"Laby: What is the common process for an idea? I mean the idea state, the solidification, the coding state, and the production state?
HJH: To put it very, very roughly:
Think up an update idea, and share the appropriate presentation with the internal Development Team and other external teams.
Get feedback, edit the ideas, and after getting the green light, create more detailed documents in preparation for the idea being implemented.
As detailed plans get made, we make a to-do list, and share it within the internal Dev Team.
We take the roughly detailed plans to the programming and graphics teams for implementation discussions.
We do the graphics and coding work.
We test the implemented content.
We fix errors found in testing process.
We repeat steps D-G.
QA begins main testing.
Bugs found by QA get fixed.
Things are updated to test server.
We fix errors found in test server.
Things are released on the live server."
Cool story according to the tetris event :)
