We believe that what people play matters. TruPlay produces mobile games that resonate with our 4 Foundations of Fun, Beauty, Excellence, and God’s Truth. With God’s Blessing, we will continue to reach Millions around the world and produce a tremendous amount of economic value for everyone involved.
We are looking for a self-starting, creative, driven and results-focused Game Designer to join our team. If you're looking to make an impact, and the opportunity to work with a fun, collaborative team - we’d love to talk to you! The Game Designer will be focused on driving the design for one of our Faith-based children’s titles. Working directly with the Senior Creative Director(s) of the studio, you will be responsible for driving the implementation of all key game features, mechanics and narratives. With a passion for prototyping and a keen eye for detail, the Game Designer will ensure that the games’ moment-to-moment and long-term play mechanics are fun, engaging and age-appropriate, that they adhere to our 4 Foundations, and match or exceed the quality seen in the top interactive choices available on the app store...all while remaining on schedule and budget.
