Questions tagged [game-development]

Questions directly related to programming computer gaming and interactive graphics/video. Questions involving game logic or general game development (which are off-topic here) should be asked at https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/

Game development is the software development process by which a video game is produced. Games are developed as a creative outlet and to generate profit. Development is normally funded by a publisher. Well-made games bring profit more readily. However, it is important to estimate a game's financial requirements, such as development costs of individual features. Failing to provide clear implications of game's expectations may result in exceeding allocated budget. In fact, the majority of commercial games do not produce profit. Most developers cannot afford changing development schedule and require estimating their capabilities with available resources before production.
