CONCEPT
The job of the concept is to come up with original ideas for the game if that's the world, animals or creatures and characters in the game. Making concept art of things in the game create an original idea to work on. When people make the initial look of parts of the game, it really helps when actually making the game.

GAME DESIGN
The game design involves working out what kinda of art style the game will be, (being 8-bit). Then also working out what can and can't be in the game due to the age rating.

PROTOTYPING
A rough version of the game will need to be made and run, testing the game mechanics, and how the game will feel like to be played. It'll also be a good way to see what the game looks like in play

PROGRAMMING
This will be the coding that goes into the game. For example, the game has rules. If there's a wall that the player cannot pass through, there has to be coding that tells the game this. The coding decides what can and can't happen, both tot eh character and other characters

CHARACTER DESIGN
There will have to be a model of every variation of the characters. There will also have to be planning for characters and enemies. The characters will also have to fit the age restrictions and need to look and interest the target audience.

ENVIRONMENT DESIGN
The backgrounds for the game will need to match the art style and colour style of the characters and other things in the game. There will have to be many background practices and multiple for the final game.

SOUND DESIGN
This will have to be simple sound designs for things like lasers being shot, explosions, and character voices. However, some characters might just have text for their voice.

USER INTERFACE
A menu will be made for when the game loads up or is paused. The menu should be easy to use and should fit the target audience.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
The game will be tested and will have multiple versions to make sure the game has no bugs and runs smoothly. Big companies such as Apple, Samsung and Sony will test the game too before the game is put online.

DEPLOYMENT
Once the game is checked thoroughly and is made sure that there are no bugs and the whole game runs smoothly than the game will be released on the multiple app-stores for each kind of device for tablets and mobiles.
