Project milestones

A useful assessment considers audience, build stability and presentation materials. Rights, financial terms and distribution responsibilities require a separate agreement.

The sequence worth agreeing

Describe the playable idea

Describe the playable state, intended audience and support sought. Explain who owns the project and which assets can be shared for an initial assessment.

Identify the project stage

Agree the review materials, confidentiality and the questions to be answered. Mentoring, pitch support, publishing representation and commercial terms are different arrangements.

Prepare the pitch materials

Prepare a focused pitch with a playable demonstration and clear production milestones. Show what exists now, what remains planned and which resources the team needs.

Discuss the next milestone

Use feedback to refine the next discussion. Showcase participation or a mentoring session does not by itself establish funding, distribution or a publishing contract.

Protect the project while sharing it

Before sending a build or pitch, confirm who may access it and what rights are involved. Publishing discussions can cover responsibilities, revenue terms, territories and marketing scope; these belong in a negotiated agreement. A showcase opportunity and a commercial publishing deal are different outcomes and should never be presented as interchangeable.

Changes and follow-up

A new build or changed support request may require a fresh review. Keep the pitch version, ownership details and next milestone aligned so that discussions refer to the same project state.

Define the next milestone in observable terms: a playable feature, a revised pitch or a production decision. State the dependencies and the person responsible for each action. If the scope changes, update the milestone rather than keeping an outdated date. A short review record helps the team separate useful advice from commitments that have not yet been agreed. Keep agreed details together and identify the contact for practical questions.

Before you confirm

Keep the agreed scope, timing and next contact in one place. A written summary makes it easier to return to the decisions without relying on scattered messages.
