Opis i wymagania

Jesteśmy globalnym zespołem twórców, scenarzystów, technologów, inicjatorów doświadczeń, innowatorów i wielu innych ekspertów. Wierzymy, że niesamowite gry i doświadczenia zaczynają się od zespołów, które są równie zróżnicowane jak gracze i społeczności, którym służymy. W Electronic Arts jedynym ograniczeniem jest wyobraźnia.
Founded in 2010 by the original creators of the Call of Duty Franchise, Respawn was created with the philosophy that when talented people have creative freedom, they'll make extraordinary games that achieve the unexpected. From our roots as an indie studio to joining the expansive roster of studios at Electronic Arts, this remains our guiding principle. We truly love what we do and want to share our passion with players worldwide. Our shipped titles include critically acclaimed multi-platform games Apex Legends, Titanfall, Titanfall 2, Star Wars™ Jedi: Fallen Order, and Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. Join us for the opportunity to create groundbreaking games with some of the best developer talent in the industry.

  • Communicate effectively across departments to maintain alignment on the overall creative vision.
  • Be open to self-critique and feedback and incorporate ideas from colleagues to continuously improve your work.
  • Contribute to establishing and enforcing consistent design practices, constraints, and metrics throughout projects.
Ideally, you will have...
  • At least 3+ years of experience in the games industry as a combat or systems designer, with involvement in at least one shipped title.
  • Experience designing and implementing combat systems, bosses, and/or enemies using visual scripting or text-based languages.
  • Familiarity with Unreal Engine or similar tools is preferred.
  • Strong prototyping skills to rapidly test new design concepts.
  • Good understanding of game design principles, particularly with regard to timing and mechanics that feel “right” in combat.
  • A problem-solving mindset with a keen attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication skills, especially in cross-disciplinary collaborations.
