Laser Rabbit:
SKETCH DESIGN DOC
Laser Rabbit is a game I created in 2 weeks using Unity. I had a big idea, and so decided I needed a Game Design Document even though it was such a short amount of time. Because I organized well enough, I was able to complete a little more than I honestly intended.
Step 1: Title
I started by making a quick sketch when I got the idea. I used it to remind me where the idea came from and the tone and direction of the game.
​
If I was on a team, I'd have put down a specific summary, but this quick reminder was good enough for me alone.
Step 2: Character movements
Step 3: "Order of Operations"
I worked out the movements of the character first, putting several ideas on the back burner and also considering how their animation could work in the future.
​
With the movements decided, I felt comfortable with the type of game I was making and created a list of steps for completing everything I wanted in the game.
Level Design
I did the level design first, thinking of enemy types while I worked on it. This let me make the level how I wanted to without having to cater or be confined by any previous ideas.
Step 5: Psuedocode (All) Step 6: Psuedocode (Individuals)
First, I wrote pseudo-code representing the entirety of the code for the game and how it would be connected. Next, I wrote pseudo-code for each individual piece of code I thought I would have to write.
Step 7: Scripting and Testing
Step 8: Level Block out
Step 9: Art and Sound
Step 10: Cutscenes
ALL DONE!
