launch-checklist

A game launch readiness checklist validates release preparation across code, content, QA, store/legal compliance, infrastructure, and community operations. It turns a chaotic pre-release project into a structured department-by-department review with clear go/no-go sign-offs.

You can generate a deployment checklist without writing files by running the command in dry-run mode. This evaluates codebase hygiene, content completeness, and store compliance, outputting a complete launch readiness review without committing artifacts to your production directory.

Yes, the launch readiness validation performs codebase scanning to flag TODO/FIXME/HACK hotspots, debug output, placeholder assets, and hardcoded dev/test values. This production-oriented code hygiene check reduces regression risk before signing off on the release.

Yes, you can use this release sign-off planning tool for multi-platform game production. It gathers milestone context and applies launch readiness checks across target platforms, ensuring store compliance and infrastructure readiness are validated for each specific deployment target.

To create a dated release artifact, invoke the launch checklist command with an explicit launch date instead of dry-run mode. It conditionally writes a production release checklist file to the production/releases/ path for ongoing release tracking and auditing.

The best way to prevent last-minute launch failures is implementing a cross-department readiness gate that validates code health, content completeness, QA status, and store compliance. This structured review enforces clear go/no-go sign-offs across all operational departments.
