How do Poker Website Development companies work? What is the process of Game development?
These are some of the questions that cross the mind of a new business person who starts to think about developing a website or a new video game.
To develop a game, included three stages named as
- Pre-production
- Production
- Post-production
Let’s talk in detail about these three stages.
Pre-production
It’s all about the planning and things before starting the process of production of the game. You may think about how you want your game to be?
You can take suggestions from close ones, your friend, family because everyone has different perspectives and ideas about the same thing. May you get a great idea, and now you can think of its implementation and what unique features you can add to make it competitive. You can question and answer yourself, such as:
How long is it going to take to develop Poker Game Software? Which staff should you hire? What will be the cost? Does it fit in your budget? How does it gonna attract more audience? What type of technology should you use? Etc.
It can be long-term because it takes to think and to have all resources available. Even it’s good to start a production process only after when you are sure that you don’t have any financial or any other problem.
All aspects are seen in this pre-production, such as the idea, story, concept, and all strategies.
Make sure you are well-organized before starting a developing process.
Production
The next step is production; all things you see and praise in the video game are not made all over the night. All features, background, characters, rules, sound, scores, language, chatting, and categories are designed professionally, and the time is taken to develop the Poker Game Software depends on the following factors:
Number of programmers or developers
It’s simple mathematics that more will be the number of workers, the lesser the time it will take. If more programmer works in making its gaming software, then it will do that in minimum time
Quality and features
When something is drawn regardless of the deadline, it is nearer to perfection than the drawing, which is done in a hurry. Generally, the quality and number of useful features of video games decide the time taken in developing the game.
The number of professional and team members and specialized programmers are huge such for designing, we need designers, for coding, we professional coders. Let’s discuss it briefly.
Animators
Sometimes players get too attached to the character; how? When the game starts to look like reality, it becomes so smooth, and non-players also start playing just because of the characters. So it’s important to only hire skilled Animators.
Audio designers
Are you addicted to some sound effects of any game? Those sound effects in the game to add some spice are done by an FX artist. It gives the game the next level of height.
FX Artist
Just like when we add effects in our pictures, it changes the whole mood of that picture. Same that game with more effects makes it look real as well as interesting.
QA video game testers
To ensure that the app will not make any blunder while playing, many tests are done. That’s why everything seems so perfect when we play video games. But the struggle behind it is the reality.
There are various stages of the test before it is released and ensures that it is complete and it’s ready to launch.
Prototype
It is the very first stage of the testing. This is all done in pre-production.
First playable
It is the first play of the game made which gives an idea of how the game will look when the users confront it.
If they find any fault, then they work again on it to make it fault-free.
Vertical Slice
Ready for the pitch! It is the playable form of your developed game.
Pre- Alpha
To be competitive among all other games, Poker Website Development needs perfection. In this stage, new content is added, and some are omitted. It gives sharpness to your game.
Alpha
Even Minor errors can prove to be a big disaster for you. So to make sure the efficiency, smoothness, quality is checked properly in this stage by QA testers.
Beta
No need to add more features or elements; whatever needs to be omitted and added is done. It’s time to improve those already presented features.
Gold Master
All set to introduce it to the world! Let the world know that you have created a game and let them decide how it is.
There are many other roles too which help in making the game more efficient such as translators, 3D modelers, writers, etc.
Post-production
Pre-production is complete; production is also complete. Now it’s time for releasing and showing it to the audience, and other team members work for updating, fixing, errors faced by players are made meanwhile. That’s all how the game is made or developed.
I hope this article will be helpful to you.
