To thrive as a Game Level Designer, you need strong spatial reasoning, creativity, and a solid understanding of game mechanics, often supported by a degree in game design or a related field. Proficiency with industry-standard tools like Unity, Unreal Engine, and 3D modeling software (e.g., Blender, Maya), as well as a solid grasp of scripting or visual programming, is typically expected. Strong collaboration, communication, and problem-solving abilities help you contribute effectively within multidisciplinary development teams. These competencies are crucial to creating engaging, balanced, and technically sound gameplay experiences that align with the overall game vision.
A Game Level Designer is responsible for creating engaging, well-balanced, and immersive levels or environments within a video game. They design the layout, pacing, and challenges, ensuring that gameplay flows smoothly and remains enjoyable for players. This role requires collaboration with artists, programmers, and other designers to bring the vision to life while considering technical constraints. A level designer often works with game engines and scripting tools to implement interactive elements. Their goal is to enhance player experience through thoughtful spatial design and mechanics.
As a Game Level Designer, your daily tasks often include creating, prototyping, and refining in-game environments, puzzles, and encounters to ensure engaging and balanced player experiences. You'll collaborate closely with artists, programmers, and other designers to integrate assets, test mechanics, and address technical or gameplay challenges. Playtesting and iterating on levels based on feedback is also a routine part of the job. Additionally, documenting your design decisions and maintaining clear communication within the team are important for keeping projects on track and ensuring a cohesive game world.
Use our in-house level design tools in Unity to create fun tactics missions. Design enemies, terrain effects, and mission objectives for your missions. Playtest your missions and iterately improve them. Collaborate closely with other game designers, artists, and engineers on the team. Help engineers improve the level design tooling that you are using. Maintain knowledge and context of all of the level content in the game.
What we're looking forDeep passion for tactics games. You must be able to stay self-motivated to make tactics missions for a long time. Proven ability to make fun game content. Show us what you have made! Some programming skill, preferably with C#/Unity. Enough to be able to contribute on the level design tooling and content scripts. Comfortable in a fast paced, high ownership startup environment. Shipped a game start to finish before.
