"The industry of developing games and virtual environments have come a long way, but\r\nit is not without its share of problems. In many ways, virtual worlds entail similar\r\ndevelopment processes as games, as they both require expertise from creative and\r\ntechnical facets. While facing similar difficulties as other commercial projects, creating\r\ngames presents its own unique challenges due to its multi-disciplinary nature. Because\r\nof this, beginner and indie developers face complications in attempting to apply\r\nSoftware Engineering methods (which are efficiently tailored to guide general software\r\nprojects) to reduce the chance of project failure. This study aimed to examine the\r\nconstruction of games and integrate it into the Software Process. First, the background\r\nof game development and Software Engineering were explored, deriving the\r\nintroductory guides for both. Then, a guidelines draft is developed to offer advice on\r\ngrafting aspects of the Software Process onto existing game or virtual world projects.\r\nThey are aimed at independent developers as they represent the future workforce of the\r\ngame development industry. To test the draft, an experimental project is carried out\r\nusing the guide as a supplementary resource. The project resulted in a 3D action-RPG\r\ngame platform that can be used as a starting point for advanced feature placement and\r\ncontent development. It demonstrated that the guidelines were educative but lacks depth\r\nand correctness. Revisions on these guidelines will transform it into a stepping stone\r\nresource that introduces novice game developers to integrating Software Engineering\r\nprocesses and practices into their projects.
