Core Game Design Template

It's easy to have an idea and let it balloon into something out of your scope.

This fillable PDF template helps you to answer three essential questions to find the core of your game:

• What is the player trying to achieve?
• What is the player's core interaction?
• What creates tension and difficulty?

If you can't answer these clearly, your game may need more focus before you start coding.

Why it helps

• Type directly into the PDF or print and fill by hand
• Saves weeks of confused development
• Makes pitching your game way easier
• Works for any genre
• One page keeps you focused
