documentation workflow on jungle dunk
The documentation on Jungle Dunk is interesting because we completely changed our way of thinking it during the preproduction.
​
When we started, the idea was to make a wiki for the game and to have every detailed aspects of the game in it as a GDD. But this was not efficient. This way of processing was very time consumming and as the game changed more and more, a lot of sections were quickly obsolete.
​
Instead of that fixed GDD carved in marble, we opted for an approach based on "The next things to implement" we called "Gameplay Blocks".
​
Each Block of Gameplay is a thing to implement, either a feature to add, to update or to remove. With this way of doing, people in the team knows precisely what to do next without having to scan a big document that they don't want to read and where the obsolescence of information can be ambiguous.
​
At least for this project, this workflow of documentation is fluid and works perfectly well.
