Hyenas

Out Of Place In Space

I was a Senior Embedded Quality Assurance Tester on the World Team as part of the Console Development Team for Hyenas for 2 and a half years. I began as a Junior Embedded QA Tester and worked my way to Senior over the course of my tenure at Creative Assembly.

My responsibilities included the following:

• Testing of the various levels within the game to ensure no issues arose from a world perspective, this included such things as collision, the functionality of world objects, eg doors, props, interactable objects, and the various loot boxes and vaults.

• Testing of level flow and providing feedback from a QA and Player perspective.

• Working both in the game and as editor to ensure no unforeseen issues arose between builds or submissions.

• Running gameplay matches between key shareholders for the game.

• Liaising with designers as and when required to help test and develop levels and gameplay elements.

• Supporting and training new members of the QA team. Having a key role in the promotion of members from the Core QA team to the embedded team.
