About the role

  • Own a large subset of the world and be responsible for the overall design of the environment and implementation of simpler activities in it.
  • Typical tasks include; planning regions, terrain editing, roads, waterways, placement and distribution of POI’s and landmarks, creating spaces and paths through them according to specified gameplay metrics.
  • Work closely with Lead, Product Owner and other teams to understand the game and its needs, constraints, and intentions to design adapted solutions to realize the project's vision.
  • Help identify problems and improve workflows both with the toolset and content pipeline/production (i.e. structure/building prefabs, asset collections, layout templates etc.)

Requirements

  • You are a self motivated developer that enjoys ownership and are not afraid to wear several hats
  • You have a keen eye for composition, visual aesthetics and distribution. Both in terms of layouts of environments and how different layers of gameplay work together in harmony.
  • You’re someone with previous experience as a World Designer (or equivalent) in the game industry, ideally having worked on an open-world title.
  • You have great understanding of dependencies and associated workflows of other departments
