|
- **[Quick Start Guide](/docs/tutorials/getting-started/quick-start-bmgd.md)** - Get started building your first game
|
|
- Installation and setup
|
|
- Understanding the game development phases
|
|
- Running your first workflows
|

## Core Documentation
|
|
|
|
- **[Game Types Guide](/docs/explanation/game-dev/game-types.md)** - Selecting and using game type templates (24 supported types)
|
|
- **[BMGD vs BMM](/docs/explanation/game-dev/bmgd-vs-bmm.md)** - Understanding the differences
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
## Choose Your Path
|
|
|
|
### I need to...
|
|
|
|
**Start a new game project**
|
|
→ Start with [Quick Start Guide](/docs/tutorials/getting-started/quick-start-bmgd.md)
|
|
→ Run `brainstorm-game` for ideation
|
|
→ Create a Game Brief with `create-brief`
|
|
|
|
**Design my game**
|
|
→ Create a GDD with `create-gdd`
|
|
→ If story-heavy, add Narrative Design with `create-narrative`
|
|
|
|
**Plan the technical architecture**
|
|
→ Run `create-architecture` with the Game Architect
|
|
|
|
**Build my game**
|
|
→ Use Phase 4 production workflows
|
|
→ Follow the sprint-based development cycle
|
|
|
|
**Quickly test an idea**
|
|
→ Use [Quick-Flow](/docs/how-to/workflows/bmgd-quick-flow.md) for rapid prototyping
