00:01In pre-production, this is when you essentially start planning what the look and feel of the

00:07game is.

00:08We call it concept art, storyboarding, start creating the 2D concept.

00:12This is like the key art.

00:13So when you start game development, you first need to have game design.

00:17So we have here our designer.

00:19Essentially, he's in charge of creating the wireframes, all of the prototypes, all of

00:24the documentation related to the game.

00:27Mechanics as well, core mechanics.

00:29So you see here all of the references that we have, mechanics, different art, aesthetics.

00:37Finally, in the last leg of game design, you would need proof of concept.

00:41Proof of concept, or POC, is you would create a rough of the design, or how you would essentially

00:47assemble it in a mind map, then you have storyboarding and animation.

00:52So essentially, these guys are in charge of creating a 2D concept first.

00:57So when you create a 2D concept, this is when you essentially create the previous, the character

01:03design.

01:04So this is essentially illustration.

01:07So rough illustrations of different enemies, different characters.

01:12Then upon from there, we decide from what the final look would be for the character.

01:17Another example of previous visualization is like animation.

01:23Just illustration of different characters, character design, yet again.

01:32So right now, we're going to take a look at modeling, animation, and rigging.

01:37So we have here environment, essentially, checking all of the models with relation to props, different

01:45shaders as well, different textures.

01:48So that's what's involved in terms of environment.

01:50And then we have here modeling for characters specifically.

01:54So there are a few tools that we use.

01:57We use ZBrush, Maya, Blender for the modeling of the characters.

02:01In terms of detailing, we use ZBrush.

02:05But it also could be done in Blender and Maya.

02:08When you're creating games in production, and then from there, you start modeling the characters.

02:17You start designing based on the 2D concept.

02:21And then from there, you start creating the code.

02:23So depending on the system architecture that you have decided, depending on the game design

02:29that you've decided during pre-prod, you would start creating that in production.

02:33So that's when you start coding different behaviors, different mechanics inside of the game.

02:38So if we go over here in the production area, so these guys are essentially responsible

02:43for applying all of the Arc assets and animation into the game engine.

02:47So this is also where we start doing the programming for the game.

02:51In game development, you have a team of programmers, and you have a team of people,

02:55game developers as well, that essentially implements the Arc into the engine.

02:59You check for any issues, you check for any errors.

03:02That's the sort of stuff that we do.

03:04So here, you'll see how the process is for VFX.

03:08So you see here the animation, the character swinging sword, and the effects that happen

03:15on top of that inside of the game engine.

03:17You start integrating the art, the animation, and then the programming all together into one

03:22specific product, or a first vertical slice.

03:25So you have your programming, your 3D modeling, your animation, and then everything else in

03:31one layered cake.

03:36You would need to taste test your cake, meaning you would need to QA if it actually tastes good

03:42in the first place.

03:43So this is one example of how game developers would test their game inside of the game engine.

03:49So you see here, this is essentially a portrait.

03:53It's a mobile app.

03:54So meaning, you would need to have a group of people or a section in your company or a

04:01group of friends just to test your game.

04:04If there's any bugs, let's say there's any visual glitches in the app, if it's a mobile

04:09game, if there's any game-breaking issues, like for example, exploits, like you can press

04:14a button or you do certain combinations in the game and it can break the game.

04:21Then lastly, the fourth section is publishing your game, shipping it.

04:26In my job, there's a lot of technicalities that you would need to know.

04:30So specifically, as the Chief of Game Development, I need to double a bit in terms of how modeling

04:37takes that into account into game development, how I should test it, that sort of stuff.

04:42The job is very difficult because you would need to explore different areas as well, aside

04:48from game development.
