Frequently Asked Questions

If I don’t see a job that fits my skillset will you accept my resume anyway?
You can complete an online profile and opt to be notified of future openings that match your skills and apply in the future.

When will I hear from you about my application?
We review all submissions within 72 hours and reach out to qualified candidates within 7-10 days.

Do you offer internships?
Yes. Check back each January to see what internships we have posted for the following summer. Our interns are active participants in the creation of our games. You must be a fulltime student returning to your program in the fall.

How do I get into the video game industry?
While we cannot advise you on which school to attend or the classes to take, we do encourage you to go to school. Most of our artists have BFA’s and our programmers have Computer Science or Engineering degrees. Your school’s academic advisers can suggest specific programs. While in college or specialized game school, try to get an internship to gain on-the-job experience.

What should be in my demo reel or online portfolio?
We recommend only putting your best work on your demo reel or online portfolio. A concise reel is always appreciated – we will ask to see more work if we need to.
