Explanation:

1. For the first blank: The structure "is to + verb" requires the base form of the verb. Among the options, "develop" is the base form, so we use "develop" here to mean creating a plan.
2. For the second blank: We need a noun that refers to the person who creates the game. "Developer" means a person who develops something (in this case, a video game), so "developer" fits here.
3. For the third blank: We need a noun that refers to the process of developing the video game. "Development" is the noun form of "develop" and means the process of developing, so it fits the context of the whole process of making a video game.

Answer:

1. develop
