A short game design document can help you focus on your core game idea — and not spend hours on peripheral features that sound awesome but won’t work until you’ve built the game’s foundations. It will also help you overcome writer’s block, and a well-structured short design document can help you finish your game. The design document for the Dungeon Crawler example in this game is in Chapter 4, ​Design a Dungeon Crawler​.

Let’s start with something that can help defeat writer’s block: making notes.
