Video Game Content Designer (Contract, Part-Time)
About the role
About Soulbound
Soulbound is a top-down pixel art MMO launching on Steam. We've had over 1 million players on browser and have completely rebuilt the game for PC — new engine, new progression system, new narrative framework. We're a remote team of ~20 building something ambitious.
Role Overview
We're looking for Video Game Content Designers — creative, hungry people who want to build content for a live game that reaches millions of players. This is an entry-level role so we don't specify a degree subject, your age, or your background.
Requirements
- You've made stuff. You have a portfolio of something you've created. D&D campaigns, Magic: The Gathering events, mods, short films, game jams, fan fiction, tabletop scenarios, art projects — anything. If you've never created anything, this isn't the role for you.
- You're a gamer. Not casual — you play RPGs, MMORPGs, indie games. You care about questing, narrative, story, and game design. You understand what makes a good quest, a compelling loop, an interesting encounter. Games like World of Warcraft, RuneScape, and classic top-down RPGs excite you.
- You can learn fast and take feedback. You can demonstrate strong critical thinking. You know how to take feedback, iterate, and improve.
What You'll Actually Do
- Design and build quests, encounters, and narrative content using our proprietary systems
- Propose content ideas and pitch them to leadership
- Receive direct feedback from the creative director and leadership team
- Iterate rapidly — our systems update in real time, so you'll see your work live immediately
- Learn to write proposals and present ideas professionally
What This Is (And What It Isn't)
This is your foot in the door in the games industry. You'll build a real portfolio working on a live game with a proven player base. You'll learn how to create, pitch, and ship content at pace. You'll get direct access to studio leadership.
This is not a high-paying role. This is an entry level role — you're here to learn, build, and prove yourself. The games industry is brutally competitive to break into and this is a way in.
