The videogame developer is a professional who participates in the design and creation of a videogame. It is a multi-disciplinary field in which the most important things are creativity (plot, music, design of characters, etc.), the platform or device on which the game is going to run, the genre (adventure, action, real-time strategy, role play, platforms, etc.) and the viewing format (2D, 2.5D and 3D).
