A behind the scenes look at Age of Conan’s beta testing
Strike teams. That’s what Lead Designer Ole Herbjørnsen calls the teams involved in the internal beta testing for Age of Conan. Beta testing is now in full swing and in the latest Behind the Scenes article on the Age of Conan community website Herbjørnsen reveals that “it’s very busy but going very well!”
Herbjørnsen explains the decision to divide the testers into teams that tackle the various areas of the game as such: “Having ‘teams within the team’ as it were allows us to focus on specific areas in much more detail. It also ensures that each area gets that special ‘hand crafted’ feel that individual attention gives it. Each of the teams is deeply invested in making their area of the gameworld as good as it possibly can be!”
Everything is being tweaked to perfection, and the whole team behind Age of Conan opted to make sure that every element of the game – lighting, textures, even the seemingly inconsequential small stuff – is in top form before they release any screenshots. Talk about dedication, and with each testing team having designers, world builders and QA members to ensure that everything is coming along nicely, it looks like Age of Conan will be one heck of a sweet morsel for fans to sink their teeth into.
