+      - Every shipped bug is a process failure, not a people failure

+# BMGD Documentation
+
+Complete guides for the BMad Game Development Module (BMGD) - AI-powered workflows for game design and development that adapt to your project's needs.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+**New to BMGD?** Start here:
+
+- **[Quick Start Guide](./quick-start.md)** - Get started building your first game
+  - Installation and setup
+  - Understanding the game development phases
+  - Running your first workflows
+  - Agent-based development flow
+
+**Quick Path:** Install BMGD module → Game Brief → GDD → Architecture → Build
+
+---
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+Understanding how BMGD works:
+
+- **[Agents Guide](./agents-guide.md)** - Complete reference for game development agents
+  - Game Designer, Game Developer, Game Architect, Game Scrum Master, Game QA, Game Solo Dev
+  - Agent roles and when to use them
+  - Agent workflows and menus
+
+- **[Workflows Guide](./workflows-guide.md)** - Complete workflow reference
+  - Phase 1: Preproduction (Brainstorm, Game Brief)
+  - Phase 2: Design (GDD, Narrative)
+  - Phase 3: Technical (Architecture)
+  - Phase 4: Production (Sprint-based development)
+
+- **[Game Types Guide](./game-types-guide.md)** - Selecting and using game type templates
+  - 24 supported game types
+  - Genre-specific GDD sections
+  - Hybrid game type handling
+
+- **[Quick-Flow Guide](./quick-flow-guide.md)** - Fast-track workflows for rapid development
+  - Quick-Prototype for testing ideas
+  - Quick-Dev for flexible implementation
+  - When to use quick-flow vs full BMGD
+
+---
+
+## Quick References
+
+Essential reference materials:
+
+- **[Glossary](./glossary.md)** - Key game development terminology
+- **[Troubleshooting](./troubleshooting.md)** - Common issues and solutions
+
+---
+
+## Choose Your Path
+
+### I need to...
+
+**Start a new game project**
+→ Start with [Quick Start Guide](./quick-start.md)
+→ Run `brainstorm-game` for ideation
+→ Create a Game Brief with `create-brief`
+
+**Design my game**
+→ Create a GDD with `create-gdd`
+→ If story-heavy, add Narrative Design with `create-narrative`
+
+**Plan the technical architecture**
+→ Run `create-architecture` with the Game Architect
+
+**Build my game**
+→ Use Phase 4 production workflows
+→ Follow the sprint-based development cycle
+
+**Quickly test an idea or implement a feature**
+→ Use [Quick-Flow](./quick-flow-guide.md) for rapid prototyping and development
+→ `quick-prototype` to test mechanics, `quick-dev` to implement
+
+**Set up testing and QA**
+→ Use Game QA agent for test framework setup
+→ Run `test-framework` to initialize testing for Unity/Unreal/Godot
+→ Use `test-design` to create test scenarios
+→ Plan playtests with `playtest-plan`
+
+**Understand game type templates**
+→ See [Game Types Guide](./game-types-guide.md)
+
+---
+
+## Game Development Phases
+
+BMGD follows four phases aligned with game development:
+
+![BMGD Workflow Overview](./workflow-overview.jpg)
+
+### Phase 1: Preproduction
+
+- **Brainstorm Game** - Ideation with game-specific techniques
+- **Game Brief** - Capture vision, market, and fundamentals
+
+### Phase 2: Design
+
+- **GDD (Game Design Document)** - Comprehensive game design
+- **Narrative Design** - Story, characters, world (for story-driven games)
+
+### Phase 3: Technical
+
+- **Game Architecture** - Engine, systems, patterns, structure
+
+### Phase 4: Production
+
+- **Sprint Planning** - Epic and story management
+- **Story Development** - Implementation workflow
+- **Code Review** - Quality assurance
+- **Testing** - Automated tests, playtesting, performance
+- **Retrospective** - Continuous improvement
+

+
+## BMGD vs BMM
+
+BMGD extends BMM with game-specific capabilities:
+
+| Aspect         | BMM                                   | BMGD                                                                     |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **Focus**      | General software                      | Game development                                                         |
+| **Agents**     | PM, Architect, Dev, SM, TEA, Solo Dev | Game Designer, Game Dev, Game Architect, Game SM, Game QA, Game Solo Dev |
+| **Planning**   | PRD, Tech Spec                        | Game Brief, GDD                                                          |
+| **Types**      | N/A                                   | 24 game type templates                                                   |
+| **Narrative**  | N/A                                   | Full narrative workflow                                                  |
+| **Testing**    | Web-focused testarch                  | Engine-specific (Unity, Unreal, Godot)                                   |
+| **Production** | Inherited from BMM                    | BMM workflows with game overrides                                        |
+
+BMGD production workflows inherit from BMM and add game-specific checklists and templates.
