And funnily enough some are good enough at complaining that the devs PAY them to get their complainings. I heard they're called QA.

Seriously though, efficiently complaining is a rare and invaluable skill...

On the one hand, you have the QA that goes "hey do you know why XXX doesn't work? *links screenshot*"
=> doesn't work HOW AND WHEN YOU ABSOLUTE DOOFUS OF A SMOOTH-BRAINED TIME-WASTER??

On the other hand, you have the QA that goes "On this version and with that configuration, I did this exact sequence of actions at those exact timestamps and I observed AAA while spec requirement n°1234 states that it should be BBB. The program did not crash. Here are the error logs, I noticed this one "blabla error at bliblu" that I don't remember ever seeing before. Also if you want to come and see the issue being reproduced, the manipulation is available right now on my machine".


Bless and thank the Omnissiah a thousand times when you get a competent one, and weep and despair when they leave...

Best I can do is catia modeling.

I suspect the first one is more usually the "paying to complain" (a.k.a, user) type of QA, while the second one is the one people pay to get to test the product. But yes, different types of QA and different quality of feedback, indeed.

I wonder why there are never offers for tooling, maybe it's all in Stockholm

Oh, I was only referring to the paid ones here^^

As a former QA and current dev myself (embedded software, not video game, but still), I can sadly attest that as in any field of work, not all professional QAs are competent but more importantly, the competent ones are super invaluable

@Johan Do you by any chance also need some gameplay programmers. I do have quite a bit of C++ experience, but none in graphics specifically.

Still no need for 3D modelers?

I'll definitely need one or twelve of those at some point in my modding prospects...
Paid in beer, cracklings and visibility though

 

[Had a dad]

My coding is a tad rusty, but I'm sure I would be up to speed in no time. I even know where the office is.

Pick me Pick me... oh wait nvm I have to wait for my young un to graduate HS.

 

[Sizvahstar]

Any chances you will need QAs, writers or community managers? I'm very flexible and I share Johan's bias for non-Swedish-winters.

Marketers are the bane of my existence. But I am retired C coder and I have no desire to work with rasterizers, codecs, x, y, -x, -y. If you get the job beware the marketing department. they tend to promise a complete game on launch day... then reality sets in....
