For that reason I have drafted a page with some aspects of that process. Below you can find both the link and the list of categories I started off with. Is it a full list? Well&#8230; I feel it is not, it does not cover all the aspects, it doesn&#8217;t ask some questions and it certainly is not a recepee. But what I wanted to achieve actually is to see how to easily <mark style=\"background-color:#8ed1fc\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">visually track a progress<\/mark> against those main categories. And this is also for me &#8211; to MAKE progress in those. Here is the link to the page <a href=\"https:\/\/reversegames.org\/?page_id=95\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"95\">Tracker<\/a>. I somehow feel &#8211; that each project (especially the first one) will have <mark style=\"background-color:#8ed1fc\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">more detailed plan<\/mark>, probably in a format of Mind Map. I just need to find a good, free tool that I&#8217;ll be able to share with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now &#8211; one thing that strikes me from the very start. Doing what I hope and achieveing what I want is &#8230; <mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">less about design<\/mark> of a board game, but probably <mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">more in the publishing<\/mark>. And how about that? Who would think? Now&#8230; I&#8217;ll still find creative ways to spice this up. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elements of the tracker<br>\ud83d\udc4d &#8211; Idea Sparkled<br>\ud83e\uddee &#8211; Design Ready<br>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udc66\u200d\ud83d\udc66 &#8211; Alpha Testing<br>\ud83d\udc94 &#8211; Beta Testing<br>\ud83d\udd10 &#8211; Legal Saftety<br>\ud83d\udce3 &#8211; Community Around<br>\ud83d\udc54 &#8211; Manage Project<br>\ud83c\udfaf &#8211; Final Testing<br>\ud83d\udd27 &#8211; Fight those errors<br>\ud83d\udcb0 &#8211; Budget it well<br>\ud83c\udfc5 &#8211; Run Campaign<br>\ud83c\udf81 &#8211; Manufacture the Game<br>\ud83d\ude99 &#8211; Deliver the Joy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing is to design the board game, but a totally different thing is to have a successfull publishing.
