Content Designer
About this role
Do you want to shape a century of revolutions, reforms, and societal transformation? Are you a storyteller who understands that in a grand strategy game, the best narratives emerge from systems? If you are ready to bring your craft and experience to a team that offers challenges, trust, and ownership, we want to hear from you!
Your Goal
As an Experienced Content Designer on Victoria 3, you will be a champion of the player experience with narrative in the game. Victoria 3 spans world history of the Victorian era and lets players lead any country through the most transformative century in human history. Your mission is to envision, design, write, and script narrative content that makes that world feel alive and to raise the quality bar for content across the game.
You will join a design team specializing in narrative design, technical scripting, and systems design. We research diligently and hunt everywhere for inspiration. As an experienced designer, we expect you to take ownership of larger content-focused DLCs from concept through release, and to help less experienced designers grow through reviews and mentorship.
Responsibilities
- Design, write, and implement events, Journal Entries, and other narrative content in American English that fits the tone, themes, and vision of Victoria 3.
- Own content-focused DLCs end-to-end: pitch ideas, prototype, implement, polish, and support your DLC after release.
- Script narrative content and balance it by tuning values using our in-house scripting language.
- Research 19th- and early 20th-century history for both accuracy and inspiration, and craft believable alternative history storylines grounded in that research.
- Review other designers' content and writing, give constructive feedback, and mentor less experienced content designers.
- Define what you need from other disciplines (art, code, QA, localization, and others) and coordinate to deliver on time and to a high-quality standard.
- Raise issues early, propose improvements to
