GDD Editor

Overview​

Drafft's GDD Editor provides a centralized location to write, organize, and maintain your game design documentation. Write naturally in Markdown while maintaining clean, portable files that can be linked together and exported to JSON.

How It Works​

  • Markdown Foundation: Write naturally with full Markdown support while maintaining clean, portable files
  • Smart Document Linking: Easily reference actors, scripts, and dialogues with [[wiki-style links]]
  • Tree Structure Organization: Navigate your game design like a file system with drag-and-drop sorting
  • Media Management: Embed images, videos, and audio files directly in your documents

Why You'll Love It​

  • Developer-Friendly: Content saves as plain Markdown that optionally exports cleanly to JSON
  • Centralized Design Hub: Keep all game documentation in one searchable, organized location
  • Visual Context: Preview linked documents and embedded media without leaving the editor

Use Cases​

Drafft's GDD Editor is perfect for:

  • Game design documents
  • Character bios and profiles
  • Worldbuilding bibles
  • Technical specifications
  • Narrative design documentation

Structured Yet Flexible​

Maintain relationships between design elements while keeping everything human-readable. The tree structure visualization mirrors your project's architecture, and exports maintain folder structure in JSON format.
