Quality Assurance Game Tester @ Re-Logic Games
First and foremost - no, the dates are not a typo. Yes, I was in this role when I was about 12 years old. During that time, I evaluated beta versions of the hit indie game Terraria for bugs and gameplay issues prior to shipping out major community updates.
Fun Facts
As of February 2022, Terraria has sold 44 million copies worldwide.
At the time of my recruitment, I was only 12 years old, making me the youngest quality assurance tester on the team by a mile.
Terraria was never projected to become as large as it did.
My experience with Re-Logic games was what fueled my initial interest in software development.
