2 years ago
Free Range Games grows games the old fashioned way: we don’t put our team in cages, we work distributedly, and we don’t use toxic work/life trade-offs. Some of our crafters have worked together from PS1 to PS5 and will tell you about carving games one triangle at a time from punch cards.
We are some of the folk behind Spider-man, Tony Hawk, Lord of the Rings, Twitch Sings, Oddworld, Shrek Super Slam, and dozens of mobile and web games. We believe every member of the team has a voice in what the game should be.
We prioritize community, family, and love-of-gaming over process, crunching, and TPS reports. And maybe that’s what you want too.
We are looking for a designer, preferably technical and a master of Unreal to lead the layout team of an open world, mythological, next generation game. You will be in charge of where the rubber meets the road in terms of actualizing the creative vision with dynamic action into level and zone specifics.
Responsibilities:
- Design procedural systems for laying out neighborhoods, cities ,biomes, and arenas across a big world
- Lead the level design team through example, mentoring and the building of the hardest coolest stuff.
Qualifications:
- Shipped a quality title in Unreal in the last 5 years
- Strong opinions about what goes in Blueprint and what in cpp
- Voodoo knowledge of UE4
- 5+ years working on mid-sized to large teams
- Broad knowledge of current action games
- Ability to teach new concepts to others
- Plus - experience leading design teams
