Game development is fun, but incredibly difficult.
Most people think that “programmer + artist = game”. This formula can be valid for very small projects. Most often these are projects with endless gameplay and the absence of any kind of narrative.
If we take a game that is more or less filled with content, then everything is more complicated.
Let’s list the specializations required to create a game:
- Producer
- Project manager
- Screenwriter
- Game designer
- Level designer
- Concept artist
In case of 3D:
- 3D modeler
- Texture artist
- Rigger and animator
In case of 2D:

- Fx-artist
- Programmer
- Technical artist
- Sound engineer
- Marketer

In the case of a commercial release of the game, the following are added:
- Lawyer
