About BG-Games

Production
This is the stage when most professionals are involved - game designers, artists, developers, testers
Programmers write the source code, designers work on the gameplay and layout, artists draw graphics (3D models and other game props)
Sound designers develop sound effects for the game
Level designers create levels, and screenwriters write dialogue for scripted scenes and non-playable characters
All the while, the game designer complements and modifies the game art to reflect the current vision of the game
Some features or levels can be removed or added
The artistic interpretation may evolve and the story (background) may change
There may be a new target site as well as a new target audience
All of these changes should be documented, and most of them should appear in the design documentation
Testing
Among the most important tasks at this stage are finding and fixing game design errors, game logic problems, and fixing critical bugs
At this stage the game already has all the key features, the content is enough for a full-fledged game for a long time, the collection and analysis of statistics is configured
The testing process is on the test plan, when stress tests are conducted with the involvement of real players
Release
After the game is created, tested and debugged, its release follows
As a rule, interest in this event is strongly encouraged by the game's publisher
The development team at this stage is engaged in fixing technical bugs discovered in the process and optimizing the product
Game designers are engaged in fine-tuning the gameplay to the actual situation in the game world
It also includes the implementation of various in-game features that support new monetization schemes
In addition, new content is being developed and integrated into the product to keep players interested
Support and maintenance
The last and unavoidable stage is maintenance
Games, even after testing and debugging, often come out with bugs
Developers leave the opportunity to fix bugs in released games by installing patches
