20 years in games, from QA and localization to content and coordinationMy journey ↗
In-game testing is paid by the hour, and much of that time goes to reaching the text, not reading it: replaying a chapter for one line of dialogue, farming gold to open a shop, waiting for nightfall. A few debug tools take testers straight to the words. I spent years as an LQA tester, and this is the list I wish every build had shipped with.
Replay 40 minutes of chapter 3 to check one fixed line, then describe where it is in a bug report.
Jump to the dialogue by its ID, check it, switch to English to compare, screenshot it as CH3_MIRA_014.png. Two minutes.
Top pick saves the most hours for the least work.Tick what your build already has. The rest is your to-do list.
Send me the list of what your build can do. With these tools in place, I can scope in-game testing more precisely, and you pay for checking text, not for getting to it. You don't need all of them: the top picks alone make a real difference.
