Testers?

Did you have testers on any of your games? If yes, what do you need do in order to become a tester for a telltale game?

Hi Wicked,

Sometimes Telltale has people in to the office to play test their games. I did this with CSI twice, and also The Great Cow Race. It's a lot of fun, but you'd have to fly in from Bucharest.

The best part of doing the testing this way (in my opinion) is that it meant my feedback went to the designers immediately. They could stand behind me and watch how I played and ask questions, in real time, about why I did something a certain way.

So any avid adventure game lover could fly in and test a game for a short while?

If you're crazy enough to fly to San Francisco for an afternoon, sure. That seems a little over the top though.
