Game development is a hybrid field, drawing from computer science, mathematics, and production. The jobs with development studios available to game development graduates are similarly diverse.
So, What is game development?
Generally speaking, video game development is the field that spans the entirety of the many aspects involved in creating a video game, from conception and storyline to graphic design, programming, and public release.
Video game development is a field with many sub-disciplines and responsibilities drawing from game production and game design, some roles on a development team are:
·Game producer
·Game artist
·Programmer
·Graphic designer
·Creative writer
·Storyline editor
·Audio specialist
·Level designer
Your tasks in this assignment will be to create a Google Docs with the following elements:
Editing G.D.D Template ·
Plan Development ·
Write a game story
Why am I learning about making games? Because game development moves the technological world. Every advancement of computers today has incorporated game technologies into its structure. In fact, Gamification is something that every college(two-year and four-year) has incorporated into their curriculum and course design. Doctors around the world even use games to learn how to operate. In fact, they took the same game the doctors were using and tested it out on high school students. While the students did not know they were actually performing operations, 75% of the students learned to operate faster than trained professionals.
Code is everywhere, and games personify human activity with code. A mother of 3 wanted to give her kids something to do during the summer months, so she used PowerPoint to create a card game for her kids to play. She eventually presented the game to the school; now, every child plays the game during class. This is just one example of how regular people use code wherever they need it and succeed without any real formal education in the subject. Code is everyone, and children are learning to code. That means if you don't understand games and code, you do not understand this world. To ensure your education is complete, we must address the need to understand this world of code, games, and collaboration.
What is a G.D.D.:
A Game Development (or Design) Document
A game design document (often abbreviated G.D.D.) is a highly descriptive living software design document of the design for a video game. A GDD is created and edited by the development team, primarily used in the video game industry to organize efforts within a development team. The document is created by the development team as a result of collaboration between their designers, artists, and programmers as a guiding vision used throughout the game development process. In this assignment, you will prepare to make a game by downloading the G.D.D. template and filling it out with your game's information. You are not required to complete the G.D.D. from start to finish, just up to a particular point detailed in the requirements. Keep in mind that a G.D.D. is a living document that can change at any time; you should add things you want your game to be, not simply what you're able to do.
Don't worry; everything is explained in each video tutorial.
