well, that' hell of a job to be paid for. but in india, you won't be paid too well. would be a waste of your qualifications. and there' less headroom to grow.

The US would be a FAR better shot for game testing. People in India still think game-testing is a huge waste of time.

Like rpm said, India isnt the best place and it would be a waste of your qualifications.

Dude, Btech for game testing?
Give me a break.

Get into games development instead.

Good luck and Godspeed.

he' looking for easy fun money. which gave dev aint...by any standards

blufox · 07-12-2009

there is no fun money.
If he is looking for easy fun money, then he ll learn the lesson the difficult way that easiest path is not always the best path.

FYI. Game Testing is a lot harder than just playing games.

We have 2 Game Testers @ my firm, they get paid 20k a month, but they are also required to generate new idea's for games as well. Along with spending countless hours just running the same crappy Pre-Pre-Pre-Pre-First-Milestone Build of the game, and work out little kinks on their own.

The 2 guys we have, are massively experienced, they've been in the gaming industry for over 5 years now.

So, if your looking for an "easy" job, its not a good idea. Its a full-time+ job, I say + because you are expected to put in more than the usual 8 hours a day. More like 12.

^ so we have the insider view. add to that, a guy looking for a job where he can play a game over can of beer, and get new controllers every week... will be disappointed with this.

Aumkar™ · 07-12-2009

Yes, but game-testing can also be a lot of fun. Unforunately, my programming experience sax otherwise I wouldve looked for a game-testing job while in the US.

Plenty of creative gamers come up with ideas for games, and hence mods/maps/etc are made for games ( for those who actually put their mind to it ) Game testing doesnt require dexterity, it requires brains.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

blufox · 07-13-2009

Well thanks for the info Ad1.
I did not know about that.

Need to throw my green glasses away

.
If it is really that challenging then I guess it is fine.

Apologies for the noise, please ignore the blabber.

I thought you wanted to BUILD terminals?

P.S. EA, UbiSoft, Sega and Blizzard just downsized their workforce at their offices in the US. What's your qualification in and where from?

Aumkar™ · 07-13-2009

Well if he doesnt do something soon he may end up building bus terminals :/
