What is Game Development?
There are many nuances of a Career in Game Development. Almost everyone seems to be talking about How to start a Career in Game Development, while one should first develop an understanding of What is a Career in Game Development. Just like you would normally not trust a non Doctor with names of medicines, you should also not trust opinions about Game Development from non professionals.
With 7 years & 2 months of professional experience, Assistant Professor Pankaj Badoni understands Game Development. Here is how Assistant Professor Pankaj Badoni detailed Game Development:
Game development is the process of creating a video game. The effort is undertaken by a game developer, who may range from a single person to an international team dispersed across the globe. Game programming requires substantial skill in software engineering as well as specialization in one or more of the following areas, which overlap heavily to create a game: simulation, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, physics, audio programming, and input.
