Narrative Designer
You're an ideas person, a creative thinker; that's a given. But what really makes you stand out is your ability to communicate. The ability to take your ideas, articulate them clearly and concisely and bring them to life. Oh yeah, and we are a fully remote company too, so understanding the nuances this brings to collaboration is important.
Now, let's break the role down. There are two core components to this role:
Firstly, you'll be acting as a consultant to our development teams. You'll be working particularly closely with our game designers and art directors. Helping them generate game concepts, themes, & narratives suitable to the needs of each individual game.
Secondly, you'll be replacing the game designer & driving the development of reskin projects (i.e. projects where the gameplay & math are unchanged, but the game has a different theme, narrative, & styling). To do this, you will work alongside the audio producer and art director and be responsible for updating relevant game documentation and monitoring the game throughout development.
You won't just work on projects; you'll also be a key creative stakeholder in the design department: defining best practices, creating guidelines, running workshops, educating people, sharing and helping to embed an awareness and appreciation of the the value of effective narrative, along with an understanding of best practices.
We're pretty flexible on your experience, but as a guide, here are some key attributes and skills we look for:
- You're great at storytelling & narrative across a wide range of games & digital media
- A solid understanding of game development. Particularly from a game design perspective
- You've had exposure to the casino/slots industry and be familiar with marketplace trends
- This role comes with a lot of autonomy & self-management. You're going to be the type of person who embraces this and is good at managing workload and delivery
- Ideas are great, but can you articulate them clearly and concisely? You're going to need the buy-in of the team for your ideas and suggestions, so your delivery of new concepts is key
- I mean, it's a given that you're a creative and imaginative person, that's why you are here, but we thought we would include it anyway, just in case...
