What is Game Developer ?

“A person who solves the problem of how to make a

game”

What skills do Game

Developers

Need? “The skills a developer needs really depends

on what kind of job the developer plans on

seeking”

TECHNICAL SKILLS

Design Art

Game Artists are the developers that create the project’s

visual elements.

Game Designers are the developers that

keep the team on track with the project’s vision

Programmin

They program

g

systems to get everything working

as well as to help designers build

content faster

Marketing

Knowing how to market will help you talk about your game, know what to focus on when promoting your,

and get your game sold to more gamers

How do we

Get Started?

01 Specialize

it is important you pick the right specialization so that you can focus on learning a particular skill set and become more valuable to teams

02 ^Learn

Starting to create early will help you learn what skills you need to learn

03 ^Showcase

It’s important to remember while you learn to record your ccomplishments.

Building a portfolio using your videos and images will allow you to

showcase your work in a central location.

04 Promote & Socialize

Always be promoting your work on social media and on your website. By promoting your work, you’ll be able to show more people what you’re able to do.

Tricks

05 ^Create

You should be constantly focused on improving your quality of work and being able to make “good” work faster. Consistently creating is one of the best ways to make sure your skills keep improving.

06 ^{Promote !}

Again, at the end of the day, you’re a

creator, but you do want to be a creator that people know. Focus on your work,

constantly create, and never stop promoting

Game

Development

Process

Pre Production

Conceptualizatio n

Early part of the process where you make

the decisions that you have to live with for the rest of

the project. Such as : Selecting genre, Target user,

game description, ideation

Resourcing

Any kind of physical or mental resource that can be invested

to a game making process.

Engine Selection

Three of the most popular free game

engines which currently are: Unreal

Engine,

Unity and

GameMaker

Pre Production

Game Design Document

Developers and especially game designers do need documents in order to tell others about

their design

Determine your role

The gaming industry has many types of jobs that become more and more specified the bigger the companies and projects are, which makes it not necessary to go through all

of the roles but the roles that are most essential in

terms of the case study section coming later in this

thesis

Prototyping

Prototyping is a very essential part of good

game design and it allows to create a working model of the

conceptualized game and allows you test it feasibility easily. Game

prototypes are playable, but the early prototypes only include

very basic features, artwork, sound and

effects

Production

Development Methods

Development methods are crucial part of project success and also in game development and not only in regular software development where these

development methods were first adopted and implemented to game development

Ending Production Production should be planned well, but what has been

presented shows that is should not be planned too tightly and room needs

to be persevered for dealing with upcoming problems. Once the

production is at its end, the game should have the right focus,

all the necessary features locked and should be ready for final

polish

Post Production

Testing

Quality assurance is a critical part of the game development and then of course the best way to test it, is to play it until it is as solid and fun as

you know how to make it

Marketing

Marketing should be started as soon as possible during pre- production and then

continuing throughout the project. One of the most important parts

of marketing is creating a great trailer for the game

Post Release

The work never really ends even though the

game has been released teams monitor the user feedback after

the games release and fixes any glaring bugs that heavily affect the

gameplay
