How Your Favorite Games Are Built: The Step-by-Step Process!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to ProjectNOTOS! 🎮✨

Today we’re going behind the scenes of one of the most exciting creative processes in the world: how video games are actually made.
From the first concept sketch to the final playable build, game development blends art, code, music, physics, design, and storytelling into one seamless experience.
But how do all these pieces come together?

In this video, we break down the entire journey: how characters are modeled, how animations are created, how levels are designed, how logic is programmed, and why every part of a game depends on the others.
Whether you dream of making your own game or just love understanding how your favorite worlds come to life, this deep dive will show you the full picture.
