I’m looking at a job offer that mentions that the applicant would have to “supervise some TRCs”… wut?
TRoll Characters?
Just joking…
The fourth item maybe?
Technical Requirement Checklist, A checklist mainly use to verify the technical requierement for a platform in the video game business
Wikipedia of course… these days I rely so much on Google’s define:, which oddly enough didn’t return this entry, I didn’t even bother double-checking.
Thanks anyway, I think you got the right one!
Depends on the job/situation but in this respect i guess it’s Technical Requirements Checklist(s).
Btw. could it be that the forum is rather slow again?!
TRC’s are Technical Requirement Checklists.
All consoles have separate TRC documentation, and the TRC check is one of the requirements you must pass to release a game for said console.
Now the next question is, What kind of stuff is in the TRC documentation? They are different for each platform, but all share some similarities. They cover such things as how long the console manufacturers logo must be displayed on screen, in what order the screens are displayed, how you refer to the controllers in your UI, rules for icon sizes and trademarks, as well as untold amounts of all kinds of other stuff, that you never think about, but they did and now you have a giant manual you have to follow to the letter…
TRC certification is always a good time
Oh yes as lead programmer it’s the most fun you’ll have on the project :lol:
Thanks everyone, I’ve learned some important stuff here.
I’m not sure this job seems all that fun, the tone of the ad is a bit harsh, and anyway it’s probably out of my league (no PS3/X360 experience).
I’m afraid I’ll have to get some C++ in me if I want to go AAA, I haven’t done any since university…
Depends on how you define AAA. If it’s standing more for a big budget production then probably yes but if it’s more meant in context with a high quality game then no. You can also Boo, but sadly not Ruby, the world this way! :O)
