#QA is the most important part of #gamedevelopment. It's where you find all the fun #bugs

#gameQA #games #game #indiegame #indiegames #indiegameQA

Made a little compilation of bugs and issues encountered in the development of Lab 77. Thankfully they were all fixable, and were fixed before release.

PlayStation’s VideoGameQA-Bench Tests AI on Real Game QA Tasks PlayStation’s VideoGameQA-Bench tests how AI handles real game QA tasks, from visual regressions and glitches to bug report generation.

PlayStation is testing how AI handles real game QA work. From visual regressions and glitches to writing bug reports, VideoGameQA-Bench shows where AI helps and where it still struggles.

Black-and-white cartoon. A game tester at a desk plays a 2D platformer and says, “Why’s it doing that?!” A cat on the chair, labelled “QA,” thinks: “Dev forgot the wall. Collision by vibes.” Humour about bug discovery and collision issues in game QA.

QA isn’t “know every tool”. It’s weaponised curiosity. Start with not knowing, ask “what if I break it nicely?”, poke the bit that should work. I stopped chasing flawless; now I ask “why’s it doing that?!” Odd questions = great bugs. #GameQA #GameDev #Testing

Black-and-white illustration by Kelina Cowell showing a person walking down a clear path labelled “QA Career Path” with a mug in hand. Beside them, a cat wearing a backpack thinks, “Dry paws, solid progress.” Off to the side is a small pond with stepping stones labelled “Game Dev,” “Designer,” and “Artist,” plus a note reading “Repro steps pls.” The artwork symbolises choosing QA as a dedicated career path in the games industry rather than a stepping stone to other roles.

Tired of hearing “QA’s just a stepping stone”? Nah. Some of us actually want to stay here. I’m not passing through - I’m building a career in QA. Systems, bugs, edge cases - that’s the fun bit. #GameQA #Testing #GameDev #IndieDev

Black-and-white comic illustration of a video game tester discovering a bug. A surprised tester sits at a desk, exclaiming “Crazy bug found! Uncontrollable jumping!” while a cat perched on the chair’s back thinks, “hmmm… edge case. Feline interference.” Artwork by Kelina Cowell, 2025. Humorous take on QA testing and game bugs caused by pets.

QA has officially broken my ability to play games like a normal human.
Now I’m spotting UI stutters from the sofa and mentally drafting repro steps.
Curiosity + caffeine + controlled chaos = QA life.
#GameQA #Testing #GameDev #BugsAreContent

Game Academy bootcamp: done.
QA: very much not done with me.

Six weeks of caffeine, chaos and concept pitches — and somehow nothing caught fire.
Now it’s just me, my battered laptop, and a Notion board called “Learn This or Cry.”

We learned some important #GameQA and #playtesting lessons during the development of Lab 77: the importance of planning, patience, testing and observation. Now we want to give back to other #indiegamedevs and help your games succeed. Check out:

From the beginning of Lab 77's production #gameQA was at the forefront of the planning and #gamedesign. This included continuous #playtesting and bug hunting, which resulted in plenty of funny moments:

This is one of the most fun bugs I encountered while making Lab 77. It was caused by a major miscalculation in both terraform movement and physics based movement causing S539-77 to rocket up past the ceiling of the level into the cosmic void.

How does QA really differ between AAA and indie studios?

Just dropped a short comparing how quality assurance teams function at both ends of the industry, and why it matters for devs.

How does your team handle regression testing?

Just dropped a short on the real job of bug verification in QA — making sure fixes hold and side effects don’t slip in.

Devs — what makes a great bug report in your book?

Just dropped a QA short on how clear bug reports can save your sanity (and your sprint).

What does Quality Assurance really mean in your studio?

Just dropped a short breaking down the misunderstood core of QA in game development — far beyond “testing.”

QA devs — how painful has platform-specific QA been for your team?

Just dropped a short on why platform testing is crucial.

It's always fun to look at the bugs you encountered while developing a game, especially when you know that they have been solved and are not in the final version of the game. Which bug is your favourite?

Being a #solodev making #indiegames means doing #playtesting, content recording, #GameQA and more all at the same time. Makes your head spin sometimes having to wear all these hats at the same time, but that's #indiegamedev.

#gamedev #indiegame #indiegames

First playthrough of the latest #playtesting build has added five more bugs to the list. The #GameQA work never stops.
