them with no plan at all. Therefore design team should create a
storyboard to recognize the flow the production. The design team
also has to communicate to the development team regarding the plan
towards creating the game and prevent any potential time and
money wasting.

Storyboarding helps show sequences that are difficult to explain
Storyboard help in simplifying the communication process in game
design. For instance, if the game level creator wants a certain
character to die in a certain way, it will be easily be understand in
pictures by developers rather than explained in a long description.

Storyboarding helps to communicate the game concept
to all
involved in development
As most games today relies heavily upon investors therefore
investors will need to be certain that the
money is not going to be
wasted. In order to prevent this situation, developers will need to
provide investors storyboards to show them early on how the game
will look like. This activity might give a large pressure to storyboard
artists for drawing detailed storyboards. Investors will need accurate
storyboards of the game otherwise
investors might turn down the
interests to
the corresponding game for providing
such not detailed
storyboards.

Storyboarding helps the design team work out difficult game
problems
As difficult
games much likely to have various difficult mechanics,
this might confuses the design team on how to properly manage the
game. Therefore, the design team might need storyboard to illustrate
how the
mechanics work, because of this reason; the game becomes
much more manageable.
