Senior Designer
Love. It is a primal, uncultured energy, shaping you in ways that reason can’t touch. Kind of a gushy, melodramatic word to paint on a NOW HIRING sign, right?
Sure – but for you, this is an emotional science. Games have changed you, and now you’re just itching to return the favor. Maybe the raw potential of simulated experience fascinated you, or the rules and dynamics of play managed to reach into your skull and grab hold in ways that other media couldn’t. However the mark was made, you’ve been a game designer ever since.
But all love has a price. Games make you a little crazy from time to time, because you know how much better they could be. We know how you feel. Come play with us.
