Video games are categorized into genres based on their gameplay interaction rather than visual or narrative differences. A video game genre is defined by a set of gameplay challenges and are classified independent of their setting or game-world content, unlike other works of fiction such as films or books. For example, a [[Shooter Game|shooter game]] is still a shooter game, regardless of whether it takes place in a fantasy world or in outer space. | Video games are categorized into genres based on their gameplay interaction rather than visual or narrative differences.

[[Video Game Development|Video game development]] is the process of creating a video game. Development is undertaken by a game developer, which may range from a single person to an international team dispersed across the globe. Traditional commercial PC and console games are normally funded by a publisher and take several years to develop. Indie games usually take less time and money and can be produced by individuals and smaller developers. The independent game industry has seen a substantial rise in recent years with the growth of new online distribution systems and the mobile game market. | [[Video Game Development|Video game development]] is the process of creating a video game.
