BUILD IT - Development

Start to build your game using your designs to help you. Use a development log to record problems, outcomes of functionality and usability testing, and actions taken.


Create a development log. You should update it regularly during development.

Test each part of your game as you develop it.

Ask game testers to play a prototype of your game and give you feedback.

Save the final version of your game.
