HOW VIDEO GAMES ARE DESIGNED!!!

How Video games are Designed.

The video game was invented in 1952, and would be nothing compared to the graphics and textures we have today. I’m here to tell you how these are designed, so if you want to find out how video games are designed, I suggest you read on. Well, as I said before, the first video game was made in 1952 and was invented by kids, a tic-tac-toe game on a computer. In 1962, the first recognised video game was made, and in (you guessed it) 1972  the first arcade game (named kong) was made and to later be a home video game for your gaming device. The video game starts up with the core team, a team of people who make the ideas for the game, which make up ideas for the journey, where it will be based, what genre it will be, what the characters names will be, that kind of thing. They break down the game on paper, and colour code things like characters are on yellow paper, settings are on green paper, story on blue paper, and start the artistics of the game. They do the backgrounds and characters in a kind of graphic novel, storyboard.

At the time graphic artists recreate the characters into 3D models on computers, they then make them much more realistic by giving them textures and colour. After this is done, animators mess around with movements and see which ones they want in the game, there are over 700 movements in the main character alone! They then make a pose for the cover and a pose they naturally stand in. It’s amazing how much change the characters go through from pencil drawing to the final picture. Other animators work on the background and setting. Once they have a rough image, they add details, to make it seem more realistic or  better than before. To give it depth and dimension they use a kind of virtual lighting, they also do shading and shadows, this gives it a much more realistic look.

To make the cinematic's even more realistic, they do a thing called motion capture, this is very self explanatory, the animators put a video of what the character is going to do next to the character and try to re-live that through the character. Computer programmers make the video settings, this enables to toggle volume and graphics. To record the voices of characters, actors say things that come into the game and are recorded in a sound studio, then implemented into the game. Now they send the video games out for a test run (what I want to do) and check the game for bugs. Sometimes they leave what seems like bugs to find easter eggs, or secret missions in the middle of game play. The game makers can finally send out their game to the public as the ‘beta’ version. If people like their game they will update it past this stage, going through all this again. Now before I go I got a question for you, do you still want to make video games?
