We throw around a lot of weird terms in game development: vertical slice, 3Cs, dirty build, LODs… And if you’re not working inside a studio, most of it probably sounds like gibberish. But trust me — each one of these has a very real (and very important) meaning when building games, especially in AAA development.

In this video, I’m breaking down some of the most common — and most confusing — terms that we use every day in game dev. Whether you’re trying to break into the industry, work with a dev team, or just want to better understand how your favourite games are made, this guide is for you.

Covered in this video:
• What a Vertical Slice actually is (and why we throw it away)
• Why Blockouts come before beauty
• The 3Cs and why they’re the foundation of good gameplay
• Gold Master, Certification, TCRs, and the stress behind submitting a game
• What LOD really means and how it affects your game performance
• The difference between Root Motion and In-Place animation
• What a Dirty Build is and why we need them
• Strike Teams and how they solve big development problems fast
• Pre-production vs Production vs Post-production
