Gestalte deine Zukunft als Internship Game Design - Summer 24 bei Studio Fizbin in Berlin

Starting date: as it fits with the semester, usually around March/April and September/October each year.

Studio Fizbin is an award-winning independent studio from Germany, with offices in Berlin and Ludwigsburg. We make compelling and hand-crafted games since 2011. In 2021, we released “Minute of Islands” and “Say No! More” among other projects and released “The Inner World 1+2” before. Now, we are going forward on our biggest project yet and want you to join us.
