About the Role
Details:
- Location: Bucharest
- Employment Type: Permanent contract
- Work Model: Hybrid
- Platform: PC/Console
- Experience Level: Mid-Senior Level
Main Challenge: Bringing a cozy life-sim fantasy to life through content, by tightly integrating narrative, systems, and world-building - moving beyond scripted quests into emergent, player-driven experiences.
Responsibilities:
- Bring together art, design, narrative and sound to reinforce the main themes of the game.
- Work with game designers and narrative designers to implement story content directly in the game (quests, environments, interactions).
- Work with artists to shape and give life to characters.
- Use gameplay and systems to convey story - not just dialogue and text.
- Design and iterate on a more systemic quest approach, tied to gameplay systems rather than linear scripting.
- Write and implement dialogue and in-game text where needed.
Success Criteria:
- Players stop relying on quests as instructions and start forming their own goals.
- Narrative is felt through gameplay and the world, not just delivered through dialogue.
- Content does not break when systems evolve - it scales with them.
- The world, companions, and NPCs operate as elements of a single interconnected system rather than as isolated layers.
- We reduce dependency on “go there, do that” quest structures.
