Document Summary
This unit aims to teach students of the people involved in the game development process as well as the technology involved. Additionally, business and budgeting processes for starting a game project will be covered. Video-game developers are constantly pushing the envelope for what current technology can achieve, more so than other forms of media. This is very evident in video-games such as crysis. Game development proves to be more difficult than other types of development, due to the collaboration of both creative and technical people. Furthermore, there aren"t straight- forward rules and guidelines to creating a video-game, which creates more of a problem. Another wicked problem is that while game developers are trying to create fun for the player, the notion of fun is something that develops, moves and changes all the time. For example, the recent over-saturation of first person. Shooters has caused many gamers to grow tired of a genre that was once deemed fun .
