Technically developing a game is the process of iterating slowly over time into a cohesive product.
Making a game is the the construction of already known pieces.
Think the difference between a cookie cutter Ubisoft game where everyone knows it can be done given enough time and roughly what the final product will look like and hollow Knight a learn as we go who knows if it will be finished discover the ability to create on the fly.
Long story short:
Developing sounds more artsy.
Of course cookie cutter companies know that and use it for there own purpose so I guess there’s no difference.

Wtf is the difference between making and developing a game???
I guess the same than between shooting and making a movie. But the term game development is confusing, as it includes more than actual development.
It wouldnt be the strangest thing the english language does

Game development as a term usually includes all the technical and creative work that goes into it, not just the actual writing code part or R&D.
