Tiny GameDev Organizer

🎮 Launch your game project —with clarity.

Whether you're diving into a Game Jam, starting your first solo project, or working on a tight student deadline—this Notion template keeps your head clear and your team on track.

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 make sure our games got shipped, not shelved.

Now I’m sharing it with you.

Your ready-to-go Game Jam 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 Game Jam milestones (find your idea, define the scope, playtest, publish).
✅ Flexible Task Tracker – Organize your work in Kanban, calendar or list view.
✅ Notes + Docs Hub – Keep your creative sparks and references at hand.

Built in Notion, so you can customize it freely, and yes—it works on the free plan!

Make the most of your 48h challenge

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

It’s perfect for:

🎯 Game Jams (like Global Game Jam, Ludum Dare…)
🎮 Solo developers needing a lightweight process
📚 Game dev students working on class projects
🤝 Small teams needing quick coordination

Why use this instead of a blank Notion page?

Because when the clock is ticking, you don’t have time to figure out your process.

This template gives you:

🧭 Clear priorities
🧰 A battle-tested structure

It’s the free version of the Ultimate GameDev Organizer—designed to help you ship, even in extreme dev conditions.
