If the publisher approves they provide funding and the game creation begins.]]> 2019-05-02 16:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356282098 mariya_krutoy https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356285885 Funding ranges depending on the type of game being developed. For example a game like Flappy Bird could cost about $500 to develop, but a game like GTA 5 could cost over $250 million.]]> 2019-05-02 16:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356285885 mariya_krutoy https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356289008 Creating a game takes a lot of people with a large variety of specialties. People like sound engineers, 2D and 3D artists, voice actors, code programmers, writers, testers and level designers are all needed in order to develop a video game.]]> 2019-05-02 16:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356289008 mariya_krutoy https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356295228 Once production ends, the game needs to be tested. The tester doesn't have as much fun as you'd think because their job involves a lot of repetition. They pretty much do things like move back and fourth over and over again, or jump in the same spot five times, since their job is to search for any mistakes or glitches in the system.]]> 2019-05-02 16:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356295228 mariya_krutoy https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356663893 The development time for a game can go from months to years. Factors that effect the amount of time that it takes to create a game include: Whether the game is in 2D or 3D, whether the game is made by a single developer or an established studio and whether the game tells a story or not.]]> 2019-05-03 16:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/356663893 mariya_krutoy https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/357405214  Next the idea is pitched to the managing body of the developer's studio and if the game idea is approved the developer/s begin pre-production.]]> 2019-05-06 22:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/357405214 mariya_krutoy https://padlet.com/mariya_krutoy/tt7c3oxfkt7z/wish/357406411 After going gold the distribution process begins.
