SENIOR
GAMEPLAY ENGINEER
Let's
talk some truth: Making games is hard. It's a collision of art and
technology that’s about as predictable as a tornado. There's no secret
formula, no foolproof blueprint—but it certainly helps to have a reason
for making games in the first place. "Every Player's Story is
Unique." At Hangar 13, that's why we make games. We’re currently
creating an intense action game set in an immersive world and with a
strong narrative, but player agency is at the heart of everything we do.
We want to give players the freedom to choose how to overcome
challenges and make meaningful decisions that shape the world and
characters around them.
