Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technology of video games has progressed a great deal since the creation of the first video game systems. An example of an earlier video game would be Pong. In this game two players would control simple lines that could only go up or down on the screen. These lines were controlled by paddles and the point of the game was to hit the bouncing ball and make your opponent miss it. The video games of today are much more advanced than that. They offer multiple genres of games that are sure to meet the interests of almost any person. Most of them can also be played online which offers an entire new experience in itself. Some people may not take the profession of video game testing as a serious career. Video game testing is actually quite important in the development of a game, some would argue that they are just as important as the programmers. The main job of a game tester is to go through a game, level by level, scene by scene, and make sure that everything is working correctly and that the game is functioning up to par. You will need some knowledge in programming and you will need an eye that pays very close attention to detail. In most cases, the difference between a top seller and a game that does not do well at all is attention to detail. Let Us Know What You Think!

Learn How You Can Earn up to $120 An Hour Or More… By Playing Video Games! Dear Game Lover, Are you sick and tired of running around in circles... are you frustrated because you haven’t found the right answers to online success for yourself? If you are suffering any of these situations then I have to tell you something very *important*... Being able to make money online isn’t as hard as it may seem.Hey I’m not kidding… There was a time when I too was frustrated… I used to work for long hours just to make ends meet. I hated the idea of getting up early only to get stuck in traffic, bosses ordering me what to do, and wasting my whole day in the office. Then I step into online business and tried all kinds of those ‘so called’ moneymaking systems, but they just never seemed to work. People were making money by getting me to do what they do. I invested my hard-earned money and in return I didn't even get the resources to get me off the ground. Everything turned to be scam… Finally, after countless hours and thousands of dollars of research I discovered a very easy and fail proof method to reach financial freedom. I do make money every single day…in fact every hour. No kidding! I have discovered such an easy method that allows me to have all that I wished for in my long hour jobs but never actually got any. Now I’m here To Share My Path to Success and Information with You!Before I reveal my fool-proof, super-easy money making method, let me ask you a question: Would you like to make a decent hourly rate just to play and test video games? Isn’t its great? If you are on this page it clearly shows you have a passion for video games. And I strongly believe that if passion turns into profession the resultant is *unlimited income*. So, I advice you to: Turn Your Passion into Your Profession You know… over 200 game companies are willing to pay you just to test their games. These companies want you to be a game tester and give them your advice on their developed games and in return they will pay you handsome sum of money. I’m a living example of it. It would be right if I say this is an era of Internet and Video Games. Today the game industry is over a $60 billion business. The companies that release their produced games with bugs in them will cause them a loss of millions of dollars. And no good company will ever want that. So, they think it a good idea to pay hundreds of dollars to gamers just to point out the glitches in their games. So they can release bug-free games and customers will not return their games. Okay… imagine this. You are a gamer and you buy a new video game that crashes every time your character shoots the enemy. It is obvious that you will not like the game and will never recommend it to anyone else. This will be a serious setback for the game company which had invested millions of dollars in the development of the game. And when no one buy their games due to the bad word-of-mouth advertising... the result is obvious: they will lose millions! “Then… What Are There Programmers For?” Well, programmers are not gamers. So they cannot find the bugs that a video-game tester will. If a company is paying you $50 an hour just to test video games for them that would otherwise ruin the game experience and quite possibly hurt their sales. Then what’s wrong in it? Isn't it a good deal? 5 Good Reasons Why Playing Video Games Is An Extremely Easy Way To Earn Money! 1. No Pre-Requisite No formal education is required to be a video game tester. 2. Top Paid Game Testers earn up $120 Per Hour Starting out You can earn $10 - $120 an hour being a video game tester. 3. Get the Games for FREE You keep the games you test without paying a dime. 4. video game system -You only need one video game system to become a video game tester. 5.

Book excerpt: If you know nothing about game development, you're basically me before I started working on my first game DARQ. This book assumes no knowledge of game development on the reader's part. As a first-time developer with no prior experience in coding, modeling, texturing, animation, game design, etc., I managed to launch DARQ to both commercial success and critical acclaim. With zero dollars spent on marketing, it was featured in major media outlets, such as IGN, Kotaku, PC Gamer, GameSpot, Forbes, and hundreds of others. Ultimately, DARQ became #42 Most Shared PC Video Game of 2019, according to Metacritic, with the average user rating of 9 out of 10. In my book, I'm sharing with you exactly how I did it. The book guides you through a step-by-step process of making a game: from downloading a game engine to releasing your first commercial title. The book features advice from 15 industry professionals, including Mark Kern (team lead of World of Warcraft), Quentin De Beukelaer (game designer of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed Unity, Ghost Recon Breakpoint), Bjorn Jacobsen (sound designer of Cyberpunk 2077, Divinity: Fallen Heroes, Hitman), Austin Wintory (Grammy-nominated composer of Journey, ABZÛ, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate), and others. The foreword is written by my mentor John Corigliano, Oscar, Pulitzer Prize, and 5-time Grammy Award-winning composer.

Throughout, he addresses crucial issues ranging from code design to performance optimization, offering realistic solutions for developers, QA specialists, and testers. Coverage includes • Understanding automated testing and TDD • Building effective automated testing workflows • Testing code for both browsers and servers (using Node.js) • Using TDD to build cleaner APIs, better modularized code, and more robust software • Writing testable code • Using test stubs and mocks to test units in isolation • Continuously improving code through refactoring • Walking through the construction and automated testing of fully functional software The accompanying Web site, tddjs.com, contains all of the book’s code listings and additional resources.
