Game Design Document

I decided to make my Game Design Document on Dundoc. This was a new software for me as I have never used it before and I just couldn't get it to really work and do what I wanted it to do. I went through all the heading and filled in what I felt was right. Some of the heading had nothing to do with my project, so I removed them from the document.

I started by doing what I thought was right and created this (above screenshot). Once I had finished, nothing would come up for me when I clicked the site link. This was really frustrating for me, as it took me a long time to do all this. I then did what I could to get the text to appear, which resulted in this.

For some reason, when I was typing the text into each box, it required a title. This was really annoying because I didn't know what to do and was pretty much forced into having two titles for each section. This is why under "Game Introduction", it says "Introduction" and under "Story", there's a smaller "Story" heading. I tried to fix this for ages but couldn't find a solution. I will eventually change it when I find this solution. 

I used Miro to create my gameplay flowchart.

This is my GDD link. I plan to make further changes to my Dundoc document as I move through the development of my game.
