Game Development Cycle

What is the correct order of the Game Development Cycle?

• Define, Debug, Design, Deploy, Develop

• Define, Design, Develop, Debug, Deploy

• Design, Debug, Define, Deploy, Develop

• Develop, Debug, Define, Design, Deploy

Why do developers follow the Game Development Cycle?

• To create games faster without planning

• To ensure a structured approach to game creation

• To avoid updating the game after release

• To focus only on graphics and sound

What happens during the "Debug" phase of game development?

• Developers create game characters

• Developers write and optimize the game’s story

• Developers find and fix bugs in the game

• Developers release the game to the public

What is the purpose of creating a prototype in game development?

• To test core gameplay mechanics before full development

• To create marketing materials for the game

• To release a finished version of the game

• To generate revenue before development starts

What is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in game development?

• A completed game ready for release

• A basic version of the game with essential features to test its viability

• A demo with all features included

• A fully polished version of the game with final graphics

How does an MVP differ from a prototype?

• A prototype is released to the public, while an MVP is not

• An MVP is a playable, testable version, while a prototype may only demonstrate an idea

• A prototype includes all final game assets, while an MVP does not

• An MVP is a concept sketch, while a prototype is a full game

Why is an MVP useful for game developers?

• It allows them to make money before completing the game

• It helps test key features with users before full development

• It replaces the need for debugging

• It ensures that the game has no updates after release

Why is user feedback important in game development?

• It allows developers to improve the game based on real player experiences

• It ensures that no further development is needed

• It prevents developers from making changes to the game

• It is only useful after the game has been on the market for years

How do developers collect user feedback?

• By guessing what players might like

• Through surveys, playtesting, and analyzing player data

• By avoiding interactions with players

• By launching the game and never making updates

What is an example of user feedback leading to a game improvement?

• A developer fixing a bug after players report it

• A developer releasing the game without testing

• A developer ignoring feedback to save time

• A developer removing levels randomly
