- activity 4, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3410, "days_push": 579, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A set of visual roadmap charts guiding learners on the path to becoming a game developer, covering client and server development tracks. It is a curated educational reference inspired by the popular developer-roadmap project.

## Use cases
- plan a path to become a game developer
- figure out what to learn next for game development
- understand the game development technology landscape
- guide college students learning game programming
- compare client vs server skills needed for game dev

## When to choose
- you want a visual overview of game development skills and technologies
- you are a beginner unsure where to start in game development
- you need a curriculum outline for teaching game development

## When to avoid
- you need hands-on tutorials or code examples rather than high-level charts
- you want an interactive or regularly updated roadmap (content targets 2022)
- you need engine-specific learning paths like Unity or Unreal in depth

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation
- domain: tutorials, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: roadmap, career-guide, learning-path, charts, game-programming, game-development
