Using a Game Design Document | BenderWaffles Teaches RPG Maker Tutorial HOW TO #2 Guide VX MV MZ

[@ZahnGamingx]

Ty for making these! I just bought rpgmaker and i'm a complete noob so imma binge all your videos 😆

[@jamiemorrison2389]

Thank you so much for the excellent video. I am 49 years old and am about to create my first RPG maker game. I have lots of ideas, but this is surely an excellent way of putting those ideas into a coherent design. I would not have been able to do that otherwise. Keep up the great work, you are one of the best game design content creators on KZbin.

[@BenderWaffles]

That is so awesome to hear! Good luck!

[@Noah-uj7zp]

great video. when developing any game, a game design document is definitely a must if you want to stay on track.

[@karsoncolt1866]

you all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

[@briantrenton967]

@Karson Colt Instablaster :)

[@karsoncolt1866]

@Brian Trenton Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@karsoncolt1866]

@Brian Trenton it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out!

[@briantrenton967]

@Karson Colt happy to help :)

Thanks for this. Not gonna lie, I have been a project manager using Scrum, Waterfall, and Agile and the documentation is the part I dislike the most. I understand the need, but it doesn’t change how much I dislike it. Thankfully, since I am doing this for pleasure by myself, I only have to document as much as I need to so I don’t forget and I have a clear path forward. I do recommend that for people like me, that you don’t go crazy on formatting or detail and not to stress about your design document being perfect. You can develop it as you go. Thanks for this tutorials!

Thank you so much for this video! This really puts some "meat" onto the "bones" of a game I'm currently trying to design! I'm currently using the scrum method for project management. While the mechanics were there to handle concepts like this, it's nice to see sort of a template for what kind of tasks are typical for a JRPG game development flow!

[@dard1515]

Took me a couple of hours before I found your tutorial. The first one with some actually bearable audio so I'm not distracted from what you're saying. Thank you for the content, can't wait to put it to good use.

[@BenderWaffles]

The Dard That's the dream; to be the one that doesn't t have shit audio :p Glad you liked it! hope you enjoy the rest of them as well! :)

[@dard1515]

I hope I can make a decent game by the end

[@BenderWaffles]

The Dard If you do, feel free to share it with me!@benderwaffles on twitter! I love seeing what people make after watching my tutorials. :)

[@Gabbafoo]

I recommend a Version-number right on the first page. It is a living document (as you said) and therefore you need to know if you are looking on the most recent or an old one.

[@BenderWaffles]

+Gabbafoo Great suggestion!

[@Gabbafoo]

Glad you like it :). I was looking for inspiration (currently giving my document a bit more meat.... or at least trying to) and saw your video - good stuff.

[@BenderWaffles]

Gabbafoo Thanks for watching!

[@Jovak_art]

Great tips! I was always stuck at how to start off my game developing! Thanks John!

[@jagfeldown2332]

[@BenderWaffles]

Szymon Saletnik Thanks for watching!

[@mibotv7573]

Great information! I used a mailing envelope to write things down because I wanted to get it written before I forgot what I wanted to do but now I need to transfer it. ^-^

[@ra5332]

It was amazing tutorial. Thanks.

[@BenderWaffles]

yaya pr glad to help :)

[@Mogamett]

Great video, this definitely helped me figure out what to do for my game!

[@sweetlevel]

Thank for Game Design Document @BenderWaffles

[@BenderWaffles]

sweet level No problemo!

[@DonaldSimsProduction]

Am I just too much of a newbie or did I miss where you are inserting the cast? And thank you for publishing this series.

[@thelowendstudio]

Thank you!

[@nikoholtslander5854]

I use LibreOffice to make documents and i made my battle system like Mother 2 (EARTHBOUND)

[@penguin0id]

Very informative, but the download link for the example document doesn't work anymore. Any chance you could update it?

[@ATigerShark]

I understand this video is old, but I'm going to chance it and ask. If events take place before the start of the game, should they be in the summary before or after the starting point?

[@BenderWaffles]

I'm confused by what you are asking...

[@ATigerShark]

@@BenderWaffles An example would be if the protagonist suffered from amnesia and the game was about figuring out what happened to them. Would the summary start at the events that lead to the character losing their memories or where the gameplay starts? I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to a comment on a seven year old video.
