Game development is a hybrid field, drawing from the fields of computer science, mathematics, and production. As such, the jobs with development studios that are 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 both game production and game design, but what are the roles on a development team?

• Game producer

• Game artist

• Programmer

• Graphic designer

• Creative writer

• Storyline editor

• Audio specialist

• Level designer

Students studying video game development will become familiar with both the overall process of creating a video game and game production, as well as the particular elements of software engineering, programming, and graphic design utilized in the actual construction of the video game.

  BREAK OUT 

This independent study assignment. You must manage your time appropriately to ensure you have time to complete all the tasks.

In this assignment, your team will create a GDD (Game Development Document)for your next simple game. Remember, a GDD is what your team would like the game to become. It is a living document and can be changed at any time depending on new ideas or other circumstances. Everything in the GDD may not be how the game turns out but will have the fundamental mechanics as described in the GDD.

The Documentation

This part is a group assignment. Complete the following steps:

1. Form a group: This can be a group of students in your class or people you recruited from other classes.

2. Review the Break Out video tutorials to see the type of game you will be creating.

3. Develop the story that will drive the ideas and images of your game.

4. You may alter any aspect of your completed game based on the tutorials.
