Oh noes!

No, Pirate Ninja Bards.

My job isn"t a large part of the reason I post in this thread, it"s THE reason I do. You guys are a big chunk of the community that is currently interested in the game. I interact with the community by trying to keep it up-to-date and see what they (you) are thinking. That"s why you"ll see posts...

Oh noes I"m back to shill for 38 Studios again. And by shill, I mean post a link to some art that I think is really cool that my friends drew. Why do I post here? Because this forum has taken a more active interest than any other. I know every single one of you who gives a crap about the game...

"A quiet reverence hung within the grand chamber as the ministers of justice debated their verdict." Along with a brief interview with Todd McFarlane, IGN has revealed the final piece of <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/898/898055p1.html">concept art</a> that we unveiled at Comic-Con. If you...

Good. You"ve been hardened by the failures in the MMO market and should be able to jump into a game without expectations. It"s best to reserve your opinions about a game until it"s at a release level of quality (or at least what its developers deem it is so... even though I don"t agree with the...

In an interview from <a href="http://www.massively.com/2008/07/30/comic-con-08-38-studios-interview-reveals-ip-announcement-next/">Massively</a>: Do you have a timeline for when you"re going to be releasing some of that information? Mary: Our current plan is to announce the name of the game...

Nice.

Yes, talkischeap. It"s even cheaper when you make promises about game features before they are implemented and fun, especially if they end up not making it into the final game. That"s why we"re holding so much back; we want to talk about what we"ve done, not what we plan to do. That"s true.

Just because an engine has features doesn"t mean they all must be used, and just because some games using an engine have high system requirements doesn"t mean all games using that engine have to. An engine is a starting point. What a company does with that engine beyond the point of...

A truer statement has never been uttered.

I see what you mean. We"re pseudo talking about different things. The job you"re describing isn"t just "QA" in the game industry. Mike Kosenski is our VP of Product Development and is the man in charge of making sure we can meet our milestones at a high quality level while still enjoying...

Why compromise when there are people out there who have both game industry experience and IT world QA experience? It"s a little unfair to assume that people with game industry experience can"t have that skill set. For the same reason that I can"t assume an artist can"t have a great design...

There is a reason that we"re looking for a QA Manager this early in the project. Some companies wait to hire QA of any kind until they think they"re ready for "beta" (in quotes because most games go into beta well before they are in a beta state). This leads to mass chaos like missed milestones...
