Five year game development and deployment roadmap

Description:

The image displays a PowerPoint slide titled "Five-Year Game Development and Deployment Roadmap," which outlines a strategic plan for developing and launching a game over five years. The roadmap is presented in a horizontal timeline format, with each year marked by an oval shape and labeled from "Year 1" to "Year 5."

Each year is associated with a different phase of game development:

Year 1: 

Focuses on "Concept Development" and "Design," indicating the initial stages where game ideas are conceptualized and design elements are established.

Year 2: 

Dedicated to "Implementation," where the game's designs are translated into tangible content.

Year 3: 

Involves "Testing," which ensures the game functions correctly and is enjoyable.

Year 4: 

Features an icon of a rocket, suggesting this is the "Deployment" phase where the game is launched and made available to the public.

Year 5: 

Contains an arrow pointing towards "Sales Marketing," indicating that the focus is on selling and marketing the game after launch.

Each phase is represented by a differently colored arrow-shaped box, pointing to the right, indicating forward movement through time and progression in the development cycle. Below the timeline, there are additional boxes that correspond to each phase:

1. Pre-Production:

Lists tasks like "Developing designs for game Instructional Designing."

2. Production: 

Mentions roles involved, such as "Technical Directors," "Artists," and "Programmers."

3. Post-Production: 

Includes "Beta Testing," "Editing," and "Bug Fixing."

The slide concludes with a blank box under "Sales Marketing," providing a space to add specific strategies or notes.
