I found my gdd template had a lot of things that didn't apply to my game which made it harder to do. Some of the categories need me to be at a further place in the development. The gdd gives an insight in what I plan for my game. https://www.dundoc.com/project/4836 potential character Source

I was surprised at how simple it was to have the sky and lighting work. It really helps create a mood in the game. I also like how it has a lot of customisation.
