On the other hand Android, which is a popular mobile platform, uses some form of Java.
Java is not supported by popular game consoles and there is no easy switch to those from Java as far as I know. The lack of libraries has not been a problem for me, but I can imagine that it can be for others. On the other hand Java has a huge class library built-in, which reduces the need for third party libraries that are not game related. There are also Java ports or ready-made wrappers available for popular libraries, for example I'm using JBullet - Java port of Bullet Physics Library. On the other hand you always have the option to call these native libraries from Java also, but it's more work to do so. Most of the available libraries do not support Java. As others have stated, non-deterministic memory management is a problem, and you need to code that in mind. On the other hand, with Java you have couple of problems. Supporting multiple operating systems with Java can be very easy, for example my previous Java game, which I developed in Windows for a year, worked in Linux right away and in OS X with only one bug without any need to compile anything on those platforms. In the past I used to write my games with C++, but after switching to Java there is no going back. I am currently writing my second 3D game as a hobby project in Java, and I just love it. With these you can quite easily get started to serious game development in Java. It is a low-level framework, which provides OpenGL for high quality graphics and OpenAL for sounds. Those are some games made with Java using The Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL). Is Java Viable For Serious Game Development? I understand that people often use pre-built engines but I would think that making the actual game would require people to work closely in the same studio. 
I was having a conversation with someone who believed that components of a games code where subcontracted out to programmers in different countries where it would be cheaper, then assembled by the local company.
But if you want to get really good then you have to put in the time to develop your artistic skills. There is plenty of prepackaged images and art that you can use either for free or by purchasing that you can use in your video games. How To Be An Artist To Design Video Games? But, keep in mind if you want to be really good you need to learn how to program. There are software applications that will allow you to make fully functional video games without any programming. A good game design permits many different strategies, balanced so they offer equal chances of success. Usually each player tries a different strategy, and so the designer can see which strategies pay off best. Why Is It Important To Have More Than One Person Creating A Game?Įvery game design needs play testing by many different players.
