EDIT: This position is now closed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello – Pete here and I wanted to let you know that we\u2019re currently hiring a game designer<\/a> to join the team!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re quite excited about this role for a number of reasons!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

[1]<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, this is the first design focused role we\u2019ve hired for. Previously it was myself focusing on the overall game\u2019s direction with support from the rest of the team as we all refined what a game\u2019s vision was.

At White Paper, we believe that everyone should contribute their design ideas to help craft the end vision of the game so a critical key to this role is to be able to hear from a wide range of opinions, not be blocked off from one perspective you hold, and to decipher what the correct vision for the gameplay would be and design into it.

You will also need to know how to implement your ideas in Unreal Engine. We have strong code support on our team so you wouldn\u2019t be expected to build everything from the ground up in Blueprints, although being able to create a prototype is an important aspect to allow you to communicate your vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[2]<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second is that it frees up a lot of the deep work on the team to help us achieve a clearer vision on our titles.

As anyone who\u2019s played our games before, we have large ambitions, both technically and creatively, and from a team perspective, we\u2019ve always done a little of everything.

Ether One<\/a> shipped with 6 core team members and The Occupation<\/a> with 12 – as you can imagine, shipping those types of games with the respective team sizes caused everyone to wear many hats so it\u2019s great to be able to put specific focus in many areas to really make our titles shine with refined edges.

We think this is an exciting opportunity for a design to really make their voice heard as a creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[3]<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, I think this role will bring a new perspective to how we design and approach our games. Of course, our focus on our players and respecting your time and input in the game world to deliver your an interesting interactive experiences, but having fresh design ideas with someone\u2019s full focus on a game\u2019s tone, pacing and interactive aspects will help us branch out into lots more new IP

(P.S We do have a new IP currently in production that we\u2019re super excited to share with you all\u2026 just not yet!). <\/em>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Apply?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve posted the application here<\/a>, we hope you check it out or let someone else know who you think may fit the role.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we\u2019ve located our new team member, we\u2019ll also be looking for
[1] Full-time Gameplay programming support
[2] Contract animation for ~ 6 months starting in September 2020.
[3a\/b] a Full-time or Part-time studio manager \/ communications roles – this might be two different roles or a single person with a varied interest in management and comms).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if you think you\u2019d fit some of our other roles, please do drop us a line at jobs@whitepapergames.com<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re looking forward to meeting you!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
