Montreal, Canada Ubisoft Full time

Job Description

As a Game Designer at Ubi MTL, you will be the creative energy behind a specific set of game systems and mechanics. You provide players with tools to build unique gameplay experiences and opportunities to make meaningful choices.

You go through an iterative, hands-on process of adjusting and balancing your design as you bring it from concept to playability. Throughout production, you shift your focus from the big picture to the micro details; tackling hurdles in development and stepping back to asses how all the pieces connect and affect each other. You tweak and tune until it finally happens: a smooth and engaging player experience emerges.

What you’ll do

Drive and own the design of AAA quality 3C (character, controls and camera) gameplay features from conception through final product. Create new systems and features while balancing and tweaking existing ones. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate your assigned features. Develop in-engine prototypes . Adapt to technical and production constraints, reworking your design when and as often as needed. Create and maintain design documentation that will guide interdependent teams.

Qualifications

What you bring

Experience in video game production. It would be ideal if you had experience with single-player 3rd person action adventure games. An ability to recognize great game feel and how to manifest player fantasy into gameplay mechanics. Experience with game engines (e.g. Unity or Unreal) and productivity software (word processors, spreadsheets, etc.) An innovative, empathetic, and collaborative spirit Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills (you’re able to clearly explain your thought process on paper and in person) Critical thinking, curiosity, resourcefulness, and plenty of flexibility A solid understanding of the market and a passion for video games – you play enough to know what makes quality gameplay

What to send our way

Your CV highlighting your education, experience, and skills Samples of your work (attach files or send us a link to your demo reel or online portfolio)

Just a heads up: If you require a work permit, your eligibility may depend on your education and years of relevant work experience, as required by the government.
