Gameplay Quality Assurance Intern

Are you passionate about video games and have an eye for detail? Do you enjoy testing the limits of a game’s mechanics and finding ways to improve player experience? If so, Castix has the perfect opportunity for you! We are seeking a Gameplay Quality Assurance (QA) Intern to help fine-tune our medieval fantasy game as we prepare for launch.

As a Gameplay QA Intern, you will be among the first to explore unreleased levels, analyzing maps for playability, balance, and functionality. Your primary role will be testing levels and identifying issues, but your insights will also help shape level design adjustments and player experience enhancements. This is your chance to be on the front lines of game development, making sure every dungeon, battlefield, and hidden passage feels immersive and polished.

Responsibilities:

• Playtest and thoroughly explore levels/maps to ensure they are balanced, engaging, and free of issues.
• Identify, document, and report bugs, glitches, and inconsistencies in level design and mechanics.
• Analyze level playability, suggesting modifications to improve flow, pacing, and player experience.
• Provide structured feedback on map layouts, enemy placements, environmental storytelling, and other gameplay elements.
• Collaborate with the development team, ensuring identified issues are understood and addressed.

Qualifications:

• Must have access to a PC with Windows or Linux (our testing client is currently not suitable for Macs).
• A passion for video games and a willingness to learn new gameplay mechanics.
• Experience playing online PC games/MMORPGs is a plus, but not required.
• Attention to detail and a methodical approach to testing.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and analyze gameplay issues.
• Basic written communication skills for documenting bugs and providing feedback.

Additional Information:

• This is an unpaid internship, though it may be eligible for course credit.
• We are open to any major/degree type
• The internship is fully remote, and interns will need to use their own equipment.
• This is a task-based internship, offering flexible hours to accommodate different schedules.
• Interns will report to a senior team member, who will provide guidance and mentorship throughout the program.
• You may need to communicate across various time zones, as our team is globally distributed.
