Key Concepts for Game Project Development: Ethics, Politics, Social Aspects, and Technical Considerations

• Moral and ethics are important aspects to consider in game development, as they are related to the culture and ethics of society, and professional behavior, respectively.
• Political and social aspects should also be considered, such as prejudice, discrimination, and unequal access to education, as they can impact the game and its reception.
• Technical considerations, such as requirements analysis and architectural design, are paramount for game projects to meet deadlines, costs, and quality standards.
• Requirements analysis involves understanding the customer's real needs to solve a given business problem, which can be miscommunicated at times.
• Architectural design plans the high-level design of the game, allowing teams to focus on the big picture and development of a prototype.
• The game producer manages digital game projects, taking care of aspects such as schedule, team, budget, and communication between client and developers.
• The concept phase involves project creation, conceptual design creation, and intellectual property talks.
• The pre-production phase involves planning the development of the project, including the preparation of game design and code guidance documents, creation of a delivery schedule, and team building.
• At the end of the pre-production phase, game genre, platform, target audience, competing games, budget, and development milestones should be defined.
• The pre-production phase is also when ethical, moral, political, and social regulations are considered, as well as requirements analysis and architectural design.
• The production phase involves creating the game assets, coding, and testing, while the post-production phase involves bug fixing, marketing, and distribution.
• It is important to keep in mind the key concepts mentioned above throughout the game development process to ensure a successful and socially responsible game.
