PARTNERS & OPINIONS

Per Stenbeck, Lead Designer

HAZELIGHT

"We have had great success with taking on interns from Futuregames and teaching them the Hazelight way of designing games. Futuregames provide a great base for designers to build upon when starting their careers within the games industry. In fact, the majority of our design team are Futuregames alumnis, myself included."

Josef Fares - CEO/Game Director HAZELIGHT

“Futuregames is great at educating all kinds of game developers. Fact is most of Hazelight’s experienced team members are Futuregames alumni! And every year we are impressed with the new students we bring in to Hazelight for internships.”

Starbreeze is a top player within the Swedish gaming industry as an independent developer and publisher that revolutionized Games as a Service. We have a close cooperation with Futuregames and takes on a few of their students as interns every LIA period.

The quality of Futuregames different Gamedev programs has prepared and trained the students to a level where it allows us as a studio to let the interns kickstart their carrers by putting their skills directly to work whilst keep learning from the best in game development.

They get to build their portfolio with direct in game assets for smash hit IP’s such as PAYDAY, a multiplayer heist with the largest community on steam, (currently + 8 million and counting), meaning their work is seen in game by hundreds of thousands of people playing our games.
