- 23. Framework Setup Data driven “Entity-Component System” oCommonly used techniques in Game Dev o“Entity” just consists of ID number of a GameObject oWhereas “Component” consists of all the data that represent the Entity oMeanwhile “System” handles all the logic and mechanics WIWING@ALKEMISGAMES.COM

- 27. Data Design • Data that construct the entities in the game and it won’t be changed unless the designer want to do it • i.e. Unit base data, Enemy data, Item data, etc. Static data • Data that will be changed very rapidly over the time • i.e. User/Player data, Unit data, Inventory data, etc. Dynamic data WIWING@ALKEMISGAMES.COM

Editor's Notes
- #10: Features: What features do they offer? Are these features needed for the game? Do these features can effectively enhance the development process?
- #11: Technical Support: Do they support multiple platforms? How is the game engine support for the latest OS version? How is the game engine support for the latest technology available? How is the game engine’s creator support?
- #12: Performance: How is the game engine’s general performance? How is the performance on low-end devices? Is it hard to optimize the performance?
- #13: Flexibility: Do they offer modification over the game engine’s core? How easy to modify the game engine’s pipeline according to your needs?
- #14: App Size: How much is the size of the game engine runtime? Can the app size be reduced? Do they offer DLC update?
- #26: Act as the guidance during development Programming Guidelines Art Guidelines Animation Guidelines Create strict but easy to understand guidelines
- #29: Decompose entity into very detailed data Avoid data redundancy
- #32: Understand how the computer works especially in Game Development Processor CPU cache RAM GPU Input / Output Etc.
