#rainbows.

I have to create a prototype game that demonstrates the core mechanics and feeling before being handed off to the necessary disciplines for the next stage of development. (However the next stage is not happening or is it........).

For this project i have written up a new GDD, and a small scope document. I’ve done a GDD before and that time it blew out of proportion like crazy, i wasn't going to make the same mistake twice. Previously my GDD was 56 pages long and had a lot of content, on this GDD it is 21 pages and lots of them are pictures. 

The game is a 2D vertical scroller where you jump from platform to platform, for as long as you can. Nothing original i know, but considering my coding skills are not that great and i am just learning i thought it would be best to scope appropriately. Oh and the best part you are a unicorn jumping on clouds, along a rainbow. woo woo.

In the past with other projects i have been able to scope well, especially on my previous project, where a team and myself built a level from scratch. This project will be no exception. Overall i have allowed for 56hrs in total for the project, whilst having a decent amount of variety within the game i.e different platforms, time for polish and time for testing a debugging.
