Descrição da oferta de emprego

Join to apply for the Level Designer role at Memory Ware.

At Memory Ware, we build games that value narrative depth, mechanical clarity, and emotional resonance.

Our levels aren't just places to walk through; they're spaces that tell stories, hold tension, and guide players through meaningful interactions.

We're looking for a Level Designer who can craft tight, expressive, and system-aware environments for our JRPG-inspired projects.

This includes exploration maps, combat encounters, and narrative set-pieces, all with a strong sense of pacing, player flow, and readability.

As a Level Designer, you'll work closely with game designers, writers, artists, and engineers to bring the game world to life.

You'll be responsible for defining the rhythm, structure, and gameplay potential of the spaces players explore, ensuring purposefulness and supporting the intended experience.

What You'll Do

• Block out exterior and interior 3D spaces for optimal layout, flow, sightlines, and gameplay.
• Develop engaging and innovative game levels that integrate gameplay mechanics with narrative elements, following the game's core principles.
• Collaborate with Art and Narrative teams to ensure a cohesive and immersive experience.
• Participate in discussions to ensure levels meet quality standards and align with pacing and player experience goals.
• Use level design tools and software, especially Unity, to create and iterate level layouts.
• Balance creative goals with practical constraints like timelines and technical limitations.
• Produce detailed documentation for game levels with clear guidelines for the team.

What We're Looking For

• Experience designing levels for exploration, narrative, or tactical encounters.
• Strong sense of space, flow, guidance, and pacing.
• Ability to prototype and iterate in 3D environments using Unity.
• Deep empathy for player experience, especially how exploration and story interweave.
• Familiarity with JRPG structures (e.g., dungeon design, pacing, town/dungeon rhythm).
• Ability to work independently and with cross-disciplinary teams.

Bonus Points For

• Experience designing turn-based combat spaces and encounters.
• Knowledge of environmental storytelling, visual composition, and spatial narrative.
• Technical skills in camera scripting, trigger systems, or modular asset workflows.
• Passion for games that combine mechanical depth with emotional storytelling.
