Original job description

From dodgeball in the streets to racetracks in your living room, we've always been more interested in asking "what if?" than following a roadmap. Whether we're dreaming up a chaotic game of hide & seek in the dark or putting a legendary space fox back in the pilot's seat, that inventor's mindset runs through everything we do. We make games for people who appreciate craft and a little bit of magic. If you're curious, you'll be in good company.

Are you a combat designer who obsesses about enemy behavior, abilities and hit boxes? Do you have experience collaborating with VFX artists and animators to deliver visceral, engaging and challenging combat encounters? If making sword swings, shield blocks and boss encounters feel "just right" is your jam, we'd love to hear from you about helping us make a great new ARPG based on a premiere fantasy IP!

Velan Studios is entering pre-production on this title and we are looking for a talented Combat Designer who can drive critical early-stage design decisions and then implement compelling encounter design throughout the project.

Responsibilities

Define the combat behaviors of enemies, allies and bosses
Collaborate closely in cross-discipline teams
Work in cross-disciplinary teams to implement various enemy units and encounters

Requirements

2+ years of design experience
Experience in boss design in an action or RPG setting
General scripting proficiency
Solid cross-disciplinary communication skills

Big Plusses

Experience in Co-Op games
Experience in isometric ARPG combat

This is a hybrid or onsite position. Hybrid is 3 days a week in studio - Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Our studios is located in Toronto, ON.

The salary for this position is typically within the range specified below per year. Please note that the actual base pay may vary based on factors such as your qualifications, skills, experience, and other relevant considerations.

Canada Salary Range:

Mid-Level $60,000. - $80,000. CAD

Velan Studios is dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you are excited about a role, but your experience doesn't align perfectly, we encourage you to submit a General Application. Velan Studios is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion, diversity, and providing a workplace free from discrimination and harassment. We seek to create a work culture that matches the diversity of our players.
