Singapore LUCKY CALF PTE. LTD. Full-time SGD 55,000 - SGD 90,000 Contract

We are a Singapore-based studio developing single-player and indie titles for Steam. Our development is carried out in close partnership with an external production team. We are looking for a Game Designer to own the product and design side of our projects.

This role has a clear growth trajectory: you will start by owning game design and collaborating with our development partner, with a path to grow into a Producer role leading our own production capability over time.

Open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents only

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the design of our games - systems, levels, mechanics, progression, and economy - from concept to release
  • Create and maintain clear, detailed Game Design Documents (GDDs) that our development partner can build from
  • Work closely with our external development team across the full production cycle: requirements, milestones, reviews, and delivery
  • Use AI tools to support and accelerate design work, concept creation, and content production
  • Contribute to product direction and help shape what we build and why
  • Over time, take ownership of full product cycles and help build out our internal production capability

Requirements

  • A strong sense of what makes a game fun - and the ability to articulate why
  • Deep familiarity with single-player and indie games on Steam; genuine passion for the craft
  • The ability to turn a rough idea into a clear, complete, and buildable design document
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working across remote and cross-cultural teams
  • Curiosity about how games are built - you don't need to code, but you should understand the boundaries and possibilities of game development
  • Proficiency with AI tools to support your design and production work

Preferred Qualifications

  • A portfolio of design work - GDDs, game analysis, prototypes, game jam entries, or deep-dive reviews
  • Experience with any game engine (Unity, Godot, Unreal) for personal projects
  • Familiarity with Steam publishing and the indie game ecosystem

About Us

We are a small studio focused on crafting single-player experiences for Steam. We value creativity, quality, and close collaboration with our partners.
