Creating a Video Game

The development of a video game can take anything from six months to four years. First, the publisher and the developer have to agree on a game they want to make. But this has a tendency to be fairly complicated because the publisher and the developer aren't two people; they are two companies and companies rarely agree quickly. They create a contract that states how much money the developer will get, agree on a time frame for the development of the game and on its basic characteristics.

When the contract is signed, the game designers, programmers, artists, art directors, producers and testers start development work. One game may eventually have as many as 100 people working on it. As the game begins to take shape, the development team becomes even larger to include more artists and programmers. Everything that a player sees in the game must be created by the artists. The graphics that tell player how well they are doing also need to be created. Some games may keep a large team of artists busy for many months. At the same time the programmers must define in a computer code what everything does. For every action caused by a player pressing a button on the controller, a programmer must tell the computer what it means.

When all the features of the game are actually in it, the developers focus on making all those parts work and look better and also on finding things that don't quite work. Here the testers really get to work. They get paid to play the video game all day, it's their job to search for all the things that might go wrong.

After everything has been done, the game is ready for release. At this stage the game is presented to the manufacturer. Every company, like Sony or Microsoft wants to make sure that any game released for their operation systems works well and meets their requirements. If the manufacturer says "no", the developers have to keep working. If the game is successful, it can be on shelves and ready to play within a week.
