Within the Game Design program here at Villa Maria, the Senior Graduating Class of 2025 needs play testers for their final project of the year. This project will be ever changing and adapting based off of the feedback they receive from play testers who will help test different aspects of their game. To make sure enough time and effort is put into received feedback, students are only conducting one play test at a time, but do require many play testers to make a successful impact on the development process. Your name can be added to the credits of the game as an official play tester, if you so choose!
Play Testing will occur every Monday & Wednesday until the end of the semester, from 9:30am – 2:30pm in the DMAC. If you’d like to be a play tester but cannot make it to any of the time slots, contact Nicholas Velasquez at [email protected] to schedule another date/time.
