I''ve read somewhere in this forum and, as a new guy in this business, what in the world is it and how do i write one?

DesignDocument, if you break the word down into 2 words, you get "Design Document"

you design a game or any project for that matter.... well all the design information goes into a document.

to write one, you get some paper and a pen, or open word/notepad/[text editor of choice] and write all the design information down.

the final product is a document

That was brilliant bezzant *yeesh*.

Here''s what I have to say about game design documents, here''s what GDNet has to say about them. Enjoy.
