantasy, tech, and monetization before assets are sunk cost.
A studio killed an online mode after Technical Requirements made the budget clear.

Idea → level → art → collision → audio → progression
