Video game development is the process of creating video games, which can range from one person to a large team of developers. Mainstream games typically take several years to develop with teams of 20-100 people working in roles like designer, artist, programmer, tester, and producer. Indie and mobile games can be developed more quickly and cheaply by individuals or small teams. The size and complexity of development teams has increased over time due to advancing technology and rising costs of games.
What is game development
- 1. What Is Game Development?
- 2. Pre-Production :: 1.Documentation 2.Proof of concept
- 3. Video game development is the process of creating a video game. Development is undertaken by a game developer. which may range from one person to a large business Traditional commercial PC and console games are normally funded by a publisher and take several years to develop
- 4. Indie games can take less time and can be produced cheaply by individuals and small developers The indie game industry has seen a rise in recent years with the growth of new online Distribution systems and the mobile game market
- 5. History Of Video Games The first video games were developed in the 1950s, but required mainframe computers and were not available to the general public. Commercial game development began in the 1970s with the advent of first generation video game consoles and home computers. Due to low costs and low capabilities of computers, a lone programmer could develop a full game
- 6. 21st century ever-increasing computer processing power and heightened consumer expectations made it difficult for a single developer to produce a mainstream console or PC game The average price of producing a video game slowly rose from US$1–4 million in 2000 to over $5 million in 2006, then to over $20 million by 2010
- 7. Mainstream PC and console games are generally developed in phases. First, in pre- production, pitches, prototypes, and game design documents are written
- 8. Idea If the idea is approved and the developer receives funding, a full- scale development begins. This usually involves a 20–100 person team of various responsibilities, such as designers, artists, programmers, testers, etc.
- 9. Mobile games in general, much quicker to develop than the mainstream PC and console games. Usually mobile games are published as early as possible, often after five months of development, in order to see how they perform. mobile games can still be developed by a lone developer. However, the largest game studios can have up to 100 people working for a single project.
- 11. Development team Developers can range in size from small groups making casual games to housing hundreds of employees and producing several large titles. The development team consists of several members. Team size can vary from 20 to 100 or more members, depending on the game's scope. The most represented are artists, followed by programmers, then designers, and finally, audio specialists. An entry-level programmer can make, on average, around $70,000 annually and an experienced programmer can make, on average, around $125,000 annually.
- 12. Designer A game designer is a person who designs gameplay, conceiving and designing the rules and structure of a game. Development teams usually have a lead designer who coordinates the work of other designers. One of the roles of a designer is being a writer, often employed part-time to conceive game's narrative, dialogue, commentary, cut scene narrative, journals, video game packaging content, hint system, etc.
- 13. Artist Artists sometimes occupy both roles. 3D artists may produce models or meshes, animation, 3D environment, and cinematics. The artist's job may be 2D oriented or 3D oriented. 2D artists may produce concept art, sprites, textures, environmental backdrops or terrain images, and user interface. The art director manages the art team, scheduling and coordinating within the development team. A game artist is a visual artist who creates video game art.
- 14. Programmer A game programmer is a software engineer who primarily develops video games or related software (such as game development tools). The game's codebase development is handled by programmers. Physics – the programming of the game engine, including simulating physics, collision, object movement, etc.; AI – producing computer agents using game AI techniques, such as scripting, planning, rule- based decisions, etc. Graphics – the managing of graphical content utilization and memory considerations; the production of graphics engine, integration of models, textures to work along the physics engine. Sound – integration of music, speech, effect sounds into the proper locations and times.
- 15. Programmer Gameplay – implementation of various games rules and features (sometimes called a generalist); Scripting – development and maintenance of high-level command system for various in-game tasks, such as AI, level editor triggers, etc. UI – production of user interface elements, like option menus, HUDs, help and feedback systems, etc. Input processing – processing and compatibility correlation of various input devices, such as keyboard, mouse, gamepad, etc. Network communications – the managing of data inputs and outputs for local and internet gameplay. Game tools – the production of tools to accompany the development of the game, especially for designers and scripters.
- 16. Level designer A level designer is a person who creates levels, challenges or missions for computer and/or video games using a specific set of programs. These programs may be commonly available commercial 3D or 2D design programs, or specially designed and tailored level editors made for a specific game.
- 17. Sound engineer Sound engineers are technical professionals responsible for sound effects and sound positioning. They sometimes oversee voice acting and other sound asset creation. Composers who create a game's musical score also comprise a game's sound team, though often this work is outsourced.
- 18. Tester == Producer The quality assurance is carried out by game testers. A game tester analyzes video games to document software defects as part of a quality control. Testing is a highly technical field requiring computing expertise, and analytic competence. The testers ensure that the game falls within the proposed design: it both works and is entertaining.
