Opti Games - Gameplay Designer

Job Overview

At Opti Games I work as a contract game designer working on Sparkball, a 4v4 WASD MOBA. Sparkball is a blend of the MOBA genre with ability based characters and Rocket League ball play mechanics. Teams fight to score goals by disabling enemy towers and killing enemy characters.

I started my contract working on their challenge modes, but I've now moved into a gameplay design focused role working on characters and core systems.

Some of my job is to…

  • Improving character responsiveness and game feel by tuning animations, gameplay effects (e.g. knockback, hit pause), and underlying code to enhance feedback, clarity, and player satisfaction.

  • Enhancing and refining existing game modes, focusing on elevating game feel and replayability and offering unique experiences outside the mainline gameplay.

  • Creating levels that improve player retention by blending intuitive onboarding with escalating, meaningful challenge.

  • Developing Gitbook onboarding content with full character and item guides, applying technical writing principles for clarity and retention.

  • Other duties as assigned.

Other info is currently under NDA, sorry!

Most of my gameplay work is still under NDA. While I expect to share more eventually, I can do so just yet!
