Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are looking for a developer who will work with Pixels to Players to create a platform to collect player information during game testing. Our goal is to establish a centralized and scalable playtesting program for development teams to do by remote. This includes video recording and audio transcription, form submissions, scoring assessments and data-base management.

This is a continuation of an Alpha version created earlier this year.

A technical document is available with additional information including links: to access the source code, to access the database and RESTful API documentation.

Candidates should be familiar with Vue, Javascript, HTML and Firebase. Repository is Github.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

The successful candidate will:

- prototype Video Record Playtest in Figma to implement and ensure proper workflow and UX design principles.

- author customer user story that addresses game developer testing needs (templates provided)

- write and submit source code to the repository under an MIT License

-follow developer workflow as outlined in our Project Readme (eg. QA branching, Push/Pull Requests)

- implement UI features that align with our design principles


How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project.

We will support interns:

  • with weekly check ins and meaningful communication
  • by providing resources for product onboarding and knowledge building
  • mentorship and access to industry experts for consultation
  • co-created tasks that align with personal strengths
