Original job description

Senior Narrative Designer

From dodgeball in the streets to racetracks in your living room, we've always been more interested in asking "what if?" than following a roadmap. Whether we're dreaming up a chaotic game of hide & seek in the dark or putting a legendary space fox back in the pilot's seat, that inventor's mindset runs through everything we do. We make games for people who appreciate craft and a little bit of magic. If you're curious, you'll be in good company.

Are you a Senior Narrative Designer with a passion for RPGs and classic fantasy worlds? We are looking for a candidate with a depth of skill and experience in narrative world-building, story creation, and script writing. The Narrative Designer will collaborate closely with the Game Director, Systems Designers and other team members to drive, define and expand the story as well as the narrative systems of our co-op ARPG based on a premier fantasy IP. The ideal candidate will be able to work within a well-established IP while helping define our game’s own voice and tone.

Responsibilities

Own and maintain the overall story for the game in collaboration with other creatives
Craft and present story proposals and integrate feedback from IP-holder
Prepare narrative briefs for characters and locations to help guide artists and content creators
Prepare scripts and dialogue, as well as help direct regular voice recording sessions
Collaborate with Marketing Team to ensure that game narrative is properly represented in consumer-facing promotional materials

5+ years of experience in narrative design and writing, preferably in RPGs or adjacent genres
At least one shipped title as a narrative designer
Strong script-writing skills
Exceptional ability to communicate design concepts, verbally and in written or visual forms, to other disciplines
A passion for storytelling and worldbuilding in gameplay-first environments

Big plusses

Professional experience in other areas of game design (e.g. quest design, level design)
Narrative experience in multiplayer games
Leadership and mentoring experience

This is a hybrid or onsite position. Hybrid is 3 days a week in studio. Our studios are located in Troy, NY & Toronto, ON.

The salary for this position is typically within the range specified below per year. Please note that the actual base pay may vary based on factors such as your qualifications, skills, experience, and other relevant considerations.

Canada Salary Range:

Senior $80,000. - $110,000. CAD
