Massive helps educate developers of tomorrow
2008-10-21
Massive Entertainment has a long history of being involved with schools and educations. Key staff has held lectures at universities and events, students are allowed to visit the office on field-trips and at times do their internship, master thesis or other projects at Massive. Last week Tobias Strömvall, Cinematic Director at the Studio, held a lecture at Malmö University about film making, Joseph Fricano from the development team made an appearance at Game Academy and talked about writing for games and Anders Holmquist from the programming team talked about what it's like to work in the industry.
Massive’s involvement in the educational process reached new heights a few months ago with the foundation of Game Academy, a KY (Kvalifierad Yrkesutbildning) program for aspiring game developers run by Liber Hermods. Game Academy is located in Malmö, not far from the office, and Massive has been an integral part in the creation of the program. Lead developers and studio management have helped created the curriculum, routinely hold lectures and work closely with the staff at Game Academy.
