Deus Ex design document

A design document is a description of a game's intended design. Early design documents for Deus Ex (including its early precursors Shooter and Shooter: Majestic Revelations) provide information on the game's development history, as well as cut or prerelease content not present in the final game. Some of the content in later design documents were incorporated into the Deus Ex Bible.

Only two design documents have been made readily available to the public in substantial form. A number of design documents were contributed by Warren Spector to the collections of the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin, but most of the collection has not been publicly released.
