About The Position

Are you a gameplay designer with a passion for making games? Escape Velocity is looking for a Game Designer with strong scripting skills. You will be in charge of creating and implementing gameplay mechanics across the game, ensuring they are balanced and fun to play. What we will do together: Develop and oversee multiplayer match mechanics and features. Work alongside other designers, artists, animators, and engineers to document, then implement these features in engine. Use our visual scripting tools to create complex and dynamic gameplay. Refine your implementation through playtest feedback and live data. Collaborate closely with leads and directors to channel the game the vision through your designs. Interested… a bit about Escape Velocity: Escape Velocity is a team of passionate, talented developers working at a studio that offers excellent benefits, on what we believe is a once-in-a-career project with a committed publisher. But that doesn’t necessarily make us unique. What does make us special? We value the time, energy, and talent of our players and our colleagues. We want every hour spent developing and playing our games to be an incredibly rewarding and worthwhile use of your time. To that end, we are ‘Fully Remote’ and support team members nearly anywhere in the world. We prioritize honesty, even when that means sharing bad news. We strive to give everyone autonomy so they can determine how best to work and play, and we care more about what you bring to the game and studio than how many hours you’re clocking. We’re dedicated to building a culture of play, which not only makes us better game makers, but also strengthens the bonds between us all. We believe in constant improvement across all areas – from the game itself to our production design – and are constantly re-evaluating how we spend our time to ensure that we’re not wasting yours and we’re all always working on the most important things.
