Indie game studio Relic Entertainment has launched a new game design internship for Vancouver Film School graduates to honour the late Brian Wood, lead designer on Company of Heroes Online.

The new program will see three VFS game design graduates intern at Relic “to honor and continue Brian’s contribution to the international game community, as well as in memory of his passions in life,² the game developer said in a statement.

Relic designer Wood died last year in a fatal car crash while travelling to a family home in Washington State.
