About the video: Next steps: high-level documentation and prototyping
Overview
“If we get to the point where we can continue with the project, either because we have obtained funding, or because we have a team willing to work on it, we can get down to work to start the game itself. The next stage of development is preproduction, where we will try to solve all the unknowns that exist before entering production. The normal thing would be to move to what is called the high-level document, and begin to prototype the mechanics. Not always everything we say in the pitch just works and is fun. But nothing happens. It is time to try and iterate.
