- Challenge & Economy Design: Build and balance in-game challenges and economy systems to maintain player engagement and progression over time.
- Prototyping and Documentation: Create and maintain detailed game design documents (GDD) and prototypes that communicate your vision clearly to development teams. These will include mechanics, systems, player flows, and interactions.
- Collaborative Development: Work closely with other game designers, developers, and artists to implement features that respect the overall creative direction, ensuring the gameplay meets the project’s goals.
- Playtesting and Iteration: Participate in regular playtesting sessions, gathering feedback and using data to balance and optimize gameplay features, improving user experience across different playstyles.
- Anime IP Integration: Respect the unique anime universe, ensuring that game mechanics and design choices align with the style, themes, and characters of the IP.
- Mobile Game Design Experience: Proven experience in mobile game design, particularly in strategy or 4X games.
- Unity Expertise: Experience working with Unity to create and implement gameplay systems, tweak UI/UX elements, and collaborate effectively with development teams.
- Game Design Tools: Proficiency with tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or similar for wireframes and flowcharts, and working knowledge of prototyping tools.

- Prior experience working on 4X strategy or base-building games.
- Knowledge of blockchain and decentralized networks (although not required, it will be a plus given the optional blockchain elements in the game).
- Remote Flexibility: Work remotely within time zones from East Coast US to Japan, with hybrid options if you’re based in Paris or Tokyo.
