After internal testing, approved features join the official development backlog. This stage involves software engineers, mathematicians adjusting odds, artists, and sound designers all collaborating together. Then comes rigorous testing, not just for errors but for the overall experience of the changes. Finally, the update is packaged and deployed. We maintain players in the loop during this whole period, teasing what’s coming and acknowledging the feedback that inspired it. This creates a strong sense of shared custodianship over the game’s direction.
