This paper highlights the game development framework (GDF) that applies the theory of learning and embodied the theory in games. In order to examine whether the appropriate game development framework (GDF) will have an impact on the motivation and performance of students in the subject, the researcher considers multiple factors related to the game development framework as well as technical factors. A search by Google Scholar search engine was used for the relevant journal article, books, and conference proceedings related to the subject from the years 2010-2016. Searched literature was filtered and selected based on the definition and categorization of games by scholars (including subject discipline and platform/delivery) and the advantages of games in teaching and learning. This paper suggests that the game development framework (GDF) should be approached as a systematic learning system based on the principle of learning theory, learning goal, learning outcome, instructional design, game features, plus with sustainability features. Thus, it may influence the impact of the game on the teaching and learning process.
