Video games have gained a substantial influence on the curriculum of the modern entertainment industry. From first-person shooters to role-playing games, the video game industry has become accessible to almost every type of gamer, whether it's a person who likes to tell invigorating stories or someone who simply wants to reduce armies to nothing more what bloody splinters. "...developing a 'major' game title can be a significant task: writers, game designers, sound designers, visual artists and others must work together to create the actual game." (“The game creation process and the game design document.”) One thing that often isn't taken into consideration, though, is the hard work and dedication that goes into many of the games that people play. Every video game on the market had to go through a rigorous process before it could reach the hands of the public. Every game usually starts with a basic idea, a very simple concept, whether it's a story idea or a game idea. An idea might be something simple like "A knight tries to save a princess from a monster," or perhaps "cars race with guns attached to their hulls." These ideas are so basic that one could argue that a child could come up with them, but every idea has a beginning even drawing inspiration from other media, such as movies, books, or television shows to begin with, though. This idea is usually placed in a "Game Design Document", a document that all team members working on a game use as a basis for their work. The concept development phase takes the germ of an idea for a game, processes it as a game draft and tests it on a potential audience." ("The Process of Game Cr...... middle of paper .... ..that's it. It requires a lot of work, refinement and, when working with a staff, teamwork. No one creates a good game in one night. A single game can take years to complete anyone who works in the industry understands the work that goes into a game. It's not just, as you might say, "fun and games." of the game and the game design document." Np, nd Web. 15 August 2011. "Brainy Gamer: The Story of Cave Story." Intelligent Gamer.
