Abstract
This study is an analytical case study focusing on 'low-budget' mobile game development centered on both short-term development and small-scale collaboration. This study set up the assumption of four months as development period limited by three developers along with step by step productional documentation. In the previous study, we set up the responsibilities of the development personnels to analyze the effective process of the practical production. Furthermore, the study analyzed the usability verification of both advantages and disadvantages for conducting the quantitative survey with developer's feedbacks. The study is to provide the essential guideline for 'low-budget' development group with effective pipeline.
