Our Narrative Designers are driven to push the boundaries of storytelling in open-world games. We want players to feel hooked by our characters and dialogue, to enjoy having their actions and choices reflected back at them, and to savor a game world that feels alive and real. To accomplish these goals, we collaborate closely with writers, animators, technicians, and other designers throughout the studio.
What you will do
As a Senior Narrative Systems Designer, your main tasks and responsibilities will be to:
- Develop dialogue and conversation systems that raise the bar for AAA games
- Analyze, design, improve, and implement in-game ambient dialogue and banter systems
- Build, track, manage, and maintain systems with highly complex narrative logic
- Collaborate with UI designers to create a fluid, intuitive, and imaginative dialogue interface
- Work closely with writers and designers to make the world and characters sound and feel alive
- Support other teams with their narrative design needs
Who you are
We’d love to hear from you if you:
- Have 4+ years of experience as a narrative designer at a AAA studio, having shipped at least one AAA game title
- Possess detailed knowledge of narrative design in open-world RPG games, both single-player and online
- Have extensive experience with complex narrative design tasks and dialogue systems
- Have hands-on experience with node graph based scripting or sequencer toolsets.
- Are proficient with prompt iterations based on rapidly evolving feedback
- Are able to directly communicate with programmers to implement and iterate on your systems
