Game development is the process by which a game is produced. Today this term almost exclusively refers to the development of computer or video games.
Overview
Development of computer and video games is undertaken by a developer, which may be a single person or a business. Typically, large-scale commercial games are developed by development teams within a company specializing in computer or video games. A typical modern video or computer game costs from States dollar|$1 million" target="_blank" >* up to $15 million to develop. Development is normally funded by a publisher. A contemporary game can take from one to three years to develop, though there are exceptions.Roles
While in the early era of home computers and video game consoles in the early 1980s, a single programmer could handle almost all the tasks of developing a game, the development of modern commercial video games involves a wide variety of skill-sets and support staff. As a result, entire teams are often required to work on a single project. A typical present-day development team usually includes:- One or more producers to oversee production
- At least one game designer
- Artists
- Programmers
- Level designers
- Sound engineers (composers, and for sound effects)
- Testers

@pennjillette So when are you going to get back into game development? Yes, the iPhone app is a start, but planning on expanding?
