Pros

Was able to network with some of the team members.

Cons

The CEO actively contributes to a hostile work environment. The only thing that the CEO is interested in, is their own interest in what they think makes an interesting game. The CEO says that they won't "micro manage" but will actively interrupt any discussion in an effort to smack good ideas down that would help moving the project forwards. The CEO has a chokehold on creativity & will actively shut down any ideas/features/mechanics suggestion that would help move the game forwards. The CEO is well aware that there are issues within the project but will either ignore it or do nothing about it. The CEO will tell you off for the smallest of reasons. People's time are wasted on unnecessarily long meetings. The game itself has been in development for close to 4 years without funding & without any clear direction. Any suggestion for mechanics or features has to meticulously be documented in such a way where it can take more than a week to complete & when it finally is "done" you get burnt out by the time it gets denied approval. Just because something has a historical background to it, it doesn't mean it translates to interesting game mechanics. That means that history comes first & gameplay second. This company BURNS through talent.

Pros

It's a remote position, so no expenses for the job (transportation, etc.)

Cons

The answer I got when I asked questions are usually passive-agressive, I don't see a clear goal for the game since we keep reworking old works from former employee, the direction given for my task is unclear, too many meetings in a week that took hours, too many accounts used in one app which is very inefficient.

Pros

Free breakfast two times a week

Cons

My internship at Gamucatex was chaotic and unprofessional. There was no structure—just endless Discord meetings, constant location changes, and zero focus on our actual learning goals. Despite clearly stating I wanted to work on visual content, I was buried in documents about how to stand in a booth and game design even though i was not part of the game design department. Questions were met with passive-aggressive replies from the CEO and we were often told last-minute about events. Creative freedom was non-existent. Every single task had to be edited repeatedly, to the point where it felt like nothing was ever truly finished or good enough. It was disheartening, and micromanagement was present at every turn, making it feel like we were constantly being monitored rather than trusted to work independently. A very disappointing experience and i would not recommend this place to anybody.
