Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

writing that doc would be least favorite thing to do in the whole wide world I think! GameJams for me is all about seeing what you can quickly scrap together in the short time frame, its probably why I'm more of a game jam style developer than in it for the long haul type game dev!
I have not read the spec of what you need to deliver here so some of my comments may be way off!
I had a read through the doc anyways. First thin I would say is that the layout of the first page needs some work. It loks a little messed up. I see:
""Filter"
By"
and then it goes into the index, where the first part of the index is "Filter by Will M..."
For any type of report you should have a dedicated title page I would have thought. Title of the report, sub title maybe, date and author:

I think you have too many main headings in your index too
for example Controls, Camera, Mechanics and powerups are all Gameplay Elements right?.
You may also be able to consolidate the level description into one generic description, after your description for level one you could add "" each subsequent level removes one card to choose from and the points they recieve for incorrect answers increases by one (e.g. Level 3 has only two cars to choose from and they receive 3 points for incorrect answers)
The game sounds interesting though, what do you plan to right it in?
Good luck with it!0 -
Thanks for your feedback! Greatly appreciated, as I said Im new to all this so its good to get some outside perspective.
Haha yeah I think GDD's are my least favourite thing to do as well but part of this GameJam for me was to go through everything from start to finish inside a week to get experience. I am also working with a couple of new people so it was important to put down in writing everything that we needed.
Building it for Android as that is what the guys I am working with are best at. I am happy to say that we have our first build complete. So hopefully we will get a chance to build on it for Saturday's deadlinewitnessmenow wrote: »writing that doc would be least favorite thing to do in the whole wide world I think!
