Game Designer, Secret Door
At Secret Door we believe that some of our best memories come from shared experiences with friends. We are in the early days of our studio and there’s a ton of opportunity to have a big impact on what we are making. Most importantly, we know our games will be at their best when a variety of voices, identities, and perspectives go into their creation, so come join us!
As we begin crafting how to bring people together in positive ways, we are looking for a talented and passionate game designer to help us with a variety of design work including system design, encounter and mission design/creation, and game balance. We’re looking for someone with an understanding of what is fun and familiarity creating the types of experiences groups of players really respond to positively. In this role you will be helping define a lot of the soul of our game - where the rubber hits the road and the ideals of a game become real. As only the third designer on our team, you will have a great deal of input on the game as a whole.
