simply doesn't have the time or resources to develop."

"A great structure tool for the
growing video game development needs of today. Video Game
Design Pro is a new standard in design documentation, and
highly recommended for all development projects. VGDP
supplies wizard templates which can help any designer to
adjust their documentation into a professional format. This
program is the new benchmark for development documentation,
and in a growing industry of developers VGDP can help any
company structure their development projects into a
professional and concise format. Video Game Design Pro is
extremely flexible and allows the designer to customize
their game design documentation to their desired needs."

“Video Game
Design Pro is the first step to introduce
software engineering into your game development
process, and it fits well with iterative
development. It provides an easy way to share an
up-to-date document with your clients and your
team, and scale your designs well to different
project sizes. An incredibly useful reminder for
what a design document must describe.”

"Keeping our design
documentation up to date among our crew members has been a
tough task to make time for during the course of busy
development. Even though we've only been using VGDP for a
short while, we can already see where it could be a valuable
tool in assisting with keeping development on track
according to the design vision. We are looking forward to
integrating VGDP as a critical part of our development
process."

"Because VGDP is a game-specific
content management system, with questions and
explanations of each component of game design, it is
able to show and then explain components of game
design and their relationship to each other. While
wikis and blogs are useful, neither are inherently
appropriate for game development. Video Game
Design Pro is more useful because it's designed with
current game design constraints in mind."

Video Game Design Pro contains everything a designer
needs to create and maintain a professional design
document. It has a wide range of features allowing a
designer to generate the text, add illustrations and
diagrams, create flowcharts and storyboards, spell
check the manuscript and share the final
document with the rest of the production team. One
handy feature is the program's ability to modify a
document's contents by adding and removing sections
from the manuscript as required for various game
genres. It is as complete as a designer could dream
for and also is quite reasonably priced. |
