How an independent game developer works?

04/18/2022Christine Pitts

A video game developer is a software developer who does not often have enough time to properly complete tasks required for big projects. It’s essential for them because of perfectionism to have someone take care of things so they can focus on developing games. Most game developers work as individual entrepreneurs. This means that each person is responsible for coming up with the ideas and working on the associated tasks necessary for their part of the project; this can include programming, design, art, etc. They may have full time jobs and do the games for their hobby, which some learned…

How to become a game developer from scratch?

However, the truth is that these companies rarely take risks and release something new. Most of their games are released yearly and follow the same formula month after month. They don’t provide anything innovative or unusual for us, since they’re release another “Assassin’s Creed” or “Grand Theft Auto.” Yes, these games have fleeting moments of brilliance and originality, but for the most part, a lot of developers in this genre are actually struggling to make anything new.

At the CBT stage, the product is first demonstrated to a sufficiently wide audience, although loyal to the product or company.

Testing is going on a test plan, conducted stress tests with the involvement of real players.

An important stage in the design of any game is prototyping. What looks good “on paper” will not necessarily be interesting in reality. A prototype is implemented to evaluate the basic gameplay, to test various hypotheses, to test game mechanics, and to test key technical points. It is very important at the prototyping stage to implement only what needs to be tested and within a short time frame. The prototype must be easy to implement, because once the goals set for it have been achieved, it must be “thrown away”. A serious mistake for novice developers is to carry the…

In this first step, the team comes up with the concept of the game, and conducts the initial work on the game design. The main goal of this stage is the game designer’s documentation, which includes a Vision (a detailed document describing the game as a final business product) and Concept Document (the initial elaboration of all aspects of the game). In the product documentation, the game designer formulates and stores his or her ideas. The product documentation allows the tester to properly understand his tasks to implement the product. The tester clearly sees what to test and how to…
