Documentation Practice

A collection of game design documents for made-up games and university projects, demonstrating documentation skills.

Documentation Practice is an ongoing personal initiative where I create comprehensive game design documents for both conceptual game ideas and university This practice helps me improve as a game and level designer by documenting ideas thoroughly and communicating them effectively. These documents cover various aspects of game design, including mechanics, systems, level design, narrative structure, and technical implementation details. The goal is to develop the ability to translate creative ideas into clear, actionable documentation that could guide a development team.
