Reverb Localization - A Keywords Studio

Why is testing so important to the video gaming cycle?
"A crash when pressing a button or a character falling unexpectedly are serious issues that need intense functionality testing. Some argue that it’s more important than localisation testing but they’re both equally as crucial to the process. Localisation digs out any missing text, ugly placeholders and misleading translations that will prevent the players from progressing. Incorrect instructions or a blank screen needs to be fixed as much as any crash or collision issue."

"Testing is important for every product, especially so for video games. It’s the final step and the guarantee that everyone did everything they could to provide the best product to customers and clients. Players deserve to get the most polished game possible. They are, after all, investing their time and money into the experience. Video games are such an important part of so many people’s lives. The biggest example of this was seen during the pandemic, where games acted as a link between people who were housebound during those trying times."
