Chapter Review

A development team is made up of a variety of individuals who create the necessary components for a successful venture. Contrary to popular perception, game development is not always about fun and games, and because of budget concerns, team members will often spend many hours on the job working in a variety of positions.

In the next chapter, we are going to look at what it takes to set up your own development studio.
