Game development: a subset of Software Engineering.

it shares some of the problems related to design.

Petrillo claims that games industry has all the problems found in the traditional SE industry and solutions found in the traditional software development solve some problems in the game development.

With development and advances in various components, such as

3D graphics, animation, sound, sound, artificial intelligence, physics, and communication and interaction between these

components

complexity of game development increased significantly.

An effectively designed interface increases the desire to interact and explore the system beyond one’s needs (Mandel, 1997).

an easy-to-use user interface with good usability will benefit the user experience greatly.

the flat hierarchy structure in the game industry is caused by the young age of the workers and good for innovation

It provides flexibility to adapt to changes in It provides flexibility to adapt to changes in requirements.

He also explains that game developers are given non-deferrable

and short time-frame for development because of marketing reasons.

focus on planning, documentation, etc. the matured software development industry

can help reducing uncertainty by providing processes, methods and tools to reduce processes, methods and tools to reduce iteration during development.

The transition from design to production with video games exhibits many non-functional requirements to which the literature does not provide a coherent literature does not provide a coherent solution (Callelle, 2005; Kanode, 2009).

the agile SE methods had been widely adopted, but modified to the video game industry’s needs (Koutonen, 2011).

The traditional SE methods are used as a basis, but it is also questioned if game development could have something unique to teach the SE paradigm.
