Sr. Designer- MP

Description

If you rattle off kill streaks and kill/death ratios better than your own address, if you spend hours analyzing heat maps and your mantra is “the more the merrier” then this is the spot for you. Insomniac Games is looking for a designer who is uber-versed in the online games genre, and has the ability to filter, digest, and parse (who uses that word!) large amounts of feedback from a variety of sources. We are looking for someone who has a general voracity for collecting design knowledge and honing their respective skills in creating the best player experience.

We are looking for some to take on the major responsibilities of:
• Leading the effort with designers and gameplay programmers to create innovative multiplayer experiences.
• Designing multiplayer maps: creating initial paper-map designs, building 3D rough maps, participating in extensive playtesting sessions, iterating and improving maps based on feedback and playtesting, and working closely with artists when they take over the map to make it look amazing.
• Providing constructive feedback on other designer’s maps (both single-player and multiplayer)
• Helping to oversee and train junior multiplayer designers.
• Creating and maintaining detailed game design documents.
• Participating in the design and implementation of multiplayer HUD and lobby.
• Ensuring the integration of community features to complement gameplay and involve our fan base.
• Partner with our in-house QA Dept, and Core Dept, to collect feedback, and to utilize the latest and greatest components to expedite the design process, to ensure balance and what matters most, the “Fun Factor”
