There are a lot of reasons why someone might want to check out a guide like T Dub Sanders'. One might be interested in the underside of the game testing field. Others might just want to know what they can gain from a guide that is written to help people understand their role in the gaming industry. Others still are just pining for that ultimate career working alongside game developers and designers.

Whatever the reason, T Dub Sanders has put together one of the biggest and best game testing guides on the market – one that shows the underpinnings of the career in their raw, real format. There are no false promises of automatic testing or sitting at home and playing the newest games for hundreds of dollars a day.

That stuff is all pretty much a pipe dream and most people know it – yet many guide writers try to tell everyone that they can become the biggest and best new game testers in a field that doesn't really exist every day and too many fall for it. On the other hand, what T Dub has put together is a much more realistic, much more comprehensive look at what game testing is really about – the hard work and dedication that goes into becoming someone in charge of all that code each day.

By showing what it really takes to be a game tester, T Dub opens up an actual, realistic path to getting into the industry. He showcases skills needed to get started as a tester, the classes or college majors that people better be willing to invest in if they want to be a professional in this field and much more to help them figure out not only if the career path is right for them but if they are going to be cut out for it. That means a great deal for someone who may or may not know exactly what a game tester does and how it operates.

For anyone that is thinking about taking the path toward becoming a game tester, one of the first things that needs to be done is to learn more about what the career entails. Those people should pick up T Dub's newest guide and get a real insider's look at the job and how it really works. If you're serious about doing what T Dub shows you, you'll be on the fast track toward game testing in no time flat.

Day 819 to Day 832: Final Push, Country Founders and Last Closed Beta

April 7, 2013

The Final Push

Well with just over 3 weeks until our planned Open Beta it feels like this is the Final Push.  All the core functionality is coming together.  The UI is being finished off.  The To Do list is getting manageable.   On the programming side the To Do list was over 150 most times, is now down to around 50.  I look forward to our last Closed Beta starting April 16th, and then finally our Open Beta starting April 30th.  It has been a challenging road, but we have learned much along the way, and look forward to bringing WorldAlpha to a larger audience.

Country Founders

Over the last few weeks, we have had a few more Country Founders sign up.  Here are the countries that we have thus far.

Lunar Empire

Lunar Empire

Eagle Nation

Eagle Nation

United Republic

United Republic States

EGE

Earth Galactic Empire

Plus we had another country founder sign up yesterday, but we haven’t received the name, and there will be one additional admin-led country.  So, thus far 6 countries, and we can add more if anyone is interested, you can sign-up for a Founder’s Pack, and find out more details about Country Founders here.

Last Closed Beta and Open Beta Dates

Our seventh and final beta is going to take place on April 16th to April 22nd.   We want to make this our biggest and best beta thus far.  So, for all of those who have beta tested thus far, please come back and give it a final look through.  We appreciate all the input our beta testers have had, and the changes that have resulted from hearing from our dedicated citizens.    If you have beta tested before you can just login with the same email and password.  For someone who needs a beta key you can get one here:
