“[Student] was great to have here, he gave us some invaluable feedback on the game flow from a new user perspective and found a lot of issues ranging from minor text to major functionality. He’s clearly very passionate about the games industry, and it shows with his work ethic. Honestly, there’s really no negative feedback I could put here, if you told me he’d been testing for a year, I’d believe you.”
Mark Steggall - QA Manager, Wonderstruck Games
“[Student] did an excellent job. He integrated with the team well, got his head around the game he was on fast (even though it wasn’t similar to games he would typically play), and productively contributed bug reports in a useful format. It was very useful to have him in the office.”
Matthew Wiggins - Founder, Mojiworks
“Overall [Student] has been very useful and I’m happy with his performance. He was able to follow direction easily and get through the test plans / passes with minimal supervision. The tasks were also done thoroughly and efficiently.”
Dzan Wong - QA Manager, 22cans
“It’s been great having [Student] in the studio this week! We are only 3 weeks until master now, so it is a very busy time for us and [Student] got stuck right in helping out with giving feedback balancing, and has been entering some bugs via our internal bug database. He picked everything up no problem and has been confident and professional working with the team. It’s been a pleasure having him in the office and we hope that he had a good week, and found it beneficial to his learning :)”
Jo Kheller - Producer, Two Point Studios
