Singapore Twine Full time

A game designer is required to create a cinematic 2.5D side-scrolling environment for the opening chapter of a narrative-driven game. The role focuses on designing the Snowy Forest sublevel, which introduces players to the Dream Realm. With environmental assets and the narrative script already provided, your primary focus will be on greyboxing, gameplay flow, and integrating story-driven elements within Unity. This is a remote, part-time contract suited for designers with strong experience in narrative-focused or atmospheric platformers.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement the Snowy Forest sublevel layout in Unity using greyboxing techniques.
  • Develop platforming flow and pacing, balancing exploration, challenge, and storytelling.
  • Place key gameplay objects such as Lucid Points and memory fragments according to the script.
  • Integrate cinematic camera transitions to enhance narrative moments and gameplay beats.
  • Collaborate directly with the Creative Director to achieve the intended atmosphere and player experience.
  • Deliver a polished, functional sublevel within the agreed one-week timeline.

Skills and Requirements

  • Proven experience designing levels for 2.5D or side-scrolling games.
  • Strong proficiency in Unity and familiarity with greyboxing workflows.
  • Ability to translate scripts and narrative direction into interactive level design.
  • Understanding of pacing, player guidance, and visual storytelling in level flow.
  • Portfolio showcasing past work on atmospheric or narrative-driven titles.
  • Familiarity with games such as Ori, Hollow Knight, or Little Nightmares is a strong advantage.
  • Ability to work remotely with clear communication and adherence to deadlines.
  • Availability for part-time contract work with potential future collaboration.
