Collaborate on stories that define a world
Our Quest Design Team
Our Quest Designers build exciting, challenging gameplay spaces that help tell powerful stories in rich, dynamic open worlds. We split our time between building the story critical gameplay of the main quest, and working with the narrative team to design and develop the quests that bring life to the worlds of our games. The discipline at Guerrilla has three pillars: narrative design (not writing), level design, and scripting. Our Quest team collaborates with almost all other departments in the company, and is at the center of development on our games.
What you will do
As a Quest Designer, you can expect to:
- Build ground-breaking, innovative gameplay experiences that immerse players in the story;
- Own your ideas: build, script and polish them from concept through final implementation;
- Blockmesh level designs that astonish, challenge, and engage players in a variety of ways;
- Design and build interesting combat scenarios and activities for both single-player and multiplayer experiences;
- Cooperate with the entire design team and other departments to maximize use of existing game systems, and support the needs of fellow developers;
- Work with the lead quest designer to shape the type of quests we build, and how we do so;
- Based on our play-test driven development schedule, focus on iteration and polishing of quests and missions.

- Demonstrate proficiency in all three pillars of the role: narrative design, level design, and scripting. Mastery in at least one of these pillars is expected.
