Game Designer – Work From Home in Florida

DESCRIPTION:

We think that games should be played for decades, but many of them are abandoned even when a local community works to keep them alive. DECA specializes in purchasing games from other developers and revitalizing them so that players can enjoy them for decades. When other studies look at an old game, we see a fantastic collection of issues that need to be solved as well as a huge opportunity.

We’re seeking for a designer to support one of our well-known titles and join our team. Through a KPI-driven strategy, you will be directly responsible for ensuring that the game’s features are paced in a way that engages our users.

• Extensive, current knowledge of the free-to-play market, particularly as it relates to mobile platforms.
• Good working knowledge of at least some of the editing packages used in the industry (Unity, PlayFab, CVS file formats etc).
