Developer Oxide Games has posted the latest video dev diary for its upcoming grand strategy game Ara: History Untold. This entry is a bit different in that the dev diary’s host, Steven Bell, chats with Oxide Games QA Analyst Zai Jeffries about testing this upcoming game, and how to test a 4X strategy game in general.
Jeffries states that in testing, you have to find what he calls the “golden path” in a game, where a player is most likely to go. He stated:
You can never really know 100% but you can take a good guess at it and one of the first ways to do that is by just before testing, play a little bit.
