Game Designer (Meta, Midcore)

Nekki is a game development studio, the creator of Shadow Fight Arena, Shadow Fight 3, Shadow Fight 2, and Vector. The total number of registered users for our games exceeds 1 billion worldwide. We develop and release games for PC, consoles, and mobile platforms.

Shades is the sequel to the legendary Shadow Fight 2. The game takes all the best from its predecessor, namely dynamic battles with realistic animations, and takes it to a completely new level by adding elements of Roguelike gameplay. The abundance of combat styles and equipment is complemented by a perks system that elevates replayability to unprecedented levels.

We are looking for an experienced Game Designer who would be able to generate and discuss ideas as well as prototype them hands on.

Responsibilities:

• Come up with and fully implement new features to improve the game from the stages of concept to the post-release analysis.

• Remake and refine existing features.

• Write feature documentation.

• Maintain a good quality of project documentation — analyze and give feedback on the existing documentation.

• Calculate balance of the features from gameplay and economic standpoint.

What we are looking for:

• Proven game design experience.

• In-depth understanding of meta-oriented mobile RPG projects.

• Having a habit of playing mobile games and constantly replenishing own reference base.

• Critical thinking.

We offer:

• A great team with a friendly and informal work environment (we share colleagues' interests, play video games together, and organize internal game jams).

• Support of professional development, participation in specialized conferences and educational events.

• Remote work from all over the world.

• Working hours from 10 AM to 7 PM (GMT+3) with possibility of adjustment.

• Competitive salary (depending on professional qualifications).
