INTRODUCTION
Game development can be defined as the designing of a game digitally by developing the
programming codes and software in order to function and operate the game successfully. There
are various types of games available for gamers to play such as sport games. Action games,
adventure games, arcade games, shooting games, puzzle games and many more (Dimitriadou,
Djafarova, Turetken and Ferworn, 2020). The following discussion is based on the designing and
development of the games which includes several other tasks to study about in order to
successful development of the game such as roles and responsibilities of design and development
of the video game, game design theories and practices to engage player and play time, principles
of story, character and game play in the development, concept and features of the proposed video
game, game development process, presentation of the game development plan to the audiences,
producing the functioning video game prototype and industry related tools to manage the game
development life cycle with proper findings and conclusion.
MAIN BODY
Task 1
Roles of design and development of video games
Design
It is an important role to develop the game that is it's designing, many specialist are
involved in this process such as 3D artist, texture artist, animators and many more as per the
needs and requirements of the game specifications, functioning and features.
Programming
It is an essential role to develop the game that is it's programming and coding, many
specialist are involved in this process such as artificial intelligence programmers, user interface
programmers, network programmers and many more as per the needs and requirements of the
game development process.
Audio (sound effects, voice overs, music)
It is a necessary role to develop the game that is it's audio and sounds, many specialist are
involved in this process such as sound effects people, voice overs people, music people and
many more as per the needs and requirements of the game characteristics.
