Junior Content Designer

We are looking for a Junior Content Designer to help scale our venture-backed interactive storytelling platform – Scriptic (BAFTA-nominated and available on Netflix). We are leveraging GenAI tools to produce compelling live-action dramas on mobile. Since our inception, our north star has been to become 'the HBO of story games.'

Our groundbreaking, phone-first format sits at the intersection of film, TV, and games, making it perfectly native to mobile. Our flagship series Dead Man’s Phone won acclaim by putting players in the shoes of a homicide detective solving murders through the smartphone of victims.

The studio closed a $6M round of venture capital in April 2023 (total $10M in funding to-date) led by Tier 1 global gaming venture fund – BITKRAFT – and streaming giant, Amazon. Other notable investors include the unicorn founders of Unity (David Helgason) and Twitch (Kevin Lin).

Scriptic content blends imagery, audio, text & video into a seamless live-action interactive experience, which can be powered by the spectrum of Generative AI tools (MidJourney, GPT-4, ElevenLabs) at a fraction of traditional media costs.

This is an incredible opportunity to join an early-stage startup, poised for breakout success, and be a key player in its scale and growth.

Notable studio achievements:

• 1.5M organic US-led installs Scriptic (iOS and Android)
• AAA b2b partnership with Netflix – $1M content deal (Official Netflix Trailer)
• Groundbreaking application of GenAI tools (VentureBeat, Wall Street Journal, Sky News)
• Viral TikTok presence (75M+ views, Q1 ‘23)

Position: Permanent / Remote First

Responsibilities:

• Support the Content Team in making their stories playable and alive on the Scriptic platform.
• Collaborate with Creatives to craft the player’s journey through each story, designing for the best possible experience.
• Implement structural rewrites on content, cutting and linking up story elements.
• Assist Creatives with the handling of flags, variables, and other game logic.
• Input media (images, video, audio) into the stories, ensuring formatting is correct for the platform.
• Craft interactive experiences using playlists of looping videos, timing different emotions to link with on-screen story text.
• Subtitle audio and video files, keeping the expressiveness of the content.
• Organise and name files to future-proof content.
• Conduct comprehensive playtesting of episodes-in-progress and liaise with QA to fix content bugs (typos, game logic errors, etc.).

Requirements:

• Degree in Game Design, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• Highly organised and logically minded.
• Self-starter and happy to roll up their sleeves in a small team environment.
• Highly organised with strong communication skills.
• Passion for story games and narrative design.

Nice to have experience:

• Experience in Unity or another game engine.
• Experience using source control applications.
• Experience using Twine or other interactive storytelling tools.
• Experience with AI/creative tools.
• Basic knowledge of .json syntax.
• Experience working within a multidisciplinary team.
• Experience with task/bug tracking tools, e.g., JIRA.
