Game Mechanics Developer

PLEASE READ THE FULL JOB ADVERT BEFORE APPLYING

Company Description

Backstory is a story-writing and world-building platform that brings amazing fiction content from creative minds. Visit us at Backstory.

Role Description

This is a full-time remote role for a Game Mechanics Developer at Backstory. This is a somewhat unusual concept, as you will be contributing to the development of a fictional world simulator, not a game that a user directly plays. To get a better idea you can think of a game like Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings by Paradox, but without a GUI, and just running on autopilot.

Your Expected Interests

• Fictional worlds
• Worldbuilding
• Conlangs (not a requirement, but would be nice)
• Some experience or knowledge of Azgaar

Qualifications

• Game Programming and Gameplay Programming skills
• Proficiency in C++
• Experience in Game Design
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Game Development, or related field
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Ability to work remotely and self-motivate
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team

Attention

This is a sweat equity role. If that isn't suitable for you, please don't apply. We are on a mission to build an MVP for our platform as soon as possible. We are based in the UK, but we're happy to accept team members from around the world.

Skills Required

• Ambition
• Passion
• Drive and determination
• Motivation and enthusiasm
• Long-term foresight
