About

We're Dan and Mike, and we're Design Doc! We make video essays on game design. Our videos are crosscuts that point out all the little details that add up to make amazing games. We pick a topic, and we see what we can dig up from all corners of the gaming world - from RPGs to Puzzle, from retro to modern, from AAA to indie. There's a lot out there to learn from.
