Table Knight Games is looking for an experienced Sound Effects Designer to support us in the development of UnderMire, our newly announced co-op roguelite adventure. UnderMire is set in an exciting new world rich with adventure, danger, and playfulness, and an ambience of teen-friendly thrills and spookiness.

We're building the game in Unity with a small fully remote team across North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East.

Work will be contracted and delivered on a milestone basis. This is not a full time role. This job posting relates to our next milestone, our internal MVP deliverable in the coming months containing a variety of gameplay and content.

This role presents a huge opportunity to help shape our audio vision and put your creative stamp onto the sound effects across the game, focusing on gameplay, UI, and ambient environmental sounds.

You will be able to use any authoring software of your choice, provided you have the appropriate license for its usage. We will not be using any middleware solution for integration - this means we will be receiving sound files from you directly, coordinated via a master spreadsheet that we will share with you. We will keep in close communication throughout the project through Discord to discuss and iterate on your work, and we will provide you with regular builds of the game on Steam to play and review your work.

 

Responsibilities include:

  • Collaborate closely with the Game Director to refine and develop the audio direction and aesthetic for the project.
  • Work with our pipeline for delivering, testing, reviewing, iterating, and documenting the audio.
  • Be available for a video/voice call 1-2 times per week on our Discord channels, during our core team hours (12.30pm - 4.30pm UTC)
  • Be available to chat over text regularly on our Discord channels, also during our core hours, to discuss your work.
  • Design, record, mix, and deliver all sound effects needed for the milestones. Our audio needs span a huge variety of topics including the player, enemies, the environment, items, equipment, menus and UI, and more.
  • Lightweight self-production skills - be able to accurately estimate and breakdown tasks into realistic deliverables for each milestone.

 

Experience and qualifications required:

  • Experience designing sound effects on other shipped games.
  • Knowledge of audio deliverables, pipelines, and development tools needed across the development life cycle.
  • Proven expertise in sound design and mixing.
  • Be able to discuss your design process and philosophy in depth using examples from your portfolio.
  • A deep love of Nintendo and indie games.
  • A keen ear for great audio stingers, hooks, beats, and non-diegetic sounds.
  • Strong communication skills in English to collaborate with team members around the world.
  • Ability to self-manage, organize, and prioritize work based on the milestones.
