    Question Is this true,QA tester made HIVE lvl 46 cap

    The Hive
    While I worked as a quality assurance tester
    at Spacetime Studios, I was allowed full access
    to the editor outside of my normal QA
    schedule. I dedicated 60 to 80 hours a week by
    staying late and coming in on weekends to
    teach myself the editor. I began my first
    project called The Hive, which was later
    published into the game. My process for
    developing The Hive consisted of the following
    phases: research, mapping space and flow,
    asset configuration, play testing and polish.
    Research
    As a QA tester, I already knew the game well,
    but I had much to learn about the editor. The
    Hive was a solo project, so I had to find assets
    that already existed and breathe new life into
    them. So my first objective was to practice
    modifying existing content in fun and
    interesting ways. When I felt comfortable
    with the editor, I set my project in motion with
    a theme and list of my favorite assets.
    Space and Flow
    The ideal flow for an RPG on a mobile phone
    needs to fit the middle ground between too
    simple and too complicated. I didn’t want the
    map for The Hive to be linear, but I also didn’t
    want it to be confusing or frustrating for
    players. To avoid having the player backtrack
    through the same areas, I designed the map
    with three loops from the player’s spawn
    location. At the peak of each loop,

    Seems like it. Nice website find.
    If this guy taught himself the editor, and spend lots of time developing the project outside of his normal work....

    BRING HIM BACK!

    Those who say it cannot be done should not stop those who are doing it.

    Ben is a super-talented guy who is currently pursuing other interests, but it was great working with him for that time.
