About Us

Course Credit + Internship

Equal parts internship and classroom, the studio provides a hands-on, professional learning experience for students.

Student-run, Faculty-mentored

While at the studio, student-interns receive training in game development while working on original game projects. They are also manage the projects, create codes of conduct, and how to effectively organize a game development team.

The 1st Paid Intership of its Kind

The key differential of our studio is we pay our student-interns an above-market hourly rate. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only in-house studio in a game design program to do so.

The Studio

Our dedicated offices are just a quick walk away from our campus located in the South Bronx.

The studio has the tech and the space to support our interns while they develop their games.

Student Experience

A guided professional experience run by students, guided by faculty with decades of industry experience.

We provided everything students need to have a professional-level experience. Even snacks.

Professional Development

The studio internship includes visits to local professional development studios and training in presentation skills, project management, and development methodologies.

Principles

Students First

The studio exists to serve students, not the other way around.

Values  →  Process

We believe that how we work is equally as important as what we work on. The studio changes each year to fit our collective principles.

Growth > All else

Our goal is to grow to become better game makers, artists, and people. Shipping projects is only important if it supports the above.

Balanced Work

We put our health (mental, physical, spiritual) first. This means no work without pay, rest, or consent.

Radical Inclusion

We support and celebrate our students' gender identities, neuro-diversity, racial & ethnic backgrounds, physical abilities, and all other spectrums of diversity.

Bronx-based

We are proud to be a game development studio in the South Bronx.

History

Other Possible Games was founded in the Summer of 2022 after years of initial development guided by student input.

The studio was created to fill a gap in our students access to the game development industry, which offers scarce paid internships or early career positions.

As a cornerstone principle, all student-interns at OPG are paid an hourly rate at or above the industry standard.

The founding student cohort (pictured here) began work in June 2022. They spent 2 months learning how to organize a game development project, how to work effectively as a team, and developing the studio's 1st original game, Terminal Station.

We have since accepted a cohort of paid interns every year.

Other Possible Games is grant and donation funded.
