The Four Career Paths a Game Dev Tester Can Take

 

There are a number of ways that someone can start down the path toward becoming a game dev tester. In fact, many people are already starting down that path, trying to learn what they can do to become a game dev tester and then move on to even better careers in the industry. Here are four of the bigger career paths available to anyone who wants into the gaming industry as a game dev tester.

 

Programmer

 

Programmers will need to have degrees in computer science or mathematics and a profound knowledge of languages like C++, Java and XNA. However, for many game dev testers, just working on games will give them many of these skills. A little extra college and some hard work in your job can quickly set you up for a position much higher in the hierarchy that will allow you to become a programmer in a few short years.

 

Designer

 

Designers are the men and women behind the ideas that games are built on. They develop the systems, the story, and the basic art style before anyone starts creating the game. They will also consult on the game throughout its development cycle so that the programmers, artists, and writers can have a set point to refer back to.

 

Artist

 

The artists will work to illustrate and animate the imagery from the game with their own specific style set. Those interested in becoming artists will need degrees in illustration and 3d animation from an accredited art school, but being a game dev tester can definitely help in getting started in the industry.

 

Producer

 

The producers are responsible for running the whole ship, telling men and women in every role how to get their jobs done. For a producer, the main skill that needs to be displayed is a knowledge of programming and organization – two things a tester has in spades.

 

For anyone interested in the gaming industry, the four careers above are things that you can very much be hopefully about getting involved with some day. While it might seem like a stretch that a game dev tester can someday become a game producer, the truth is that there are always people out there who are working their way up the ladder – why not you too?
