Game development fundamentals cover the core knowledge needed to build a video game, including programming basics, game engines (like Unity or Unreal Engine), design principles, art pipelines, and the overall production process from prototype to release. This foundational knowledge is typically the starting point for aspiring game developers, taught through courses, bootcamps, or self-study before specializing in a specific role such as programming, art, or design. It gives newcomers a working understanding of how all the disciplines of game-making fit together.
