Game Designer

About the projects

We are currently developing two projects on Unreal Engine:

40 SOULS:

A dark vehicular roguelike centered around a deadly combat machine tournament held for the gods. The game combines run-based progression in a twisted metal-style structure with combat arenas, mid-run events, choices, bosses, progression, weapon systems, vehicles, and faction-based logic.

SPIN:

A futuristic combat racer featuring anti-gravity bikes with an emphasis on speed, pressure, arcade intensity, and a Y2K aesthetic.

Both projects are currently in the demo development stage. At this point, participation is unpaid (non-commercial). The demo phase is planned for approximately 1.5 years. Upon completion of the demo and securing investment, we plan to transition to a paid format.

Our team consists of approximately 60 specialists from various countries, including developers with AA/AAA experience and strong indie backgrounds. We focus on building collective portfolio cases and publishing them alongside the contributors.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a Game Designer for one of our projects: 40 SOULS or SPIN.

This role can be either focused on a specific direction, mechanic, or system, or broader in scope with ownership over core loop, gameplay structure, and systemic game design, depending on your experience and strengths.

We need someone who does not just come up with ideas, but knows how to turn them into working gameplay systems, push them to a playable state, and collaborate effectively with programmers, tech artists, and the rest of the team.

Requirements

• Experience in systemic game design, not just high-level concept work.
• Strong understanding of:
