Savvy Games Group has named five partner studios for the 2026 cohort of its Kickstarter Programme, with [Evolite Studio](https://www.isakaba.com/evolite-studio/), Nomadroid, [Limeless Studio](https://www.isakaba.com/limeless-studio/), [Steer Studios](https://www.isakaba.com/steer-studios/) and Spoilz each opening paid internship roles for Saudi talent.

The programme is Savvy's six-month paid internship pipeline, designed to move local entrants into entry-level roles at Savvy and its subsidiaries. It runs in person from September 2026 to February 2027.

Evolite Studio is recruiting a 2D artist and a community manager to work on its upcoming game NOOR, with the option of remote work from Jeddah. Steer, on the other hand, is taking applications for a 3D intern.

Limeless Studio has opened two positions in game design and community management. Spoilz, meanwhile, is taking interns into UI/UX design and gameplay programming, with training delivered in person in Riyadh.

**Talent pipeline play**

The Kickstarter Programme sits within Savvy Academy, the group's broader talent infrastructure that also includes the Next-Gen schools workshop and the Nine66 Incubator. 

Savvy has said the ultimate goal of Kickstarter is to convert successful graduates into full-time entry-level hires across its headquarters and subsidiaries.

Moreover, the Steer Studios parent recently signed a memorandum of understanding with NEOM to align Nine66's incubator with the Level Up accelerator, and a separate deal with AWS for cloud and AI training. 

The Kickstarter cohort closes applications on June 27th, 2026, with results announced July 30th.
