Re: How long does your team plan?

Normal:
1-2: analyze game many times in different scenarios. Plan strategy to win. Come up with requirements.
3-4: Develop preliminary design, lock it down, CAD it into final.
5-6: build and test

Last year:
1-2: normal
3-4: Prototype to determine design.
5-6 build like crazy to meet deadline.
Design built from prototypes made in weeks 1-4.
