Game Development Phases
BMGD follows four phases aligned with game development:
Phase 1: Preproduction
- Brainstorm Game - Ideation with game-specific techniques
- Game Brief - Capture vision, market, and fundamentals
Phase 2: Design
- GDD (Game Design Document) - Comprehensive game design
- Narrative Design - Story, characters, world (for story-driven games)
Phase 3: Technical
- Game Architecture - Engine, systems, patterns, structure
Phase 4: Production
- Sprint Planning - Epic and story management
- Story Development - Implementation workflow
- Code Review - Quality assurance
- Testing - Automated tests, playtesting, performance
- Retrospective - Continuous improvement
