Video games are all about creativity, connection, and shared experiences. It’s not just about playing games; it’s about bringing together people who share a passion for gaming. There are major events like PAX and E3 where fans meet developers to celebrate their favorite games, as well as local events like Play by Play and NZGDC. Plus, online platforms like Twitch and YouTube let people watch and share gameplay, making it easy to connect with others in the gaming community.

In a Game Design Document (GDD), genre, theme, and audience are key parts that shape the game. The genre indicates what type of game it is, like action or adventure, guiding how it plays. The theme expresses the game's mood or story, such as fantasy or horror, influencing the art and narrative. Knowing the target audience helps developers create content that appeals to the players, ensuring the game connects with those who will play it. Together, these elements provide a clear direction for the game’s development.
