A good applicant for level designer would send a demo CD containing 3D levels designed for another game, such as Quake or Half Life. Include a text file with your levels to give instructions on how to load the levels and to provide a brief summary of your thought processes that went into making the levels. Quality Assurance Game Tester QA game testers are a very important piece to the development puzzle. Playing and testing games are entirely two different things, as testing a game requires patience, a keen eye, and a creative flair to try and break the game in a myriad of ways. Game testers are brought on to help finish a product as it goes through its final stages of development.
Testers work in large teams to ensure that the entirety of the game has been checked for bugs.
Game testers are almost always brought on at a temporary basis, but good testers are sure to be promoted to permanent status after the project has shipped. Getting into QA is a good start to working your way up the ranks, but remember that a game tester must be local to our Southern California office and must be available to work full time, evenings and weekends.
