Do you want to write evocative, engaging stories and develop new and existing rules for the Necromunda setting?
Are you excited about working collaboratively within a studio of miniatures designers, artists and writers to produce new lore and rules for games set in the world of Necromunda?
Within the Specialist Design Studio, writers, editors, miniatures designers and artists all work collaboratively under the direction of the Product Design Managers. The Games Developer role is a key position within an integrated, multidisciplinary process of end to end product design.
The role
In this role you will be responsible for creating new lore and developing existing lore, as well as new rules content for the Necromunda miniatures game. You will be expected to take a design brief and turn it into a finished written background piece, or rules section, suitable for a Necromunda publication, in coordination with other teams within the Specialist Design Studio.
To be successful in this role, you will have detailed knowledge of the Necromunda setting, and specifically the Necromunda tabletop wargame. Ideally, you will have publishing or gaming industry experience, but if this is not the case and you are offered a position, this will be at the Trainee level where you will learn the ropes.
This is a busy role and we need someone who can deliver and support exciting written content that fulfils the product brief, to a tight deadline. If you enjoy getting involved in the details and will relish the challenge of taking responsibility for the quality of published material, we want to hear from you!
