Narrative Video Game Level Designer Wanted
Budget: €12 – €18 EUR
We are currently looking for a freelance Level Designer to strengthen our development team for an independent narrative video game project. The project is in the pre-production phase, and we are seeking an experienced professional to design the game prototype. A long-term collaboration for the entire production phase is possible depending on the results achieved.
About the Project:
The game offers an immersive experience on a mysterious island, where the player embarks on an introspective journey through the different stages of grief. Each area of the island embodies a specific phase of this process, and exploring fragmented memories allows the player to progress through the story. The gameplay blends narrative, puzzle-solving, and exploration elements.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and integrate levels that support the narrative progression and defined game mechanics.
- Work closely with team members to translate emotional and narrative concepts into immersive gameplay.
- Design engaging and interactive environments, incorporating challenges and puzzles that align with the character's emotions and the game's theme.
- Participate in iterative cycles to refine level designs and optimize the gameplay experience.
- Create level prototypes that demonstrate core mechanics and narrative elements before full development.
Candidate Profile:
- Proven experience as a Level Designer, ideally in narrative, adventure, or exploration games.
- Strong skills in designing immersive levels, with an understanding of game mechanics and storytelling.
- Ability to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team in an iterative development environment.
- Proficiency in game development tools, with a preference for Unreal Engine.
- Sensitivity to the theme of grief and emotional storytelling, and the ability to translate abstract concepts into gameplay.
What We Offer:
- The opportunity to be part of an independent and innovative project exploring deep emotional themes.
- An initial mission focused on prototyping, potentially leading to a long-term collaboration for the entire development.
- A committed and passionate team dedicated to creating a unique and immersive gaming experience.
Collaboration Details:
- Budget: €2,500 for the prototyping phase. If the collaboration extends to full production, a new budget will be defined.
- Availability: We require availability from Monday to Friday.
- Work Location: Remote work with continuous collaboration and online meetings to facilitate communication.
- Language : French (Highly recommanded), English
Thank you in advance for your applications and for sharing this opportunity.
