How Long Does the Review Process Usually Take?

Introduction

If you have submitted a game concept to CMON, you may be wondering how long the review process usually takes. Review times can vary depending on submission volume and the complexity of the concept, but CMON evaluates submissions in the order they are received whenever possible.

This article explains what affects review timing, how to help avoid delays, and what happens after your submission is in the queue.

How the review process works

Once your game concept is submitted, it enters the review queue. The CMON team may compare it against current priorities, publishing needs, and the overall fit of the concept before moving forward.

Because each submission is different, there is no fixed review time for every project. Some concepts may be reviewed sooner, while others may take longer depending on the number of submissions being handled at the time.

What can affect review timing

• Submission volume at the time your concept is received
• The complexity and completeness of the game concept
• How closely the concept matches CMON’s current publishing priorities
• Whether the contact details and supporting files are clear and complete

How to help avoid delays

To help the team review your submission as efficiently as possible, make sure your materials are complete and easy to understand before you send them.

1. Provide accurate contact information so CMON can reach you if needed.
2. Include all required submission details requested in the form.
3. Label your files clearly so the review team can identify them quickly.
4. Make sure any rulebooks, images, or other supporting files are organized and easy to open.

What happens if CMON is interested

If CMON is interested in your concept, the team will contact you using the email address you provided in your submission.

If you do not hear back right away, your submission may still be under review. Please allow time for the team to evaluate concepts in the order they were received.

Additional information

For the best submission experience, review your materials carefully before sending them and keep a copy of everything you upload. If your contact details change after submission, make sure they remain up to date so CMON can reach you if needed.
