Retitle "Game Developer" to "Game Programmer" #5989

Suggestions

The roadmap titled "Game Developer" only explores concepts related to programming. Neither design nor art or animation concepts are included, and arguably the roadmap would be overwhelmingly complex if they were. Still, you cannot really develop a game without dealing with design, and more often than not art and animation concepts as well. It also implicitly suggests that the study of mechanics, systems, combat, economies, etc. does not have as much of an influence in the development of a game, which is not the case. I would recommend retitling the roadmap from "Game Developer" to "Game Programmer", and perhaps future roadmaps can contribute to the remainder of game development.

This makes sense and potentially clears up any confusion, we will potentially action this when we migrate the two roadmaps to the new editor.

I will leave this issue open but close the other one given how similar it is.

Thanks, Filippo. Considering this to be a massive change, we will leave it as it is for now to avoid breaking external pages linking to this roadmap. However, I understand the sentiment -- there are plans to add roadmaps for Unity3D and Unreal into the same roadmap, and we will see how we can improve it further. Thank you again for the suggestion.
