Nerd Tutorial Podcast

Topic: Video Games and How to Make Money   As a follow up to last week's discussion, Mom wondered how people make money in video games, and being the clever nerd that has actually spent along time in the meta narrative on Video Game creation and process, I came back with some information to offer.   What does it cost to make a Video Game?   This namely depends on the complexity of the game.  A game with Side Scrolling or 2D graphics will usually cost less than a game with 3D graphics.  But the nature of the game’s content and desire to fulfill it is also necessary.   Staff There are a core number of elements you need to make a game: Game Designers Basically the person who designs the world, mechanics, and fun of a game Programmers Individuals that make the Game Designer’s vision possible via programming and developing tools or systems for the game Graphic Design and Animators Video Games being a primarily visual media, requires people who will be able to create characters, worlds, and animate them in a game.
