Let's Make a Change!

Humans in Games

We're a registered nonprofit built on a simple belief: skill, talent, and merit should matter more than money, connections, or checkboxes.

The gaming industry is built by people. Yet access to opportunity is often determined by factors that have nothing to do with talent—financial resources, networks, labels, or predefined categories.

We exist to change that.

Through accessible education, career pathways, and advocacy, we're working to create a space where skill, effort, and collaboration determine success. Not privilege. Not labels. Just the work.

Right now, we're building the foundation.

We're creating bootcamps and courses taught by working industry professionals. Students pay a membership of £60/year to access all bootcamps & courses, or a membership of £30/year for access to all courses. This keeps education accessible and eases entry into the industry.

The gap between student fees and instructor costs? That's where partnerships come in.

For the industry.

There's incredible talent out there that studios never see because access isn't easy. People with the skills and drive to thrive in game development are missing the chance to show what they can do.

You need that talent. By supporting accessible education, you're building a pipeline of skilled developers who've been taught by industry professionals and are ready to contribute from day one.

What it is.

A free job board for everyone—studios and developers. No paywalls, no premium listings, no hidden advantages.

For HiG members, we add a human touch: we personally review profiles and actively match candidates with studios based on actual fit. Not keywords. Not algorithms. Real people making real connections.

How it helps you.

You'll post roles for free and get access to candidates who've been vetted by humans who understand what you're actually looking for. No more sifting through hundreds of applications filtered by ATS systems that miss qualified people.

This is talent discovery that actually works. Studios supporting Phase One will have priority access as we build Phase Two.

What it is.

Job fairs (online and in-person) where studios meet talent directly. Games showcases where developers can present their work without paying thousands in fees. Mentorship circles that provide long-term career support.

These aren't one-off events—they're ongoing infrastructure for connecting talent with opportunity.

How it helps you.

Direct access to emerging talent in settings designed for real conversation. You're not just reviewing CVs—you're meeting people, seeing their work, and evaluating them as humans, not data points.

For showcases, you'll discover projects and creators that would never surface through traditional channels. Innovation that's been overlooked because it couldn't afford visibility.

Why all three phases matter.

Education without career pathways is incomplete. Job boards without human input don't serve studios. Events without ongoing support create one-time connections instead of lasting relationships.

Together, these three phases create a complete ecosystem that supports talent from learning through career growth—while giving studios consistent access to skilled, motivated people.
