Narrative Designer / Game Writer

About the Project

This is a narrative-driven, third-person card game exploring the heavy toll of virtue and the allure of vice. While the core mechanics and story beats are established, the visual soul and narrative depth of the world are waiting to be born.

Currently, Gamementors LLC is a studio recruiting a specialized team for production and publishing of White Magic Jack. During the pre-production stage the studio is looking for two key contract roles to lead manifestation of the creative direction.

Open Role 1: Narrative Designer / Game Writer

Focus: Dialogue, Philosophy & Thematic Structure

The Mission:

The heart of White Magic Jack lies in its philosophical core. We are seeking a Narrative Designer to flesh out the existing story outline and write compelling, virtue-centric dialogue. The narrative requires a delicate balance between the gameplay mechanics of a card game and the immersive qualities of a third-person journey.

Key Responsibilities:

• Dialogue Systems: Write branching conversations that challenge the player's understanding of "virtue" and "vice."
• World Building: Expand the lore of the Celestial Gardens and Hell's Casino, giving distinct voices to the inhabitants of both realms.
• Scriptwriting: Formalize the general storyline into a development-ready script, ensuring the transition between the two major biomes feels earned and impactful.

Ideal Candidate:

• Experience writing for RPGs or narrative-heavy games.
• Strong grasp of philosophical themes and character-driven storytelling.
• Ability to write concise, impactful text suitable for card mechanics.

Open Role 2: Concept Artist

Focus: Visual Development & Environment Design

The Mission:

Your primary goal is to make the vision approachable for development. We do not just need beautiful illustrations; we need visual problem-solving that translates abstract narrative ideas into concrete blueprints for production.

The World You Will Build:

• The game takes the protagonist, the "White Sage," on a bi-tonal journey. You will be responsible for conceptualizing two distinct, contrasting aesthetics:
• The Celestial Gardens: An ethereal, organic realm of high virtue. Visualize "holy" without the cliché—focus on light, flora, and serenity.
• Hell’s Casino: A jarring transition into a world of high stakes and mechanical vice. This environment is industrial, oppressive, and seductive.

Key Responsibilities:

• Environmental Design: Create mood boards and environmental concepts that establish the stark contrast between the Gardens and the Casino.
• Character Visualization: Design the "White Sage" and the denizens of both realms. How does the Sage’s appearance change (or remain constant) as they descend?Asset
• Language: Conceptualize the look of the cards and the UI. How does a card game visually fit into a third-person narrative world?
• Style Guides: Create the initial style guide that will help onboard future artists as the team grows.

Ideal Candidate:

• Strong portfolio demonstrating ability in both organic/nature environments and architectural/hard-surface designs.
• Storyteller: You understand that concept art is narrative. Every prop should tell us something about the "Virtue" or "Vice" of the world.
• Collaborative Spirit: As one of the first team members, you will work directly with the creator to iterate on the core vision.
• Experience designing with Unreal Engine 5.

Compensation & Benefits

• This position is offered as an Independent Contractor (1099) role. Please read the compensation model carefully.
• Revenue Share Compensation: Compensation is based solely on a pre-determined share of generated revenue upon the project's release. There is no guaranteed base salary or hourly rate provided for this position at this stage.
• Asset & Portfolio Growth: Develop and contribute high-quality assets to a commercial title, significantly expanding your professional portfolio while utilizing the latest industry technology (UE 5.7).
• Professional Collaboration: Engage with experienced developers in a structured, professional project environment.
• 100% Remote Flexibility: Complete geographic and schedule flexibility. Work asynchronously from anywhere in the USA or authorized country.



Requirements & Compliance

• To ensure a successful partnership, applicants must meet the following criteria:
• Work Authorization: Applicants must be presently and permanently authorized to work in the USA or their country of residence. This position is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.
• Contractor Status: To maintain our independent contractor relationship, you are required to ensure full compliance with all local labor laws. You must be capable of operating as a Business-to-Business (B2B) entity or a fully independent contractor without risk of employee misclassification.
