Worldspark Studios is currently seeking out AAA veterans to help us build what we call "world-as-a-service", a unique hub-and-spoke take on an interconnected ecosystem of AAA-quality games on the blockchain.

As a Game Director at Worldspark Studios, you will be responsible for the primary direction of our games. You'll work collaboratively with our Creative, Production, and Narrative teams to ideate and hone content/systems, refine through iteration, and work through implementation. You'll also manage a team of skilled designers to ensure your vision and direction is successfully implemented.
Worldspark is unique in that we are working on an ecosystem of games. This position will be hired onto a specific piece of the ecosystem, but is expected to collaborate across the board. The current genres involved are Social Hubs (Second Life/Roblox/FFXIV social aspects), Idle RPG (AFK Arena), and Mobrawler (League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, Battlerite). We're looking for individuals who have experience in at least one of these genres.
