Video games

A hobby then a job in video games.

Video games

I have begun video games in late eighties as simple and young player. After, i have followed hardwares, games evolutions and my interest for video games industry has increased over the years. When i could follow a quality assurance tester formation, i took this way which has common points and links with web. That allowed me new perspectives for future.

With my formation, i have won a new view on games, more critical. I have learned to find, analyse and report bugs. I’ve had more interest for some games aspects, like gamedesign, so i have readed gamedesign books. I think, it’s an advantage for tester to understand why conceptors take some decisions in game concepts. The tester can more improve the game in test phases.

For my personal website Dol Celeb about fantasy, i often write actuality and test articles on games.

You’ll can find under this introduction my general profile in this domain. For more details, visit QA Testeur section (with professionals and personnals experiences) and Player section for my player profile and experiences.
