Onlyplay is an innovative game development company specializing in creating unique gaming experiences. We continue to grow and are looking for an experienced Level Designer to join our team.

🎯 Role Purpose:

Developing levels for a mobile isometric action-horror game: building navigation schemes, compositing the location, setting up gameplay areas, lighting, decor, and performing basic environment modeling (within the given style).

✅ Your future responsibilities:

Level planning and concepting:

• Development of sketches, schemes, and blockouts for future levels.
• Consideration of player navigation, tension, rhythm, cinematic composition, and scripted events.

Level Assembly in Unity:

• Working with existing 3D assets (modules, props, decorations).
• Building modular design scenes optimized for mobile (URP).
• Setting up triggers, spawners, lighting zones, and post-processing volumes.

Environment Modeling:

• Creating simple low-poly or mid-poly models for levels (walls, furniture, equipment, debris, etc.).
• UV unwrapping and basic texturing using trim sheets, atlases, or simple material blends.

Scene Optimization:

• Working with occlusion culling, LOD, light baking (including light probes).
• Preparing levels for release: navigation checks, boundary validation, shader and lighting review.

💼 Requirements:

• Experience with Unity, Unreal, Godot, or similar engines (at least one).
• Basic understanding of navigation, physics, and lighting systems.
• Proficiency with ProBuilder or other blockout tools.
• Knowledge of prefab-based workflow and scene composition.
• Experience with 3D DCC tools: Blender / Maya / 3ds Max (priority: Blender).
• Basic to intermediate UV mapping and texturing skills (Substance Painter / Photoshop / Quixel).
• Understanding of gameplay space design: choke points, safe zones, ambushes.
• Ability to collaborate with game designers, programmers, and artists.
• Independence in decision-making regarding level composition.
• Attention to detail and environmental storytelling.
• Fluency in the Ukrainian language

🔮 Nice to Have:

• Experience with survival horror or action horror games.
• Understanding of narrative structure and scene composition.
• Ability to create effects using Shader Graph or VFX Graph.
• Insight into player psychology — how to create tension, surprise, and orientation.
• Experience using GIT in a team environment.

We Offer:

• Remote work from anywhere in the world.
• Flexible working hours: 10:00/11:00 — 19:00/20:00 (Mon—Fri).
• A collaborative international team with ambitious goals.
• Involvement in building an innovative product and a growing team of professionals.
• Competitive and stable compensation (based on interview results).
• Paid vacation and sick leave.
• Career growth and professional development opportunities.
• Space for your own ideas and creative initiatives.
• Freedom in decision-making and a bureaucracy-free environment.
