The Sandbox - Playtest (PC)
Studio: The Sandbox
Type: Playtest
Date: June 2023 & March 2024
Platform: PC
I participated in two playtests for The Sandbox on PC, first in June 2023 and later in March 2024. Both sessions focused on evaluating performance stability, server responsiveness, and synchronization within the shared virtual world. These tests helped assess large-scale multiplayer reliability and identify areas for network and optimization improvements before release.
Responsibilities
Joined multiple playtest phases to evaluate gameplay stability and stress-test server capacity.
Reported technical issues such as latency spikes, synchronization bugs, and frame rate drops.
Provided structured QA feedback on connection consistency, movement precision, and performance scalability.
Completed post-test surveys to provide insights on user experience and technical responsiveness.
Outcome
My testing across both sessions contributed to identifying server bottlenecks and performance variations during heavy load. These experiences improved my understanding of multiplayer infrastructure QA, stress testing, and live performance optimization for online games.
