My Experience At Virtuos
Introduction
From September 2022 to June 2023, I was in a QA Testing internship at Virtuos Paris. I've worked on two different projects:
-
MAHOKENSHI, an AA RPG project
-
JUDAS, an AAA narrative FPS project
Note : Mahokenshi has been released in January 2023
MAHOKENSHI:
As a QA Tester
Even if it wasn't about Game or Level Design, I've learned a lot during this internship about the production of AAA games, the daily use of English at work, and the tools used. Being a QA tester also allowed me to work with a lot of different jobs!
​
Also, I was the only QA with my lead on these projects. It also allowed me to develop my autonomy. There were times when other QA’s joined me during a time course. So I had to onboard them on projects, preparing in advance various documents on how we work.
​
I have met a lot of interesting people with unique careers, it was a great opportunity to talk with Game and Level Designers, Artists, Programmers, and Producers.
Other opportunities
During my internship, I also greeted high school students to tell them about my background, the industry, and the work of QA Tester. It was inspiring to see them already eager to learn. It also challenged my ability to present projects to people who don’t know game development.
That's me!
