Event-Database Architecture For Computer Games Volume 1 Software Architecture And The Software Production Process

Event-Database Architecture for Computer Games proposes the first explicit software architecture for game development answering the problem of building modern Computer Games with little or no game design. An archetypal software production process based on this architecture is also introduced. This volume begins by describing the formal definition of software production processes in general and the production process of Computer Games in particular. It introduces the two basic principles behind the software architecture that addresses the communication and productivity problems of a degenerative production process. It goes on to describe the archetypal software production process and outlines the role that the Game Designers Game Programmers Game Artists Sound Designers and Game Testers play in that process. This book will be of great interest to professional game developers involved in programming roles such as Tools Programmers UI Programmers Gameplay Programmers and Engineers as well as students studying game development and programming.
