Who is the program for
Students. Work in a studio-style workflow on real production projects, with office hours and code reviews that build strong professional habits early.
New grads. Turn solid skills into credible, job-ready experience by shipping real work, polishing your resume, and practicing interviews with structured feedback.
Hobbyists and career switchers. Break into the industry with proof beyond solo projects by learning production habits in an existing codebase, delivering to constraints, and building a strong portfolio.
Professional game devs. Add sharper resume signals and get out of autopilot through rigorous reviews, deeper technical polish, and direct critique that stress-tests fundamentals and raises your ceiling.
What you'll need to succeed
A solid Unity foundation. You drop straight into a real studio workflow with minimal handholding: weekly syncs, stand-ups, and the existing dev pipeline. If you just opened Unity, this isn’t for you. You should already know your way around the engine, have a few game jams behind you, and have shipped something on itch.io or even Steam.
An open mindset. The big gap between a hobbyist and a pro isn’t just technical skill—it’s mindset: taking initiative, diving into existing code, and being willing to throw away work. Those habits usually take real professional time to build; we try to compress that into 12 weeks. That only works if you are ready to push yourself.
Testimonials
"As a self-taught game developer, I lacked both a network and confidence in my skills—RealXP Lab provided me with both. The program not only connected me with like-minded peers and invaluable mentors, but also gave me hands-on experience in a professional environment and the reassurance of feedback from industry experts."
"RealXP Lab was one of the most valuable learning experiences I've had so far as a game developer. The pacing and environment felt much closer to a real studio than anything I've experienced in college, and I came out of it feeling confident that I can hit the ground running in a professional role. I also met amazing people and built connections that I know will be extremely valuable."
"Compared to my last internship, this absolutely blows it out of the water. This is a very engaging program, and I appreciate that it feels more like actual work rather than someone holding my hand through every step."
