This Test Could Make or Break My Engine

On the surface, it might sound like a small step but behind this test is months of work, late nights, countless bugs, and an entire editor system built from scratch. Building the editor was one of the hardest parts of this journey. It's a small feature, but a huge step for my engine.

How to build successful VR games as a solo developer

JANUARY 3, 2023
Building video games has never been a simple task. Build on your strengths. Otherwise, you could be facing more bugs, challenges, or a game that just won’t run well. You can have a brilliant idea for a game, but without the right skills, tools and resources, it can be near-impossible to tackle by yourself.

I remember watching a documentary on the development of Jedi: Fallen Order and seeing a part where they are focusing on a stable build. They apparently had 1,000+ bugs they needed squashed to accomplish this. As a gamer, this seems like an unrealistic amount. Is it? How is it possible they were able to not only introduce, but also find that many bugs? Even for a studio that’s a subsidiary of Electronic Arts, I can’t imagine the Quality Assurance team finding even over 100. Sorry for the longer question, but this always blew my mind. Thanks!

How do they find that many bugs? Imagine 50 testers each find only five bugs a day from a full eight hours of testing. That's logging a combined 250 bugs daily. In a week, you've got 1,250 bugs. After a month, that's 5,000 bugs. A year would be 60,000 bugs. I'm currently working on bug number 474,991.
