Beta Tester Agency, For both testers and developers

[aislingyngaio]

Hello everyone, whether you are a game developer or beta tester. The classic headache of a developer with a product approaching launch is getting enough good beta testers. Developers often must rely on a limited circle of friends, family or acquaintances, any or all of whom may lack the experience, interest or time to thoroughly debug a game. Testing is a demanding job which can require playing the games again and again and again while developers work on eliminating bugs, so having committed testers is a critical part of making games ready for release.

As for testers, what is it in for you? Well, sometimes it gets exhausting to maintain your presence at multiple game communities. Here, it's a pitstop for all the game projects currently being advertised. You can come and read all about projects from both established and budding developers, and help them take their first step into the industry, or join in to make an already good game even better!

Thinking on this, I've formed a new community, Ngaio Agency, where beta testers and developers can come together from different sites and communities. I envision this place as a pooling of beta projects (both shareware and freeware are accepted) and quality testers all in one place. Developers, here's your chance to finally be able to choose testers based on the recommendations of other developers. We ask only that you extend that same courtesy and review your testers when your project testing has reached completion. Who knows, your own tester reviews might even end up helping yourself in the future!

So please come have a visit with Ngaio Agency and read more about it, whether as a developer looking for testers, as testers looking to settle there for jobs, or just to say hi and help suggest improvements for this new site. Thank you! We currently have openings for ten testers to test a brand new RPG from Default Games named Götterdämmerung. Freebird Games will also be recruiting from the Agency once Chapter XI of their award-winning project, Quintessence: The Blighted Venom, is ready for beta testing. Get a start on the other testers, and prepare your tester resumes today!

Aisling is a friend of the site, and we'll hopefully be working with her agency for beta testing. So any of you game developers out there, have a look!
