    This is a companion thread to all the "how do you get started" topics. For those who have finished games and published them some place, like the app store or steam or on your website etc. How do you like to celebrate? Here are some suggestions:

    1) Bring out the champagne
    2) Get drunk on cheap lager
    3) Buy yourself some chocolate
    4) Run to the top of a mountain and shout. "I've done it! I've finally done it!"
    5) The jobs not over yet! No time for celebrating. Got to do updates, marketing, blog entries, promos, YouTube videos.....
    6) Have a little cry because you loved working on that game so much and now it's finished. :(
    7) Wander the streets aimlessly having nothing to do.
    8) Sit by the computer endlessly clicking update on the sales reports.
    9) Book yourself a holiday.
    10) Get started on your next game.
    11) Other...

    I'm beginning to think that's your answer to everything. ;)

    12)Roll a phattie and do the requisite with it. I can't code for two days after a mild drunk.. Then I ignore it and move on. I am not a marketing or sales guy.. I am into processes. I make things to stay amused, not make money. The cool thing is folks pay me to do this. Doing it in Unity is even cooler.

    We have just completed a huge release on Monday. We celebrated with Champagne and Mario Kart 8. Now we start planning for live ops and new features.

    No celebration whatsoever. The party doesn't begin until after we see the first day of revenue.

    Running naked on the streets. To make it more effective, your neighborhoods should be watching you! :eek:

    By playing it so much you get sick of it and wish you had never made it.

    Well I just published my first game for Android today. So far I've been celebrating by trying every zero budget marketing thing I can think of.
    Night before release I celebrated with lots of beer to savor the awesome feeling of having a finished app that was one click away from hitting the market. I knew tonight I'd be too anxious about whether it's doing well or not to really enjoy myself.
