Job Description

Free Range Games grows games the old fashioned way: we don’t put our team in cages, we work distributedly, and we don’t use toxic work/life trade-offs. Some of our crafters have worked together from PS1 to PS5 and will tell you about carving games one triangle at a time from punch cards.

We are some of the folk behind Spider-man, Tony Hawk, Lord of the Rings, Twitch Sings, Oddworld, Callisto Protocol, Shrek Super Slam, and dozens of mobile and web games. We believe every member of the team has a voice in what the game should be.

We prioritize community, family, and love-of-gaming over process, crunching, and TPS reports. And maybe that’s what you want too.

As a Quest Designer at Free Range Games, you will be an integral part of the team, contributing to the creation of memorable quests that blend narrative, gameplay, and combat elements. Proficiency in visual scripting and familiarity with Unreal Engine 5 will be valuable assets as you work closely with narrative and level designers to craft impactful player experiences. This role offers an opportunity for growth, collaboration, and the chance to contribute to the unique storytelling in our game.

  • Participate in agile development meetings, contributing to both daily and weekly discussions.
  • Collaborate with design, narrative, and research teams to brainstorm and ideate quest ideas.
  • Implement quest-specific mechanics using Unreal Blueprints as well as in-house tools and features for quest development.to prototype concepts and visions.
  • Block out gameplay spaces for your Quest as needed and iterate on the layouts together with Level Designers.
  • Showcase a passion for storytelling and creating engaging narratives within a game context.
  • Adaptability to work in a dynamic team environment, taking on challenges and proposing creative solutions.
  • Contribute to crafting quests that resonate with diverse player audiences.
  • Collaborate with the team to infuse quests with surprise, intrigue, and engagement.
  • Dive into the game's lore and narrative to create memorable story-driven quests.
  • Collaborate with engineering and technical design teams to enhance tools for efficient content creation.


Requirements:

  • Minimum 2-4 years of experience in quest design.
  • Experience contributing to at least one shipped game title.
  • Familiarity with Unreal Engine 4 and a willingness to learn and adapt to Unreal Engine 5.
  • Basic understanding of Unreal Blueprints and Layout Tools.
  • Strong communication skills for effective collaboration in a remote setting.
  • Ability to document and communicate ideas clearly and persuasively.
    Salary Range: $65,000 - $110,000
