A game does not end at launch.

It evolves through different stages.

Development Phase

Focus on:

  • Core gameplay
  • Features
  • Performance

Launch Phase

Ensure:

  • Stability
  • Store readiness
  • Marketing push

LiveOps Phase

After launch:

  • Add new content
  • Run events

Final Thoughts

Successful games evolve continuously.

Plan beyond launch.
