Game Tester |
This is where many people make their entry into the industry.
There are also many myths surrounding this job. Being a game
tester involves a lot more than playing games. And it is not
all fun. Game testers play unfinished versions of games with
tons of bugs in them. Games that are in such early stage of
development are very little fun anf mostly frustrating to play.
Every bug and error that you find needs to be written down and
documented so that the programmers can sort it out. A good game
tester is the programmer’s worst nightmare. A good game
tester finds those bugs that nobody else will ever find, or
almost nobody. You will be surprised to know how much weird
stuff some people out there put their games through. The game
testers’ job is to find those bugs before the game is
released and to make sure that the programmers fix those bugs.
Many game tester don’t work full time, they are often
called in when the production reach is final stage. Again, this
is a great job for a person who wants to get into the game biz.
Many people have worked their way up from game testing to a
getting a position on the design team.

we highly recommend that you check out what educational opportunities
you have available. A good start is to contact schools and colleges
