Game development is essentially teamwork, and generally involves both artists as well as more technical developers. In addition, with to the commercial impact of games, many factors influence the design and implementation of games. As a consequence, we may look at game development from (among others) the following perspectives:

perspectives -- game development

artistic -- plot, narrative, style
technical -- choice of game engine (SDK)
sociological -- sharing within game communities
tool selection -- supporting the workflow
commercial -- success factors
management -- teamwork

It is only very recently that game development became a topic with academic credibility. From an academic perspective, game technology may be regarded as enabling technology, that is related to many areas of computer science, including graphics, computer organization, distributed systems and software engineering.
