Narrative Game Designer

Role Description The Narrative Game Designer will be responsible for designing and implementing narrative systems that integrate closely with gameplay and level design. This role will develop story frameworks, write dialogue and in-game text, and collaborate with game designers and developers to ensure narrative beats are reflected in mechanics, environments, and pacing. The designer will create narrative documents, quest structures, and character arcs, iterating based on playtest feedback and team input. Additional tasks include maintaining narrative consistency across platforms, supporting narrative integration in console and mobile experiences, and aligning story elements with the overall creative vision of each project.
Qualifications

Experience in Game Development, including collaboration with programmers, artists, and other designers to implement narrative features.
Familiarity with Console and Mobile Games, and an understanding of how platform constraints and player expectations affect narrative design.
Demonstrated ability to write clear, engaging, and concise in-game narrative content (dialogue, barks, lore, quests, system text).
Comfort with iterative design, playtesting, and incorporating feedback to refine story and gameplay integration.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, especially in remote, cross-disciplinary teams.
Experience with narrative design tools, scripting languages, or game engines (e.g., Unity, Unreal, Ink, Twine) is beneficial.
