Job description

Game Designer – Combat Encounters (Project Hire)

That's No Moon is an independent studio creating narrative-driven AAA experiences. We are seeking a Game Designer to focus on combat encounters, working with experienced developers to push innovation and fidelity for next-gen gameplay and storytelling.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and iterate on combat encounters with AI and event scripting.
  • Prototype encounter ideas independently and communicate your vision to the team.
  • Collaborate with producers to plan, prioritize, and scope encounter designs.
  • Work with cross-functional departments (art, production, audio) to ensure encounters align with narrative and design vision.

Requirements & Skills

  • Strong interest and knowledge of the type of game We are making.
  • Experience shipping games in Unreal Engine.
  • Familiarity with art packages such as Maya, 3ds Max, and Adobe suite is a plus.
  • Basic scripting skills (e.g., XML, PERL, C++) is ideal but not required.
  • Qualities

  • Cinematic eye; conceptualize encounters that support narrative and communicate clearly visually to directors.
  • Ownership of your content; responsible for shipping concepts after approval.
  • Creativity; prototype ideas that we would never conceptualized.
  • Proactive; pitch concepts you believe will make the game better.
  • Generalist; learn skills that help complete vision (prototype assets, animation, VFX, mocap, audio, blueprint, etc.).
  • Technical; comfortable with scripting and learning new software.
  • Responsible; check-in script and level content without breaking the build.
  • Compensation & Benefits

    Project Hire salary estimate : $89,000 – $111,000 (U.S. only). TNM Project Hire employees are eligible for medical, dental, vision, 401(k) matching, and flexible PTO.
