Game release in late summer 🌞, early autumn 🍂. Plan for 1-2 months afterwards fixing bugs 🐞 and releasing some more (ideally already prepared) content.
Rinse and repeat.

I know this might sound like a bit of a pipe-dream 💭 to many who have experienced the chaos of creative work and things might definitely shift and stages might blur into each other. But having an overall frame for this is something I need very much.
