London based studio Quell Tech are on a mission to add a talented Game Designer to their team and help them make incredible fitness games.
As a Game Designer at Quell Tech you’ll work with the Design Director and colleagues in design to deliver a cohesive and immersive gameplay experience. You will work on a range of features from core combat and traversal to metagame and GAAS mechanics, and take full ownership of substantive gameplay features, employing a proactive mindset to deliver outstanding results and solving unique design challenges with insightful solutions.
You can also expect to implement design objectives in Unity using powerful proprietary tooling, and as you settle in aim to become a knowledge leader in Quell’s gameplay systems to allow you to propose tooling upgrades to turbo-charge development.
Quell have built a game changing wearable device which adds resistance, powerful haptics, live biometrics, and motion tracking to the player’s actions without the need for a VR set-up. This wearable device will get players fighting, running, leaping, and dodging their way through an unforgettable fantasy world.
The market for Quell Tech’s fitness games is massive and Quell have secured over $15m in funding from top-tier VCs and angels, including Khosla Ventures and the founders of Twitch.
