<p>This article explains September 2016 live session stages: draft, rehearsal, live session itself, and publishing.</p>
<p>Even though live session takes only a few hours, we devote a whole month to prepare for it. Let's have a look at live session stages in detail.</p>
<ol>
<li><p><strong>Draft.</strong> Game creation for the first time.</p>
<p>Purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li>test our technologies and fix major bugs;</li>
<li>discover usability issues to fix in the next development iteration;</li>
<li>list exact steps to reproduce the game later;</li>
<li>create draft version of the game assets (models, textures, sounds, scripts).</li></ul>
<p>Upon stage completion, we announce live session date and show you the game preview.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Rehearsal.</strong> Game recreation.</p>
<p>Purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li>make sure we have no major bugs left;</li>
<li>record the whole process of the game creation;</li>
<li>create final game assets.</li></ul>
<p>This is 99% the game we publish later.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Live session.</strong> Reassembling the game live in front of you.</p>
<p>Purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li>show how easy it is to create a game;</li>
<li>walk you through nuances of game creation;</li>
<li>get feedback from you;</li>
<li>answer your questions.</li></ul>
<p>We take game assets from the rehearsal and use them to quickly reassemble the game in just a few hours.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Publishing.</strong> The release of our technologies' last version, live session materials, and stand alone game.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>That's it for explaining September 2016 live session stages: draft, rehearsal, live session itself, and publishing.</p>
