Hi, my name is Gru and I am the head of Ennoble Studios (2 Steam games, http://www.ennoble-studios.com/).
I am currently between projects and looking to complete a core team. Currently there's me (programmer, 3+ years in Unity, 5+ years in IT/software employed, asset store developer) and also an experienced 3D artist (several steam games, art lead and consultation on big projects).
We are looking for a game designer that is reliable and willing to help with the project from ground up. The game will go on Desktop platforms and will be published on Steam (I have the publisher ready). If you are free and willing to commit seriously to something (~6 months scale) then I believe this is a great opportunity for any designer to start with a capable team working on the project from the start.
We have a few ideas that we're brainstorming currently, but nothing is set in stone.
We are looking both for a Designer and Promoter.

- Developing and balancing game mechanics
- Creation of additional gameplay elements, such as achievements, upgrades, perks etc.
- Interface conceptual design and testing, both in game and in the menus
- Creative/narrative writing
- Creation of game characters, backstory, dialogue, plot
- Campaign level design with focus on pacing and introduction of gameplay elements
Game Designer Skills:
- Be imaginative and creative.
- Ability to communicate the vision clearly, on paper or verbally. Ability to articulate it both in terms of crucial game mechanics and tasks required to complete the working. Have good written and verbal communication skills.
- Be able to work in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams, in different time zones.
- Be able to accept constructive feedback on the work. Be able to adjust the vision and iterate based on circumstances.
- Have good basic visual design and drawing skills.
- Be fluent in Unity engine. Understand the basics of scripting.
- Possess a thorough understanding of game play theory.

- Be skilled in information design and user interface design.

- Optional: Have other languages fluent in besides English.

We are looking for serious people willing to commit at least 20 hrs/week to the game.
