Steel Minions is Sheffield Hallam University's own commercial game development studio

The Steel Minions Game Studio was created in 2010 in order to provide students on Hallam's game development degrees with "workplace simulation" within a studio environment. ​Our small (but perfectly formed) studio is based in Sheffield Hallam's science park, close to Sheffield train station.

Students are chosen to work in the studio based on merit, and the projects that they work on are often integrated into assessments as part of their degrees. Please visit the Steel Minions website to learn more.
