How do I become and alpha beta tester.
Hi,
Do you mean how do you become a paid beta tester?
It’s quite a hard field to get into nowadays as it’s becoming less common for devs to pay beta testers. With Kickstarter and Early access becoming so successful, most devs don’t have to pay people to Beta test any-more (infact, with early access Beta Testers pay the Devs for the honour of Beta Testing their game). This is understandable as indie devs usually don’t have the budget to pay for beta testers anyway.
The big companies don’t employ as many Beta testers either nowadays, as people are always chomping at the bit to test their new releases (DayZ, Hearthstone, DOTA 2 & Elder Scrolls online for example). Obviously they still do some in-house testing (although going but BF4, Sim City & NBA Live it doesn’t look like EA gives a shit about it anymore), so if you really do want to become a full time beta tester, you just have to apply to the companies directly, as you would with any other job.
It can be a very tedious job though, and it’s not as fun as you would expect. There’s a good article on it HERE
Best of luck, I hope this has been of some help :)
You guys get a chance to look into Echoes of Eridu? It’s an action Roguelike that’s based its gameplay off of the Megaman X series, There’s 9 days left on the kickstarter, too, and a little over halfway to the goal.
Hi! Yeah it’s a great game! I actually did a preview of it on IGM . We can’t post it on ABG though until they release a playable build of it to the public. As soon as they release one though, we’d love to cover it! :)
No Question, just wanted to say I’m really enjoying the content you guys are bringing and showing.
