Testimonials

“Working with Paul is great!

He’s reliable, affable, and funny: it’s just a pleasure to collaborate with him on a project. He’s not only a fantastic tester with a keen eye for detail, but also an incredibly nice and kind person. Things can get difficult when making a game and juggling things in life, so having a positive presence like him helps a lot!

Despite having been part of huge, important projects in the past that got awards and critical acclaim, Paul was ready to accept working on our small game and treated it with the same professionalism and reliability. He helped us despite short deadlines, real-life issues, and last-minute problems, and for this I’m really grateful.

And let me praise his feedback! Not only for how accurate it is, but also how well it is presented, with neatly prepared documents that include feedback from multiple playthroughs, detailed descriptions, screenshots, the time it took to complete each part of the game, his setup, general impressions, and suggestions.

He has a genuine passion for games and stories, and without him, Confidential Killings would’ve been a much worse game!

Thank you for your help, Paul! It was great having you as part of our team!”

— Lorenzo Boni, Co-developer of Confidential Killings

“Paul’s contribution to the beta testing of Darklight was truly outstanding. His commitment, attention to detail, and thoroughness in providing feedback were instrumental in refining the game to perfection. Not only did he meticulously identify and report bugs, but he also offered valuable insights on gameplay mechanics and contributed ideas to our achievement system that made it to the final version of the game.

Paul’s dedication and expertise made him an invaluable asset to our team. His friendly demeanor and collaborative approach made working with him a pleasure. I have no doubt that I will be reaching out to Paul again in the future for testing our upcoming projects. Thank you, Paul, for your exceptional work on Darklight!”
