What is Game Development?
Game development (abbreviated gamedev) is the art and science of creating games, which includes a vast number of tangential disciplines, such as: marketing (social media management, trailer video creation, market research, ad creation), story writing (character design, dialog writing, world building), visual arts (illustrations, 3D modelling, pixel art, icon design), graphical user interface design, audio creation (sound effect creation, music composition, voice acting, remixing), quality assurance (play testing, user experience design), and, sometimes, programming; additionally, game development also has its own set of unique disciplines, such as overarching game design, design of game mechanics, and level design; and specific games require domain knowledge in order to develop and publish.
