I've got a whole bunch of design documents in various stages, from mechanics / theme / gameplay ideas, to polished rules for prototypes. I'm not sure how to refer to this collection of documents. Is there a proper name for it? Design library? Portfolio? Collection?
How do you refer to your designs, when referring to them as a group?
I never had to refer to it. "Archive" could be the right word. Mine are classed in an archive box.
If you're looking for a word, portfolio is probably the most apt for a collection of anything that's in a roughly presentable state.
If you mean everything, notes, raggedy prototypes, etc, I just say "games in various stages of development".
Trash bin! Naw... I just call my old incomplete game designs my incomplete game designs.
In my line of work, Portfolio is generally reserved for your very best pieces. This is the stuff you show people when trying to win them over or get a job.
If it's incomplete... it's not likely ready for my portfolio.
I´m not sure, maybe I would simply call it my work.
My "Drawing Board"
As in "Back to the Drawing Board", even though they are not stored on a board. Not literal.
