As a Game Designer at Ubisoft Pune, you will be the creative energy behind a specific set of game creatives, systems and mechanics. You provide players with tools to build unique gameplay experiences and opportunities to make meaningful choices.

You go through an iterative, hands-on process of adjusting and balancing your design as you bring it from concept to playability. Throughout production, you shift your focus from the big picture to the micro details; tackling hurdles in development and stepping back to assess how all the pieces connect and affect each other. You tweak and tune until it finally happens: a smooth and engaging player experience emerges.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate your assigned features.
• Handy Developing paper, physical or in-engine prototypes and evaluate the design.
• Adapt to technical and production constraints, reworking your design when and as often as needed.
• Participate in finding solutions to fix buggy features.
• Create and maintain design documentation that will guide interdependent teams.
• Follow up on features post-launch to improve, add, or remove components.
