We’re a small indie team preparing to launch Sol Protocol, a sci-fi co-op VR game, in Early Access (Meta Quest) in mid-May.

Post-launch, we’ll actively expand and refine the game based on player feedback. For this phase, we are looking for a part-time freelance game designer with proven VR game design experience.

• Expanding and refining core gameplay loops
• Light narrative and contextual storytelling suited for VR
• Designing co-op mechanics specifically for VR interaction
• In-game economy and monetization (IAPs, DLC—player-friendly approach)
• Turning player feedback into clear, actionable design iterations

Role & workflow

• Part-time (approx. half-time, flexible)
• Fully remote
• Long-term collaboration preferred
