5 STAGES OF

GAME
DEVELOPMENT
1. CONCEPT
In this stage, you need to have a clear
and well-defined idea for your game.
This includes the overall theme, story,
characters, and gameplay mechanics.

It's important to have a solid concept in


place before beginning development, as
it will guide the direction of the project
and prevent wasting time on ideas that
may not work.
2. COHESION
With a solid concept in place, it will be
easier to make decisions about the
game's design and mechanics. The goal
of this stage is to ensure that all aspects
of the game work together seamlessly,
creating a cohesive experience for
the player.
3. CONTROLS
In this stage, you will fine-tune the controls
of the game to ensure that they are intuitive
and responsive. The controls are a crucial
aspect of the game as they directly impact
the player's experience. Poor controls can
lead to frustration and negatively affect the
overall enjoyment of the game.
4. EXCITEMENT
At this point, you should have a well-defined
concept and polished controls, and you should
be excited about the potential success of your
game. If you're not feeling excited about the
project, it may be a sign that the concept or
controls need to be reworked.

Remember, developing a game is a long


and challenging process, so it's important
to be passionate about what you're creating.
5. ENGAGEMENT
In this final stage, the goal is to engage the
player by incorporating learning into the
game mechanics. To achieve this, you need
to first identify your target audience and
design the game's learning curve around
the skill level of the majority of your players.

By making the game engaging and enjoyable,


you will increase the likelihood of player
retention and ultimately the success of
your game.
