Internship

Are you looking for an internship? Designing and developing and publishing games is the core of what we do. We do this for platforms such as Playstation 4, PSVR, Nintendo Switch, PC, Android and iOS.

We are always looking for motivated interns across the following disciplines:

  • Art (2D / 3D)
  • Programming
  • Game/Level Design
  • Project and/or Office Management

Our work environment

We work a lot with Unity3D in combination with C#. Our 3D-models are made in Autodesk 3ds Max and Blender. In doing so, Photoshop, Illustrator and Substance are frequently used for UI art, concept art and texturing. We work according to the Scrum methodology using Scrumwise and use SVN and Git as our version management systems. We are always on the lookout for students who are familiar and eager to work with these softwares.
