Dito Suwardita Basic Game Production
PREPRODUCTION (Goals) • Design Document drawn up • Playable proof of concept/vertical-slice demo • Tech and tools initiated • Art direction finalized • Funding obtained
PREPRODUCTION APPROACH (Written Process) TO DO : - Game Concept, Vision, Direction - Background Information - Finance Budgeting - Game Structures (Themes, Key Features, Tech options) - Game Roadmap (Flowchart) - Storyboard - Implementation (Untextured test-play to illustrate core gameplay components) Pro : • Easy to execute • Measurable • Flexible to add new feature • Easy to rework Cons : • Less Creativity • It may go into full development
PREPRODUCTION APPROACH (Organic Process) To Do : • Gameplay concept • Key features • Vertical Slice Demo Pros : • More Creativity • Needs less levels creation to proof the concept • Easier to make decision “Go ahead or Step down” Cons : • Creative chaos • Potentially delay • Not measurable cost
PREPRODUCTION (Game design) • Key Genres 1 • (Firstperson shooter, RTS, Sports, Horror) • Key Genres 2 • (Puzzle, RPG, Thirdperson adventure, Management/Simulation) • Design Documentation • Comprehensive guide to every detail of every aspect of the game
PREPRODUCTION (Pitch) • - Sales Sheet ( basic information, general gameplay detail, key features in general) • - Design Document ( Comprehensive overview of the game) • - Interactive Demo (How finished gameplay will work) • - Technical Design Document (Overview how the game will be built) • - Risk Analysis (Identified things that can go wrong) • - Project Plan (Outlining the realistic development schedule) • - Cost Forecast (Drawn up using project plan as the basis)
