Project Description
A wholesome, music-filled arcade rhythm game in which a young, reclusive rocker goes on a journey of self-discovery. Once she begins to follow her dreams and finds her inner voice, she discovers that it is LOUD!
Objective 1:
Enabling Seamless Xbox Controller Support for Enhanced Gameplay
The client aimed to provide Xbox controller compatibility, ensuring players could enjoy the game smoothly on a variety of devices and setups.
While the game supported controllers, some interactions were inconsistent and keybinds were not always clearly displayed, causing confusion and disrupting the player experience.
Our QA team conducted comprehensive testing exclusively using Xbox controllers. We identified problematic control schemes and UI inconsistencies, collaborating closely with the developers to fine-tune responsiveness and usability. Additionally, we verified that all keybinds appeared correctly whenever a controller was connected, enhancing user clarity.
The game achieved fully functional, intuitive Xbox controller support. Players experienced smoother gameplay and clearer controls, contributing to higher satisfaction and broader accessibility.
Objective 2:
Ensuring Multilingual Text Accuracy and Font Compatibility
The client added multiple new languages to reach a global audience. Accurate text rendering, especially for languages with unique characters, was critical to maintain immersion and professionalism.
Some languages, particularly Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, presented display issues due to font limitations. Additionally, diacritical marks in various languages were inconsistently rendered, detracting from readability and player experience.
Our QA specialists conducted a detailed review of every language option, carefully inspecting diacritical marks and character sets. We identified problematic languages requiring font updates and provided actionable reports to the developers, who then implemented necessary font changes.
The game’s multilingual presentation became polished and consistent, with all languages rendered correctly. This improvement supported a more inclusive player base and strengthened the game’s global appeal.
Objective 3:
Verifying Achievement Accuracy to Reward Player Progress
The client introduced a system of achievements aimed at increasing player engagement and replayability. Ensuring these achievements worked as intended was key to maintaining player motivation.
The development team needed to confirm that all achievements unlocked reliably and correctly in various gameplay scenarios to avoid frustrating players and reduce negative feedback.
Our QA team rigorously tested every achievement by completing the required actions under different conditions. We tracked each unlock event and reported inconsistencies or bugs, allowing the developers to promptly address issues.
All achievements functioned reliably upon release, enhancing player satisfaction and fostering a rewarding game experience that encouraged continued play.
Objective 4:
Ensuring Seamless DLC Integration
The client expanded its game with a major downloadable content (DLC) pack, introducing new songs and achievements to the player base.
The developer required thorough testing to ensure the DLC integrated seamlessly with the base game and that all new achievements unlocked correctly.
Our QA team extensively tested the DLC content, verifying gameplay stability, song completion, and achievement triggers. We identified any conflicts or issues between the DLC and base game, collaborating with the developers to ensure a smooth player experience.
The DLC launched without major issues, delivering new content that players could enjoy immediately. Accurate achievement tracking reinforced player engagement and satisfaction with the expanded game world.
