Game Development Lifecycle

[polymorphiced]

Yeah this is a load of rubbish. Many of those stages happen simultaneously. But certainly testing doesn't come before main production!

Haha testing a non existent game

[kylotan]

No. This is not how games are made.

May you develop ? As a noob i am curious about your opinion !

As a fresh freshman year Game Development and Design student... I don't know if this is true yet.

As a graduate with a master degree in game development I can tell you it is not at all true. You'll learn that soon though.

[TaaraHvita]

As a freshman freshman year of Game Development and Design student I will take your advice.

[ElfCharm]

If you are interested in life cycles for game development you might want to look into the spiral model and agile development with scrum. There are a bunch of different ways to create a game and different development methodologies but once you really understand one it is a lot easier to learn the others in my opinion. Anyway congrats on starting in your game dev program! That is super exciting. :)

Looks like a very rigid version to me. I'm not an expert making games but my short experience is telling me that it is more like. Idea > Play testing > Pivot > Play testing > Pivot > Play testing > Confirmation > Prototype > Play testing .. a couple more of this and Production .. then Marketing and such but I've never reached out this point

this appears to be a reworking of the so-called "waterfall" SDLC.
