Production Phase
During the Production Phase we expand and refine the Core Gameplay Loop, and build the secondary systems that support it. The first milestone is to obtain a vertical slice of the game. This will provide you, your team, possible future partners, and investors proof that all the game’s systems work well together and that they deliver a unified, engaging experience to the target audience.
