[VN] Senior Game Designer

Prague

OUR PROJECT

We're working on an online action-adventure game. An original IP with a distinct identity. An invitation to enjoy fun action and rewarding progression in a challenging sandbox world – solo, or together with friends.

 

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to bring people together to create stories through play. Games that are easy to pick up, but still offer plenty of depth and creativity. Worlds people want to spend time in, where they can express themselves, and have fun working things out together with friends.

 

OUR STUDIO

We’re part of KRAFTON, a collective of independent game studios headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. Our core team is based in the heart of Prague, a UNESCO world heritage site, but we’re a hybrid team with an international outlook, cooperating closely with colleagues in Seoul and beyond.

If this sounds like a good fit for your skills and interests – and you’re looking to join a multinational crew of friendly, open-minded creatives – our studio might just be the perfect next vector.
