Playing a video is very intriguing. Have you ever imagined how intriguing designing a video would be? Apart from some intricate aspects of video game design, you need to consider some basic aspects of video game development before designing. Given below are some of them:
Make a plan: When you plan to make a video game, you would need to make a rough plan of how you would be going about it. Once you have a set plan, you would next need to find out which software would be appropriate for the kind of game you are planning to design. There are two major types of video games, 2D video games and 3D video games and various kinds of game playing platforms i.e. PC and console. If you are not well versed with the respective type of software you would need to take a course in the same. However, if you were short of time, the only alternative would be looking out for a video game designer who would design the game for you.
Understand the target player group: When you make something for someone, you need to understand the likes and dislikes of that person. This is very important when it comes to video game designing. If you design a game for a 10-15 year old age group, putting intricate game settings and game player controls would make the player group lose interest in your game. Moreover, you should also understand the level of understanding of that player group. Using violent game characters or making the game too gory would have an adverse effect on the mind of the player.

Think like a gamer: Although there is no rule that to know gaming if one wishes to play a game, it is preferable to have played games at some point in your life. This comes handy when playing games as the perspective of the gamer is much different as compared to the perspective of a non-gamer.
Criticism is good: Getting honest feedback from your beta version will help you make changes in the final copy of your video game. Don’t rely on your own judgment alone. You are aware of what is going to happen when. The best option would be hiring game testers who would provide the necessary accurate feedback. After you receive their feedback, make changes in the game and you are ready to release it.
