A manual planning aid, not an automatic audit or a guarantee of security, approval, or earnings.

START WITH A SAFE WORKING COPY
[ ] Keep the original source untouched
    Save a separate working copy and a version you can return to after each major change.
[ ] Run a baseline playtest
    Record the starting behavior and Output errors before editing so you can distinguish existing issues from regressions.
[ ] Review scripts and dependencies
    Identify server entry points, LocalScripts, ModuleScripts, external dependencies, and unfamiliar code before running or replacing it.
[ ] Confirm the destination and source license
    Use the intended Roblox account or group and check that your license covers the experience you plan to publish.

MAKE THE EXPERIENCE YOUR OWN
[ ] Replace project branding
    Review the game name, icons, thumbnails, UI text, welcome messages, and credits.
[ ] Check asset permissions
    Verify that required images, audio, animations, meshes, and packages load for the destination experience.
[ ] Review experience-specific identifiers
    Check purchase, badge, group, place, and other configuration IDs. Replace values that belong to a different experience.
[ ] Test the first-time player journey
    Start with a fresh test profile. Can someone find the objective, perform the first action, and understand the reward?

PLAY THROUGH THE AWKWARD CASES
[ ] Test with separate clients
    Use a server with at least two test clients. Compare what each player sees and what the server records.
[ ] Handle departures and respawns
    Try leaving during a round, resetting a character, joining late, and starting a second round.
[ ] Check touch and smaller screens
    Use Studio's device tools and, when possible, a real phone. Check buttons, readable text, camera behavior, and essential actions.
[ ] Review errors and performance
    Repeat the core loop while watching client and server Output. Investigate repeated errors and avoidable work before release.

PROTECT PROGRESS AND PURCHASES
[ ] Keep tests away from live player data
    Use an isolated test experience or data setup. Do not enable Studio access to production stores just to clear an error.
[ ] Test saving and returning
    Earn a reward, leave, and rejoin. Check the result with fresh and existing test accounts, including a simulated failure path.
[ ] Validate important actions on the server
    Do not let client-provided values decide currency, inventory, wins, or purchase fulfillment without server checks.
[ ] Verify each purchase and reward path
    Check IDs, displayed prices, cancellation, duplicate receipt handling, and the correct reward. A visible shop alone is not proof of fulfillment.

PREPARE A RELEASE YOU CAN SUPPORT
[ ] Review current publishing requirements
    Check the destination experience's access, supported devices, content settings, and Roblox's current publishing requirements.
[ ] Make the public listing accurate
    Use screenshots and descriptions from your own finished version. Do not promise systems or rewards that are not available.
[ ] Play the published test version
    Verify joining, the core gameplay loop, UI, asset loading, and a return visit outside your local editing session.
[ ] Keep a recovery plan
    Save the release version, know how to return to a working build, and provide a way for players to report problems.
