Game Writer

Arbetsbeskrivning

As a Game Writer, you will join a team of talented game creators to help them translate their gameplay vision; its environments, its characters and its stories; into a compelling story.

Because video games are all about player choices, you will need to create branching flow charts that show the possibilities and variables that the Lead Designer sets for the player, creating interesting dramatic moments, while keeping the coherence of the overall story, within the game boundaries.

You will often work on character development, background story, environment storytelling, and more.

Responsibilities:

- Craft main character stories ensuring an overall quality and coherence within the full game and the boundaries of the game vision and/or license
- Build the background lore, establish story arcs, write dialogue and any other narrative related content required by the project
- Ensure synchronization with the Narrative Lead, Lead Game Designer and Producers, and collaborate closely with the team members who oversee the design of the narrative
- Understand the Leads’ intentions and ensure their vision is translated into words
- Estimate delivery timings, manage own schedule and set priorities, always reporting to production
- Ensure a consistent tone and narrative voice across the whole project

Requirements:

- Diploma of college studies in scriptwriting, literature or filmmaking or any other relevant script-writing career
- 2 to 3 years’ experience in scriptwriting
- Understanding of game design fundamentals and processes
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong organizational skill and ability to work with people in different time-zones
- Ability to collaborate, provide constructive feedback and notes in a timely manner
- Curiosity, sense of observation
- Ability to work well independently and within a team
- Willingness to have an open mind, adapt to feedback and iterative processes

Valuable additional skills:

- Inspired by TV, films, ads, comics, trends, people, society and the world in general
- A genuine interest for gaming
- Any experience working with owners of popular IPs as a writer, is highly valuable
