Techtonica - Inside the Bugfixing World

Welcome to the bug-fixing world of Techtonica

Hello gamers! Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a video game? Today, we're taking you on an exciting journey into the world of Techtonica and showing you how the team works hard to find and fix bugs. Sit back, grab a coffee, and enjoy the ride!

The eternal battle against bugs

As you probably know, no game is perfect. Despite the best efforts of developers, bugs always manage to creep in. Sometimes they are obvious and easy to spot, sometimes they are hidden and only occur under certain conditions. But no matter how big or small they are - they need to be fixed.

Why are bugs even there?

A question that all gamers eventually ask: Why are there bugs in the first place? Quite simply, because software development is complex. There are so many variables and scenarios to consider that it's almost impossible to anticipate every single error in advance.

Say hello to the monorail bugs

In Techtonica, for example, we are currently experiencing issues with the monorail depots and HVC cables. They simply don't work well together. But don't worry - our team is already on it and working hard to find a solution.

Bug finding at Techtonica

Once a bug has been identified, the real work begins: bug hunting. And this is where things get really interesting. Some bugs can be easily reproduced, while others are elusive.

  • Simple bugs: These occur consistently and are therefore easy to replicate. They usually require minimal code changes to fix.
  • Complex bugs: These don't always occur or only under certain conditions. They can take a while to find and fix.

Our process for bug fixing

Once a bug has been identified, the debugging process begins. Developers scrutinize the code to figure out what's going wrong. This can be a challenge, especially with more complex issues.

But don't worry! At Techtonica, we have a dedicated team of professionals who are up to the challenge.

In conclusion...

Bug finding and bug fixing are essential parts of game development. It's an ongoing process full of challenges - but at the end of the day, it's all worth it.
