Game development is time and resource intensive. Development routinely costs £2.5-12 million, and requires 1-3 years in development time and a team of 10-50 developers and artists. The boom in game development has resulted in a dearth of experience. The average game programmer has 1-2 years experience; technical directors have an average of 3-5 yearsâ¬" experience. Project management expertise is a rare and valuable asset.
