# Game Build

A buildable, end-to-end playable state of the full game. Production ends when the game can be played from start to credits (or equivalent), even if bugs, tuning, and polish remain.

## Content Guide

- **All systems implemented** — every system from concept exists in code
- **All content authored** — every level/encounter/asset from the scope envelope exists
- **Buildable** — the game produces a runnable build on every target platform
- **End-to-end playable** — a player can start from the menu and reach the end

## Completion

Complete when the full scope is in the build, even rough, and the game can be played without engineer intervention from start to finish.

## Quality Signals

- Build passes on every target platform
- A new player can start the game and experience the full arc
- Scope is closed — no "and one more thing" deferrals into polish
