Star

Build games with AI, discover what breaks, and help shape an early-stage product. Perfect if you want to apply your skills and see how startups work from the inside. What is Star? Star is an AI-powered game creation platform - think "ChatGPT for making games." We're working on making game development accessible to anyone with an idea, no coding required. We're YC-backed and early-stage. You'll work directly with the founder and see everything: product decisions, technical tradeoffs, customer conversations, the works. What you'd actually do Build 6-12 games across different genres (platformers, shooters, puzzle games, etc.) to identify where Star needs improvement. You'll: - Build diverse game types to stress-test different systems - Test on multiple devices (desktop, iOS, Android) - Document category-level issues ("physics breaks with >50 objects") not minor bugs - Create games we can use as showcase examples - Weekly sync to discuss findings Your discoveries directly shape our roadmap. When you find something that needs improvement, we prioritize fixing it. If things are going well and you're interested, there's potential to work on distribution and user acquisition strategy later in the internship. What we're looking for - You like making games or creative projects (any kind, doesn't need to be polished - the main thing is that you love the creative, iterative process) - Comfortable with things breaking and rough edges - Good at documenting where things go wrong and potential improvements clearly - Self-starter with entrepreneurial mindset - Bonus: access to multiple devices for testing No prior game dev experience required. If you've created something before (game, app, website, art project, etc.) and can show it, that's enough. Logistics - Remote, flexible hours: ~10-20 hrs/week - Pay: $20/hr - Start date: Flexible - Duration: 2-month contract to start, renewable if working well for both of us - College credit: Can be structured for academic credit if your school allows it This is a trial run. If it goes well, we can extend and you can get involved in other areas of the company.
