Congratulations! Your first (second, third, fourth, etc.) game is out into the world! You went through all the steps of the process, play-tested it, finished it, did the post-production work, and now it is out in the wild and people are playing it! If you are like me, this process has taken 2-5 years of your time. However, you are now a wargame designer!
I hope you are ready for the hard part. People are not going to like your game, and they won't be afraid to tell you about it. Some of this feedback is more helpful than others and you can learn from it for your next game. Typically, it falls back into the following categories:
-None at All
-Not Helpful
-Misalignment
-A Gift
