All You Need Is
Passion
Not a degree. Not a portfolio. Not years of experience.
Just a genuine desire to make games and the discipline to do it.
Who This Is For
Do you see yourself here?
We're not asking what you can do yet. We're asking what you want to do. The skills come with the work, but the desire has to come from you.
Do you want to bring game mechanics to life?
Do you see your art inside a game world?
Do you want to score a game that people feel?
Do you think in systems, puzzles, and experiences?
Do you have stories you want players to live?
If you read one of those roles and felt something, that's enough.
Nobody can teach you to want to make games. But we can give you
everything else.
What You Bring, What You Get
Passion in, everything else out
Determination. An open mind. A genuine love of games.
Bring those. Here's what you get in return:
A portfolio of your work
Real shipped projects, game jam entries, devlogs. Proof of what you can do and how you did it.
Your crew
A circle of peers who are just as serious about games as you are. Your accountability partners and hype squad.
Industry access
Intimate talks and Q&As with game professionals. Asking questions, not posting YouTube comments
Mentorship
Guidance from UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz students who have already walked this path.
Feedback on your work
Honest, constructive playtesting and critique from people who get it.
Places to go, people to see
Real-world Bay Area events, showcases, and studio visits alongside your community.
Where We Go
Real places. Real experiences.
Game Devision is headquartered in the Bay Area. When you're part of this, you're part of a community that actually goes places together.
