The in-game map plays a critical role in helping players explore and complete objectives. However, the product’s development team faced challenges ensuring the map effectively guided players without causing frustration.

Players frequently reported feeling lost due to the map’s unclear layout and limited functionality. This confusion disrupted gameplay flow and diminished overall player satisfaction.

Our QA team conducted thorough playthroughs of the entire game, focusing on areas where players were most likely to become disoriented. We documented specific pain points and offered detailed recommendations to improve map clarity, usability, and navigation aids.

The developer implemented our feedback, resulting in a more intuitive and user-friendly map. This enhancement improved player orientation, reduced frustration, and contributed to a smoother, more enjoyable gameplay experience.

The game was progressing through development but lacked complete documentation to guide testers through its complex levels. This gap slowed testing cycles and complicated onboarding of new QA personnel.

Incomplete or inconsistent documentation extended the time required for thorough testing, increasing costs and risk of missed issues. New testers especially struggled to familiarize themselves quickly with the game’s progression.

Our QA team developed and maintained clear, easy-to-follow walkthroughs for each level, covering objectives, enemy encounters, and puzzle solutions. This resource became a central reference point that standardized testing procedures and accelerated onboarding.

The walkthroughs significantly improved testing efficiency and consistency. New team members were able to ramp up faster, while overall test coverage became more reliable and helped to ensure a higher quality final product.
