USW Media Intern Harry Pettigrew explains software bugs.

Ahhh, and still the bugs keep coming! They might be part and parcel of research and development with emerging technologies, but where’s a digital fly swat when you need it?

 

After the 1st alpha (thin slice) build in May 2020 the team kept developing, testing, iterating and releasing new and improved versions, or builds of the app. Over the course of the next 8 months, Fictioneers slowly refined and perfected the functionality, look and feel of Wallace & Gromit: Big Fix Up. Some days it seemed like each new update introduced as many new software bugs as it solved.
