  • Create clear, concise, and visually oriented design material explaining mechanics, features, and systems.
  • Help assess project progress and quality by utilizing results from usability, focus, and in-house playtests.
  • Provide constructive feedback and propose solutions to improve the quality of the current project or future titles.

Key Requirements:

  • 5+ years of Game Design experience.
  • Demonstrable prior experience as a Combat Designer for several years or in a comparable role.
  • A deep passion for and expertise in the Soulslike genre.
  • Preferably have shipped at least 1 AAA title in a design capacity.
  • Excellent knowledge of gameplay mechanics, features, and what makes modern games work.
  • Familiarity with Unreal Engine and experience with the creation of Blueprints.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills are essential for this role.
  • An open and creative mind with the ability to work well under pressure and meet deadlines.

What we offer:

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
