As a Junior Game Level Designer, your typical day involves designing and building playable game environments, iterating on level layouts, placing interactive elements, and collaborating closely with artists, programmers, and senior designers. You will attend team meetings to discuss project updates, receive feedback on your levels, and often tweak your designs based on playtesting results. Expect a mix of independent creative work and teamwork, with regular opportunities to learn from more experienced colleagues. This dynamic environment helps you continually grow your technical skills and understanding of game development pipelines while contributing directly to the player experience.
To thrive as a Junior Game Level Designer, you need a solid grasp of game design fundamentals, spatial reasoning, and visual storytelling, often backed by a relevant degree or portfolio of creative work. Familiarity with industry-standard tools like Unity, Unreal Engine, and level editing software is typically required, while basic scripting or familiarity with version control systems is a plus. Strong teamwork, communication, receptiveness to feedback, and problem-solving skills set successful candidates apart. These abilities enable efficient collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams and contribute to creating engaging, high-quality gameplay experiences.
A Junior Game Level Designer is responsible for creating and designing engaging levels for video games. They work closely with senior designers, artists, and developers to implement gameplay mechanics, environmental storytelling, and player flow. Their role often involves using game engines, scripting basic interactions, and playtesting to refine level designs. Juniors are expected to follow design guidelines while bringing creative ideas to enhance the player experience. This position is an entry-level role, ideal for those looking to grow their skills in game design and development.
Epoch Games is a volunteer-based, all-online, global game development team. The Co-Founders of Epoch Games were originally part of a Modding Team developing the total conversion Middle Earth Roleplaying Project (MERP) mod for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middle-earth-roleplaying-project
Currently Epoch Games is developing The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order (LoA:SO). LoA:SO is an in-development indie open-world RPG set in an original fantasy world:
http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-lays-of-althas-sundered-order
The game is being developed using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4 (UE4):

See our Benefits page for more information about what we can (and can't) offer Team Members at this time:
https://epochgames.co.uk/wordpress/benefits
NOTE: The address listed is our central office, but we are working as a completely remote development team at this time. No relocation is necessary.
In this volunteer position you will be asked to create landscapes and building interiors for The Lays of Althas: Sundered Order (LoA:SO), based off concepts and layouts, in the Unreal Engine. We are still building a long list of assets; we expect our Level Designers to be resourceful with the assets they use. We also expect you to use various Houdini Tools that we've built, so Houdini is recommended, but not required. Blueprint Scripting and Quixel Megascans experience is also recommended.
Communication is key to a smooth and efficient pipeline. You must be able to communicate clearly and effectively with other team-members. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We are an English-speaking team, so English fluency is a must. All of this is especially important for Level Designers as we expect them to communicate with 3D Artists letting them know assets that are still needed.
If you are comfortable with teaching, you may be called upon to aid the more junior members of the team in any relevant area.
Other duties include following team policies (given through team orientation as upon acceptance to the team) as well as attending meetings through Slack (our instant message program that we use to communicate).
