3D Game TechnologyGame Engineering: Our Approach

Our typical approach in game engineering projects is to segregate them into four broad phases - Feasibility assessment and scoping
- Process and technology R&D
- Development
- Testing

Game Technology: Feasibility Study

Initially the game specification is studied for various complex elements that are required to be worked out. Since these elements are typically of high risk, we mark these as top priority to mitigate risk and develop them in the initial cycles of the project as part of the Process and Technology R&D.

Third party modules, middleware etc. are evaluated at this stage both for functionality and performance.

Intellectual Property is optionally identified at this stage. In the case of long haul projects or substantial IP creation, sharing arrangements are worked out

Game Production Process and Technology R&D

We prefer to classify any unknown development effort as R&D. This includes areas where time of development may not be apparent from the feasibility study. We go through very fast paced R&D cycles to figure out what process needs to be built for the project. In the case of technology we do a detailed analysis and come up with solutions, be it patents, or modules. Usually this phase results in shortening of deadlines because processes and technologies are under tighter control at this stage. We usually come up an entire project map with deadlines, delivery milestones and give the client a very clear picture of how the entire development cycle will be accomplished.

Game Development

This is a tightly controlled phase of the project. All specs are written down beforehand, making sure that the game engineers know exactly what they need to develop. Project tracking and version control are enabled and used extensively during this phase. The client can get a real-time feedback on progress and make course corrections as soon as problem areas are identified so that the project flows smoothly.

Game Testing

Thanks to agile development processes, this phase typically does not last long and is usually spent adjusting the developed game as per the specs.
