Plan and test game mechanics

A mechanic needs an observable rule: an action, a change in state and feedback to the player. Before adding more systems, test whether the first action, win condition and restart work together. The existing guides below provide the starting workflow and debugging checks.

Prepare a game for publishing

Publishing starts with a game that can be tested, understood and maintained. Check the available creator controls, audience settings and safety requirements before a release. Use the publishing guide for the sequence, and the troubleshooting guide for an actual blocked step.

Build Still Missing After a Rollout Announcement

A rollout announcement describes a dated scope, not proof that every account now has Build. Compare the exact announced market or capability with current Support and the account's observed entry state. Do not convert an elapsed date or a headline about desktop expansion into an account-level access guarantee.

Symptom

Build remains absent or blocked after the reader sees an official expansion announcement.

Immediate action

Identify the announcement's exact scope and original date before comparing it with the account.

Diagnostic branches

The cited passage describes future direction rather than current access.: Keep it as an announcement and use current operational guidance for access questions.
The announced market applies but another account requirement is shown.: Investigate the actual remaining requirement rather than treating the headline as an exemption.
The announcement and current device wording differ.: Preserve that source distinction and use the relevant platform comparison.
Current requirements appear aligned but the account is still blocked.: Prepare the dated source-versus-observation packet for official clarification.

Least-destructive change

Compare sources and observed access without changing account identity, region or project state.

Retest

The original announcement date is not replaced with today's retrieval date.
The tested action matches the announced capability or market scope.
An elapsed date is not treated as proof of universal activation.

Escalation

Send official support the specific announcement passage, current guidance and redacted entry state if the gap remains unexplained. No private rollout schedule or unlock deadline is claimed here.

Working notes

Extract the relevant claim from the announcement. A newly named market, an added creation surface and a future control can appear together while carrying different scopes. Identify which one the account observation is supposed to test before treating the entire announcement as delivered or missing.

Check the current operational guidance separately. An announcement's original date belongs in the evidence record even when you read it today. A newer retrieval does not renew the claim or resolve inconsistent device sections.

Record the actual account result at the corresponding boundary. An absent entry, a visible verification requirement and a working creation surface are different outcomes. A success on another account can be useful context but does not supply the missing result for yours.

Ask a bounded question if the evidence remains inconsistent. State the announced scope, the current requirement and the observed block. Do not invent a phased-rollout assignment, waiting period or future support date to fill the explanation gap.

Examples

Announcement comparison: dated market-expansion statement / current named-market list / account entry state / unresolved platform or account condition. A matching country name does not complete the other fields.
Capability mismatch: a future control is mentioned in the same article as an access expansion. Keep the future-control statement separate rather than using it to diagnose a missing current entry.
Escalation question: the announcement describes the relevant scope, current guidance appears applicable, and the account shows this exact notice. Ask what requirement applies without asserting the account was omitted from a private rollout batch.
