NB! We know you probably are not an expert – we’re looking for sufficient base skills matched to a clear desire to knuckle down and learn. if that’s you we can give you the environment to thrive. All our interns will gain heavy exposure to:

1 – all aspects of game creation process
2 – key technologies and tools
