I haven't had a chance to look through it yet, but I will definitely read it when I have the time.

Post anything interesting you see Smiley

This just made my life.

I love the Winston Churchill quote at the bottom of the first page:

"This report, by its very length, defends itself against being read."

Manbabies have not yet reached the crucial stage of mental development which allows them to post design documents.

Also, I want to read this, but I have still not yet played Grim Fandango and I'm worried this would ruin it.

DO NOT READ IT. It's basically a walkthrough.

real art looks like the mona lisa or a halo poster and is about being old or having your wife die and sometimes the level goes in reverse

I played Grim Fandango years ago. I got stuck after going to the place where lots of people died, you know

I was probably too young / not used to point&click-logic.  Cry

It might help to save it and then open outside of the browser?  For me that solves a lot of problems.

I'm pretty sure at some point I just started using a walkthrough ...

No, try this!

By the way, do you know of any more professional game design documents? I started a thread for collecting those on another forum..

It doesn't work for me. I get the double fine website, but with nothing underneath the banner at the top.
