We start by looking at the central role of game design and common development processes used in the industry. You will see how game software can be broken into parts that work together, and in particular the idea of game engines. We’ll explore the relationship between game design, balance and player experience. Lastly we’ll look at enhancing player experience though the use of AI techniques.

BEGINNING GAME DEVELOPER part 1

1.PYTHON Programing
2.PYTHON game development

 
As i know only some basics or even under that in programming language,So i have decided to start with python programing.Where python basics are thought free in udacity.com,the advantage is no prior programming knowledge is required ,It welcomes the beginners PYTHON BASICS.

      After finishing the basics,I have planned to do an free online course of pygame ,where games are created using python.start here: PYGAME COURSE..

for further assistance for creating python game i choose www.pygame.org,
where development tutorials are given.

Duraton:3 months to 4 months
starting line:jan
finishing line:march

Since i am studying BE i hav less time to concentrate on this,
then i have no mentors.so i have to learn by myself,by searching and collecting information I need lots of time to complete a game by learning self.

daily hours:1 to 2 hours
week hours:10 hrs
total hours:100 to 150 hours

If i have finished pygame before 100 hours really for me i have done a great job.
