Wow, something I would never of thought of :) also, how long roughly should a GDD be? Between 10-20 pages with maybe more concepts?

It depends on the game, a more complicated one requires a longer GDD than a shorter one.

Like a arcade game would be a short GDD or as far as a rpg or similar would require a longer one ;)(I just never could do that right which is why i've sorta gave up on making a game until i learn how to plan stuff right especially for other projects unlike games ;))

A real good GDD is one of the resilent keys to good progress, speaking of my recent game project it really helped us! :tup:
