Well, I found this cool link which gives a good description and a well-made flow-chart of how games are made from start to finish.

Thanks to our "beloved friends" at EA.

Interesting chart..

But it looks like it's made in paint I mean @ my study I make flow charts in such a way you would expect something different from a big company like EA.

Probably...cuz in the short article it says:

"The chart was created by Ashley, a summer 2002 EA Academy intern who is now a full-time Production Assistant."

It's not EA making it...just a dumb intern. lol!

Heh, I notice how the flow chart fails to mention anything about actually testing or quality assurance before the "Final Game Asset" stage Wink

(Yes they mention alpha and beta stages, but nothing about fixing what is found in them... just about adding new stuff.)

Yes, this is a cheap shot, but I'm taking it.

Hahaha! That's probably why EA's games come with a s***load of glitches! lol! Good point!
