Psst! We’re creating new magic, interested in joining us building a new world of adventures? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who wants to be a part of building a game from scratch.

We love horses and the community that has been built around the Star Stable Online universe, but we are ready to move out of our comfort zone into a new world of adventures…..without horses .

We are expanding our universe into a new product line and we’re looking for a Senior Game Designer to help us. As a Senior Game Designer, you will get to work with the game from the beginning, leading the prototyping and exploration that will serve as the foundation of a new property. Amazing, right?

The quest

We have a vision of the new game, but we need more than that. So this is where we hope you will create some magic together with us. We need you to lead the design of the gameplay systems, as well as make sure we use the right tools and start creating prototypes and validating or invalidating our assumptions.

Since we are at the very beginning of creating this game, we have no idea where this journey will take us, and therefore we don't know that much about the team or the specific roles. But what we do know is that this role probably will change during these years.

To be successful, you need to be a great communicator and have a few years in the industry preferably having both worked on complex games from the beginning and even into live ops. And of course you work well in an agile environment in a cross-functional team. You also are very comfortable navigating in commercial engines to do rapid prototyping.

On this quest we'll explore new ways to tell stories, to empower creativity, and to foster human connection, in dialogue with real players. We're not making "just a game" but the "main game" for an underserved audience. Success means a community around the game that thrives for years to come.

The mission for the team

This new game is something totally different, so the team that builds it really needs to be daring and driven and have our values in the backpack. We know that we will try small and fail fast. We will be open to feedback and let our audience grow with us. And we do know that at this stage, perfection is the enemy of success.

To help you during this journey you will have a whole company with many years of experience and support functions. And also a Creative director and a Producer that together will shape the vision and bring this new product to life and delight new audiences.
