Adam Carballo

Software Engineer

2016 Talent Camper

"Being part of Talent Camp was a life-changer for me. Spending two weeks with awesome people in a highly creative environment was an incredible learning opportunity. It’s definitely an amazing experience and one that I would recommend to anyone."

Rok Kos

Junior Software Engineer

2015, 2016 Talent Camper

"I couldn't recommend this awesome experience more to anyone who wants to get into the gaming industry. Talent Camp gave me knowledge, a social network and passion to work on games. I would go on it for a third time if they hadn't already hired me."

Urška Pintarič

Junior 2D Artist

2017 Talent Camper

"I was lucky enough to be part of the 2017 Talent Camp. We got to experience the process of making a game in a short period of time, from initial idea to final product, with great teammates and mentors. It was such fun! I enjoyed every moment of it!"

Grega Birsa

Senior 2D Artist

2015 Talent Camper

"Talent Camp was a great experience for me. It was a real hotbed of creativity and teamwork. All in all, it was amazing – not only did we get lots of experience, we also formed some long-lasting friendships, which is one of Outfit7’s core values."

Tadej Hiti

Junior Quality Engineer

2015 Talent Camper

"Talent Camp was my way into the game development industry and I’m grateful every day that I applied for it. If I hadn’t, then I wouldn’t have met any of the great people that I work with today, people with whom I now share the passion and love of making great games."

mentors

This year’s Talent Campers will be mentored by some of the top players in the gaming industry!

Maxime Rioux

Game Designer

Ideas are easy to have. Choosing the right one is the tough part. My goal is to guide the Talent Campers as they create a product that's coherent, efficient, and most importantly, fun!

Jernej Anclin

Software Engineer

While the Talent Campers have fun creating virtual worlds out of nothing, I'll be there to share dev tips and tricks to make sure their coding is as smooth as possible.

Jan Drenovec

2D Artist

There are infinite visual directions that a game can take. I will help the Talent Campers realize theirs on their journey from a simple sketch to the final appearance of the app.

Eran Alboher

Senior Art Director

Making game art demands a full understanding of the big picture, so I’ll help the Talent Campers look at the core of their game and discover the art that will fit it best.
