À propos de cet audio

Working as a quality-assurance grunt in the gaming industry sounds like fun, right? You get to play the coolest new games before anyone else. And all you have to do is to find, reproduce, and report bugs before the last pixel is locked in and the games are launched to an eager public. Sure, there’s the unpaid overtime, the office politics, and the ever-present threat of layoffs. But you get to game!

But when a small third-party testing team is assigned to work on Blade Skill Online - a highly anticipated virtual reality MMORPG - they quickly find that some bugs are more serious than others, and some truly insidious features are "working as intended".

If our intrepid QA team wants to survive the launch cycle, they're going to have to break this game. Hard.

The story is mostly a chat log of QA testing this new game called blade art online (not to be confused with sword art online 😉).
Each chapter is relatively short and focused on a particular bug within the game.
It was an interesting experience.

Super slow build up but it's worth it

Disclosure notice: am a first-time Audible subscriber and am currently listening to all the free goodness, like this title.

Really enjoyed the voice actors. Big fan of Travis Baldree from Legends & Lattes. Thought that the entire ensemble did well.
Wasn't sure about the pacing at first, but you get to know the characters over time, bits and pieces about who they are apart from their usernames, and all the comments and dialogue from the early chapters comes full circle to total relevance in the last quarter of the audiobook.

If you're not sold on whether to try this, I heartily recommend it if you have a passion for games, for role-playing quirky characters, for excellent voice actors giving full cast performances and questionable situations that boggle the mind and are wholly incredulous. The endgame is definitely terrific, and the sign-off expected but still funny. Hope you do, and hope you enjoy. If not, it was still probably free. ;)

A fun flyby through the world of QA & videogames

Very fun listening experience, especially if you're familiar with SAO. The wide range of narrators do a great job.

Fun Listen

Loved it. Perfect balance of humor and tension with undeniably enjoyable characters. The format in which it's presented, as chat logs, is such a unique and fantastic experience and the voice cast is top notch.

Was a great listen from one of my favourite authors. Was disappointed at first to see such a short time but was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed every minute

This production is fun to listen to :-) Also, this is the very FIRST time that I've heard/read/watched an accurate portrayal of what a QA tester does!!! :-) :-) :-) This production shows that QA is a lot more than playing video games; a Tester must keep careful track of each of their moves in the game, so that they can tell the Programmers the steps required to recreate the bug, to help them know which particular section(s) of their software need attention. Previously, QA testers videotaped their gameplay (whereas it's likely that tech advances now enable gameplay to be recorded on/through the computer/emulator itself), to demonstrate what was on screen during their play, because some debugging is helped a lot by the Programmers being able to see game visuals up to and during the bug :-)

Oh, and, the characters in this Audible Original are very realistic; 2 thumbs up from me, based on my Psyc expertise and on my many years spent interacting with game-developer personnel.

Happily surprising, accurate portrayal of RL QA-ing! :-)
