  Other considerations

  Other considerations buildingwith MonoGame • Plan your content If targeting multiple platforms, try to use a single shared content project to reduce overhead Add additional “platform specific” content projects only when required • Market early It’s essential to build up good relations with each market store. Almost never too early to “get out in front” • Test often Some platforms will require more testing than others, plan to test deployment and not just gameplay. Use test tools where possible.
