Now that you have accepted some work, you should see a project window on the right side of the screen (A). The tutorial should give you the basic run down of a project's lifespan, but we'll recap here as well. ''Warning'', this section is very wordy!

There are four stages of completing a project. There is the design stage which is the first stage. In this stage, your designer(s) will design the product in question. If you mouse over the project window in this stage you should see one or more green bars being filled as your employees work. The best case scenario is to have these bars all the way filled, but be careful! '''If you leave the project in the design stage for too long, you'll actually lose progress.'''

If you mouse over the project window in this stage you should see one or more green bars (B) being filled as your employees work. The best case scenario is to have these bars all the way filled, but be careful! '''If you leave the project in the design stage for too long, you'll actually lose progress.'''

Once those bars are filled, you can hit '''Develop''' in the project window to advance to the next stage called '''Alpha'''. In this stage, your programmer(s) will create the project that was just designed. Again you'll see green (or red bars which represent art requirements) being filled. Unlike the design stage, you cannot leave this project for too long, as once your programmers and artists are done, they will stop working until you hit '''Promote''' to advance to the next stage.

The next stage is called '''Delay''' and is just an intermediate stage that will last for a set amount of time depending on the skill level of your employees. More skill = shorter delay stage. This stage will finish automatically soon.
