My Role:

Quality Assurance Agent

Responsibilities / General Product Info:

I had a very minimal role in all of these products. For the first product, The Tale of Orpheus' Curse, i did some bug testing for a few weeks in the very early stages of its production. This adventure game is aimed at pre-teenagers, specifically kids who watch the Nickelodeon(tm) show, Are You Afraid of the Dark? The user navigates first-person through a haunted theater, illustrated by live video, still photos, and computer-generated images.

The remaining 3 products, Picture Pages, Busy Town and How Things Work, are aimed at preschool-age children. I did a little bug testing on the first release of each. Some sound samples from both Busy Town games can be downloaded for use as Mac alert signals from my "PC Toybox!" page.
