In early Summer 🌞, the game should be ready with a beta/demo for players to try out. Collecting feedback and fixing bugs. Enter the summer Steam Next fest. Connect to press and influencers.

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.

As Parkinsons Law says: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” If there is no time-frame, things spiral out of control. And I think a year of time can be plenty – if planned correctly.
