Stages of Game Development: How Video Games Are Created?

There’s a lot that goes into making a video game. But before we can get to the development process, we want to make sure you know exactly what goes into making an actual game. So with that in mind, let’s take some time to talk about the various stages of game development.

Pre-Production

Pre-production is the process of planning and creating a game before any code is written. It includes the development of a game’s design document, concept art, and storyboards. As well as creating an early prototype of your game that you can play around with to test out different ideas before committing them to code.

While it may sound like a simple process, game design takes a lot of time and consideration. You’ll need to create a detailed design document that lays out all of your game’s features and mechanics, as well as any art assets you need.

It’s a good idea to create a prototype so that you can see how everything works together before committing it all to code. A prototype doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to give you an idea of what your game will look like when it’s finished. You should also test out different ideas by playing around with the prototype and seeing which ones work best.

Game design is also a collaborative process. You’ll need to work with other people on your team, like programmers and artists, to make sure that everyone’s ideas are taken into account when creating the final product. This means making sure that everyone understands what their responsibilities are and how they will fit in with everything else.

Production

Production is the creation of a video game. It starts after pre-production and ends before post-production, which is the last phase of game development. Production involves all aspects of game development, including design, art, animation, and audio production.

Most people think that the creative process stops once you’ve made it into production – but this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, you’ll find yourself taking on even more responsibility during this stage as you work with your team to create content that meets expectations while staying within budget constraints (more on budgets later).

The most important thing to remember when making a video game is that it’s not just about what you make, but how you make it. A lot of companies will focus on producing a product that looks good and plays well, but not many consider how much time and effort goes into creating content. It’s often said that game development is as much about art as science.

The key to making a successful video game is to understand how the different parts of production fit together. You want to be able to see how each part affects another and what you can do to improve upon it.

Post-Production

Post-production is the process of creating a game after the initial development has been completed. It can be thought of as the final stage in game development, where all of your hard work comes together and you get to see what it looks like when it’s finished.

Post-production includes testing and polishing your game, which are two very important parts of making sure that everything works correctly before releasing it out into the world. You’ll want to make sure that any bugs or glitches have been fixed before putting out your product so players don’t experience them while playing.

The Reliable Pipeline

The pipeline is the system for getting the game to the customer. It includes every step of development, from concept to release. The pipeline should be reliable and predictable so that you can plan ahead and avoid surprises along the way.

The first stage of game development is concepts, where you come up with ideas for games, this is where your imagination comes into play! Next is designing, which involves creating a blueprint or storyboard based on your concept; this helps determine how many people will work on each part of developing the game (such as writing), as well as how long it will take them to complete their work before moving onto another task in order to stay on schedule with deadlines set by publishers/developers who want their products out faster rather than later so there isn’t lost revenue due delays from unexpected problems like illness or low productivity caused by poor morale among employees due lackadaisical management practices…

Video game creation is a process that starts at a high level and continues until the game is ready to be distributed.

Video game creation is a process that starts at a high level and continues until the game is ready to be distributed. It involves many different stages, phases and can take years to complete.

The first step in creating a video game is designing it on paper or in some other form so that you have an idea of what you want your final product to look like when it’s finished. In this stage, you’ll have an idea of what characters will appear in your game as well as their personalities and motivations for taking part in its events (if any). You’ll also need to decide on how players will interact with these characters through dialogue trees or other means of communication such as text messages between friends on mobile phones.

Once your storyboard has been finalized then we move onto pre-production where assets like character models are created based on those designs along with environments too if necessary (like indoor vs outdoor). These assets are then used during production so everything looks consistent across all platforms I’m targeting which could mean PC/Mac computers but also consoles like PlayStation 4s or Xbox Ones depending upon whether I’m making action-adventure titles versus role-playing ones.
