Concept Development Phase Goals - Determine what the game is about and convey to
others in written form. Concept document:
– Premise (basic idea of the game, describing mood and unique “hook”)
– Player Motivation (briefly discusses the game’s victor condition)
– Unique Selling Proposition (what makes the game stand out)
– Target Market
– Genre
– Target Rating
– Target Platform and Hardware Requirements
– License (if applicable)
– Competitive Analysis
– Goals

Pre-Production PhaseGame proposal: Hook (element that will attract players and keep them there) Gameplay (10-20 elements that describe game playing experience) Online Features (if applicable) Technology (special hardware or software if applicable) Art and Audio Features Production Details Backstory (summary of everything that took place prior to game) Story Synopsis (main story incorporating how gameplay will reflect story) Character Descriptions Risk Analysis Development Budget Concept ArtThe Game Design Document (GDD): Game Interface Character Abilities and Items Game World Game Engine
