Guest Big Time Software Posted December 17, 1999 Share Posted December 17, 1999 Yup, that was me doing QA Quality Assurance, at least how we defined it at Impressions (Sierra) includes testing for bugs, play balancing, improvement suggestions, scenarios, and compatibility testing. In short, QA are the folks that are supposed to keep the development and marketing elements in check There were various other things we did, but that is the bulk of the work. LoR was the big one I was in charge of testing. Man, that was some ride... I also worked on the Win95 and Mac ports of Caeser II (a bit more than just QA), same for the Mac port of Lords of the Realm II, QA'd Casino Deluxe II (er, I think it was a II!), and spent significant time on something that was killed off. There were other projects too, like localizing REL for German and French, same for LoRII. But then I moved on to be a Producer for Civil War Generals 2. The Producer is the guy that coordinates the development and makes sure things get done right, on time, and on budget. I was also the defacto QA Manager for that project as well, and had to do a whole lot with the marketing end of things too (including making sure corporate HQ didn't kill us off for a RTS game, I kid you not!). Very hands on, stressfull job There you go Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guachi Posted December 19, 1999 Share Posted December 19, 1999 Steve, On LotR2, who was it that made that silly song? I was going through the directory of all the sounds and one of the files is a completely ridiculous song of various sounds in the game with a really cheesy drumbeat as backup. Man, I cracked up when I heard that for the first time. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted December 19, 1999 Share Posted December 19, 1999 Jason, That was Keith, the sound/music guy. I litterlly fell on the floor laughing when I heard that! I had been listening to those voices for about 16hrs a day for several weeks, and then to hear them doing a rap was hysterical. Pure brilliance! Keith is a very tallented guy, and a good person to boot. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
