Introducing Scoped — A GDD Tool for Indie Developers

Every game starts with an idea. Scoped gives that idea a place to live.

Scoped is a free, browser-based Game Design Document tool built for indie developers. Write and organise your GDD — story, mechanics, characters, levels, art direction, and more — all from a structured editor that runs entirely in your browser.

Your GDD Stays Private

Like Kuatia, Scoped stores everything locally on your device. No account, no server, no cloud sync. Nothing you write is ever sent anywhere. Close the tab and come back later — it’ll all be there.

Built Around the GDD Structure

Scoped gives you nine dedicated sections to fill out at your own pace:

  • Overview
  • Story & Narrative
  • Characters
  • Gameplay Mechanics
  • Levels & World
  • Art Direction
  • Audio Direction
  • Technical Notes
  • Milestone Plan

Empty sections stay out of the way. Fill in what matters now and come back to the rest.

Export When You’re Ready

When it’s time to share — with a collaborator, a publisher, or just yourself — export your GDD to Markdown, PDF, or JSON backup with one click.
