The video game developer is the software developer that specializes in the video game
development – process and related disciplines of creating video games. The game developer can
range from one person who undertakes all tasks to the large business with the employee
responsibilities split between the individual disciplines, such as programming, design, art,
testing, etc. Most game development companies have the video game publisher financial and
usually marketing support. Self-funded developers are known as the independent or indie
developers and usually make indie games.
Most video game publishers maintain development studios (such as Electronic Arts's EA Canada,
Square Enix's studios, Activision's Radical Entertainment, Nintendo EAD and the Sony's
Polyphony Digital and Naughty Dog). However, since publishing is still their primary activity
they are the generally described as "publishers" rather than "developers". Developers may be
private as well (such as how Bungie was, company which developed the Halo series exclusive to
the Microsoft's Xbox).
The developer may specialize in a certain video game console (such as Nintendo's Wii U,
Microsoft's Xbox One, Sony's PlayStation 4, Playstation 4 pro), and may develop for the number
of systems (including personal computers and the mobile devices). [citation needed] Video-game
developers specialize in the certain types of the games (such as role-playing video games and
first-person shooters). Some focus on porting games from one system to another, and translating
games from the one language to another. Less commonly, some do other kinds of the softwaredevelopment work in the addition to the games.
Independently owned studios who take the development contracts from platform holders and
what they produce will usually be exclusive to that the platform.
Studios that are partially and wholly owned by platform holder (also known as the subsidiary)
and what they produce will usually be exclusive to that platform. First-party developer In the video game industry, the first-party developer is part of the company which manufactures
the video game console and the develops exclusively for it. First-party developers may use name
of company itself (such as Nintendo), have the specific division name (such as Sony's Polyphony
Digital) and have been the independent studio before being acquired by console manufacturer
(such as Rare or Naughty Dog). Second-party developer Second-party developer is the colloquial term used by the gaming enthusiasts and the media
often used to describe two different types of the game development studios:
In reality, resulting game is first party (since it is funded by platform holder who usually owns
the resulting IP), but term helps to distinguish the independent studios from those directly owned
by platform holder. These studios may have exclusive publishing agreements (and other business
relationships) with platform holder, while maintaining independence. Examples are Insomniac
Games (which previously developed the games solely for the Sony's PlayStation platforms as the
independent studio), ADK for SNK consoles, Rareware for Nintendo and the later Microsoft, and
the Game Freak (which primarily develops Nintendo-exclusive Pokémon game series).
