Since 1991, 3D Realms has developed million selling games like Duke Nukem 3D and helped produce million selling titles like Max Payne and Prey. We're stable because we've always been independent and we have the freedom to create the kinds of games that we want to play, while staying at arm's length from a publisher's control. If you're interested in being a part of a passionate independent team that loves games, and only wants to create the best, then we'd love to hear from you.
We are looking for level designers (professional or amateur) with the following attributes.
Responsibilities:
* Build levels for a first person shooter in a heavily modified Unreal engine. * Design puzzles and game play sequences, alone, and collaborating with others. * Diverse skill set balancing all aspects of level design (design, construction, scripting, lighting/art).
Requirements:
* A love of First Person Shooter games. You must be able to critique the big games and be able to discuss them at length. * Demonstrable experience/portfolio showing fun and visually impressive levels for a First Person Shooter. * Work well in a team environment. Strong communication skills. * Be goal oriented with an eye toward finishing things to shippable levels. * Very strong game design skills. Building a level is the easy part. The hard part is coming up with why you should build it to begin with, or why people will remember it in 5 years.
Pluses:
* Artistic skills. * Programming / scripting experience. * Professional industry experience. * Experience with UnrealEd (any version).
Benefits:
* Competitive salary, based on skill and experience. * All moving expenses paid. * Fully paid Medical / Dental benefits. * 401k program. * You share in the profits of every dollar we make, on the games you ship, as long as you are employed here. * Small close-knit company and team. * No state tax. Low cost of living compared to many places.
