ABSTRACT
One thing we have not addressed so far is date formatting. Days and dates aren’t particularly useful for most game balance tasks (unless you’re dealing with timestamped analytics data from your game server), but it can be very useful for organizing your work, time, and schedule. While it is usually producers/project managers and not game designers tasked with scheduling and budgeting in larger game companies, for smaller projects (or even just to keep oneself organized, personally), the designer may come up with their own schedule. Spreadsheets offer a number of useful features to assist.
