Greetings!

Are you a creative and dedicated games industry professional with experience in UI design with a passion for 4X, strategy, mobile, and pvp games? Are you ready to design innovative experiences that push the boundaries of modern games? Then you may be the one we’re looking for!

As a Game Designer contractor on our unannounced fast paced, mobile 4X Strategy title, working remotely with the Roamer development team, you will be involved in designing the look and feel of our UI under the guidance of the Head of Product. You will have a direct and influential impact on the quality and feel of the game.

We are seeking new team members that enjoy working in a startup where everyone supports each other but you are also given the freedom and responsibility to take charge of a task and deliver. We’re looking for somebody who’s a problem solver with a great understanding of scope and timelines and is able to adjust designs accordingly.

As a new studio, we have a no-crunch policy and prioritize a constructive, collaborative approach to working. Our company is fully funded too, which means no additional stress on the team!

Your Responsibilities are to…

• Collaborate with the game development team to understand game mechanics, target audience, and game design objectives.
• Design and create user interface elements including menus, buttons, icons, and in-game assets that are visually appealing, easy to navigate and enhance gameplay.
• Create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes of the game’s user interface to present to stakeholders and iterate based on feedback.
• Ensure that the mobile game's user interface design is consistent with the game's overall visual style, branding, and tone.
• Conduct usability testing to identify user pain points and opportunities for improvement in the game's user interface.
• Collaborate with marketing teams to ensure that the game's user interface effectively communicates its value proposition to users and potential users.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in design, graphic design, multimedia, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience designing user interfaces for mobile games, with a strong portfolio demonstrating UI design skills.
• Excellent skills in graphic design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Sketch.
• Experience with Unity3D or other game engines, and understanding of how to design UI that integrates with game mechanics.
• Strong understanding of UX principles, and experience working with UX designers to create seamless user experiences.
• Understanding of mobile game design trends and best practices, and ability to design interfaces that appeal to target audiences.
• Excellent communication skills to work with cross-functional teams, including artists, developers, marketers, and project managers.
