I haven't really written one those before ops:
Perhaps that's the reason I haven't finished many of my games lately :think:
Well if you want the full answer I recommend Jeremy's article 'Project Design and Documentation' in the Articles section.

However if you just want to know what the stage goal requires then:

Goal 1: Submit a Game Design Document including; 2+ chosen genre categories (with at least 2 or more colors selected), title or 'working title' and platforms you plan to target for your entry. -- 20 Points
- Write which 2 genres you are deciding to use. (Following the color coding rules)
- The Title of your game or the working title if you can't think of a good one yet.
- List the platforms you intend to port your game to by the end of the competition.

Thats it. Put those in your document and consider your stage goal complete. Of course I'm sure you'll want to write a bit about your ideas in it. Thats fine too.
