What does the process look like when removing a bug from your game? And how does the team decide which bugs to prioritize fixing?
Ask a Game Dev
DECEMBER 25, 2024
The overall process of bug fixing in game dev is done in five steps. In order these are: Identify the bug Prioritize the bug Assign the bug Fix the bug Verify the bug is fixed Each step usually has its own specialists handling that aspect of it. Well go over each of these briefly.

This also meant we had less dev time to fix bugs or optimize performance. In the end we’d rather tone down some of our more ambitious features to get acceptable performance, and deliver a bug-free and polished release to our players. We discovered that in some cases, it took twice as long as normal to implement features.

What are some signs that a layoff is coming? I recently joined and the game that I’m working on is being developed for years and has been delayed several times. We have a important release date coming up and on our recently tests we found a lot of bugs and some things just break the game, making it unplayable. People around here are already talking about delaying it again, but then we would miss the date which IMO would be the death of the game. Should I be already looking for a new job?

I also uploaded the dev build of the Delores engine (including the complete debugger) so you can run all your edits and changes. The other downside is these really are the dev tools we used to make the game, and like most in-house dev tools, they are poorly documented and very crude around the edges. Good question little Timmy.

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.
