Job Details

Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. As the most played video game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience.

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As a Rioter in China, you'll join a team of internationally and culturally diverse professionals that share our prioritization of player experience, rejection of convention and maniacal passion for gaming.

To reinforce Riot’s collaborative culture in our China offices, we’ve decided to do away with the constraints of traditional hierarchical title structures that are more common in the region. Titles don’t really matter at any of Riot’s offices, but we chose to take this extra step in our China offices to foster a space where teamwork thrives. We believe that removing this constraint will promote individual autonomy, ownership, collaboration, and a focus on results. We promise you won’t need a title at Riot to make an impact.

工作内容和要求:

  • 研发阶段的叙事设计,包括剧本和故事创作,以及游戏内的落地实现
  • 能够撰写清晰易读的文档,方便与非策划职能的同事协作沟通
  • 较强的沟通与合作能力,能够积极接受反馈,主动推进合作,落地工作认真负责
  • 与其他职能团队协作,共同把设计实现到游戏版本中,并能够根据测试反馈进行迭代
  • 3年以上叙事策划从业经验
  • 熟悉英雄联盟的世界观和角色
  • 擅长叙事内容的写作和改编
  • 具有整合叙事设计和游戏玩法的设计思维

工作交付期望:

  • 基于英雄联盟世界观的剧本和角色故事创作
  • 使用 Unreal 引擎和任务配置工具,将叙事台本落地实现为游戏内可体验的任务流程
  • 逻辑清晰,条理分明的策划设计文档
  • 配合程序进行功能开发,进行功能验收和迭代优化
  • UI资源和音频资源的配置工作
  • 调研竞品并输出调研分析文档

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will look at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about the experiences of players, this could be the role for you!

Employment Type: employment contract with FESCO Adecco, a professional personnel company in China.
