Software Engineering in Games
Game vs. Application development
SE in Games, by GW and BL2
Overview
Common things: Both are software projects Both are produced by teams Both must be sold to be successful
Differences: Games must also provide content Games require collaboration of people from
different fields

The analysis phase
Applications: Requirement defined by
the customer
Games: Requirements defined
by the game concept
…to produce a complete description of the problems to be solved

Main Idea:
to decrease the length of a game project to reduce the risk of a game project to reduce the number of people working on a
game
