Developing a video game and launching it in the market is a
costly task by every sense of the word. It takes a significant amount of
investment, not just of cash but also of time and determination. The bigger the
game is, the more time consuming it will be. However, it is all worth it in the
end because of the masterpiece of a result that is produced. An exemplary game
is Red Dead Redemption 2, which went into pre-production six years before it
was released.
Creating a video game requires patience and hardworking
capabilities, and a single person cannot achieve all the work. There are
hundreds of workers working on that project to reach its end goal. There are
different roles taken by different people to build that project. These roles
are divided into teams, and each team has a specific milestone they need to
achieve within the deadline.
In the early times, many video games were developed by a
single person who took on the role of programmer, designer, writer, and all the
other job roles in the video game themselves. However, with the current
generation of gaming, the complexity of developing a game has increased
substantially because modern graphics, textures, and even storytelling need to
be on point to make a video game a success.
There are a lot of different roles that are taken up by
people in the development of a video game whether it is a programmer who
develops the code or an animator, from a game designer to a writer and music
composer, all play an integral role in the creation of a single video game.

of job roles there are in the making of a video game.
