The Videogame Development Process

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to research and inform the average person of the video game development process from the perspectives of big/triple-A companies, indie/small companies, and individual developers. Additionally, I've created my own video game using Unity and Blender Software, described detailed steps, as well as compared my personal experience of game development to the above cases. The research of this topic is important because these experiences of the game development processes can ultimately help gain a better understanding of what it takes to make a game from an intermediate to a professional perspective. In hindsight, what does it take to make a game? How do these companies/developers make theirs? And how does my own game and its process compare to them?
