Here’s something that may especially be of interest to Train2Game students on the Games QA Tester course, the Open Beta period for T3 Entertainment’s MMO Hellgate has begun.
As Train2Game students will know, a Beta period not only acts as a good source of promotion for a game, it also allows users to essentially become QA Testers and report any bugs or problems they encounter.
The Hellgate Open Beta could therefore provide a Train2Game QA Tester with an opportunity to test their bug testing skills, while having some fun with a new game at the same time.
Hellgate is described as “an online, action RPG that allows you to play in a first-person or third-person perspective.”
Set in a near future where the gates of Hell have opened and Demons roam the earth, the game is based in London! Perhaps some Train2Game students would be interested in testing Hellgate purely for that reason.
To sign up for the Hellgate Open Beta, visit the official website and follow the Hellgate logo.
Hellgate is a free-to-play MMO, and as reported by the Train2Game blog just yesterday, freemium games can become very profitable for developers and publishers.
Train2Game students who want an in-depth look at how developing a free-to-play title can bring success should see this previous post on the Train2Game blog
So Train2Game, will you be joining the open beta? Do you see it as a good opportunity to test your abilities as a QA Tester?
