I’ve been there…

As a game developer and studio founder, I know how chaotic short dev cycles can get.

You’ve got a limited time window.
Everyone’s juggling tasks.
Documentation gets messy—or worse, forgotten.
And worst of all: your creativity suffers.

That’s exactly why I built this template—for me and my team to survive Game Jams and ensure our games were shipped according to the deadline.

Now I’m sharing it with you.

Your ready-to-go workspace

You don’t need to build anything from scratch—this template gives you everything you need to hit the ground running:

✅ Team Overview – Know who’s doing what, fast.
✅ Game Design Document – Focus your vision in one place.
✅ Core Tasks – Preloaded with common steps (find your idea, define the scope, playtest, publish).
✅ Flexible Task Tracker – Organize your work in Kanban, calendar, timeline, or list view.
✅ Notes + Docs Hub – Keep your creative sparks and references at hand.
✅ Archive System - Provided buttons, logs, and dedicated views to keep the main page clean.

It's built into Notion, so you can customize it freely, and yes, it works on the free plan!

Make the most of your GameDev challenge

This template isn’t bloated—it’s focused.
It gives you just enough structure to stay productive, without getting in your way.
