Game & Level Designer (Unreal Engine) / Co-Founder

I’m exploring an ambitious project in the interactive entertainment space - a highly cinematic, story-driven experience built in Unreal Engine. The goal is to reach a level of emotional impact and visual quality comparable to global AAA leaders in the narrative genre.

At this stage, I’m assembling a small, focused team to develop a polished 15–20 minute vertical slice. This early prototype will define the game’s tone, gameplay style, and production quality.

I’m looking for a Game & Level Designer (UE5) who wants to shape something meaningful from the ground up - someone who understands the craft behind player flow, tension, pacing, and cinematic gameplay.

This is for people who enjoy early-stage building, big vision, and the challenge of creating something that stands proudly next to the industry’s best.

🟦 What I’m looking for is Co-Founder:

• co-lead the creative direction of gameplay and level design
• take ownership of the vertical slice together with me
• help define the core experience before the studio is built
• collaborate closely on both creative and practical decisions
• contribute part-time in the beginning (flexible), with potential for full involvement later
• work on a reduced-rate + equity model during early development
• You don’t need to quit your job today - you need to believe in the idea and want to help shape something ambitious.

🟦 Who this is perfect for

• has Unreal Engine experience (UE4/UE5)
• has built playable levels or systems before
• loves cinematic narrative games
• wants to be part of something bigger than just a freelance gig
• wants creative ownership, not just a task list

If you’re curious: I’d be happy to chat - even a short conversation to see if the vision aligns.
