Today, the process of creating a complete game often requires a series of complex elements and steps, which explains why the process is often so expensive. The production budget for a game title is often allocated to many different areas to ensure that every aspect of the project is taken care of. From graphics, gameplay, sound to voice actors, advertising costs, distribution… all have created an extremely expensive game market.
Reality shows that most AAA blockbuster games are created by producers with rich economic potential. Smaller studios can only make indie games with lower quality (mainly images and sound).
Funding for game development is mainly allocated as follows
– Graphics and Design: 20-30%
– Programming: 20-30%
– Script and Game Design: 10-15%
– Sound: 5-10%
– Testing and Bug Fixing: 10-15%
– Advertising and Marketing: 10-15%
– Distribution and Support: About 5-10%
