Creating a game is a challenging endeavor. From concept to release, there are countless moving parts to manage, teams to coordinate, and obstacles to overcome.

A structured approach to game development is like having a game plan before a big match or a plan before building a house.

It helps to organize the development process, making it easier to manage time effectively, meet deadlines, and ensure everyone is on the same page. We created a document that outlines typical stages of Game Development.

Here are a few statistics that support following a plan!
