The Challenges of
Game Development
If you are a gamer, it's likely that you have dreamed of creating your own blockbuster
game. No doubt all of us have, at one time or another, looked into developing our
own game but are daunted by the fact that you have to learn complex programming
languages. Granted, while most of these languages are easy to understand for some of
us, most of us cannot understand them. We just do not want to take the time to scroll
through endless tutorials and coding topics to try and learn something. So when you
are learning programming, do not forget about debugging!
However, the allure of seeing indie devs make it big may give you the drive and
excitement to learn programming and game development.
To give you a better outlook on game development, we are going to discuss the
following in this chapter:
• Examples of devs who have hit it big
• The challenges of development and the difficulty of learning coding languages
