A new videogame development studio is coming to Louisiana. Chris Stelly with Louisiana Economic Development says it’ll be located in New Orleans. Called “Possibility Space,” Stelly says the firm will employ dozens at six-figure salaries. ”
We’re looking at 75 permanent jobs in Louisiana, the average salary of $100,000 a year plus benefits,” said Stelly.
An exact location for the studio in the Big Easy has not been picked.
Louisiana is already home to nearly a half-dozen videogame developers, and Stelly says the state’s creative workforce is a plus to landing the new studio.
“Having the local residents with the requisite knowledge to design and develop video games is important, and any new company coming into Louisiana is going to look at the workforce,” said Stelly
Stelly talks about the mission of Possibility Space whose founder and CEO is Jeff Strain, a Louisianan, who has created and influenced some of the biggest online games in the industry’s history. As for “Possibility Space”, Stelley says “it’s an independent video game studio that’s going to develop large-scale video games for global consumption.”
