About us:

Leyline Creations is an audacious and newly minted gaming studio based in Munich. We are driven by a passion for crafting groundbreaking games, that focus on roleplaying and strategic depth.
Our debut endeavour will be a cooperative roguelike deckbuilder for PC. Brimming with RPG elements, a difficulty curve bordering on the abusive and with only your partner in crime to help you out, we try to bring the genre we’ve grown to love to its next level.

What we offer:

• Founders coming from Excellence: Before trying his hands on his life-long passion in the gaming sector our Creative Director founded and helped scale an AI Startup from scratch to 250 ppl and a billion dollar evaluation. Our anchor for operations and marketing is a distinguished lawyer who has previously worked in multiple prestigious law firms while finishing his PhD from LMU.
• Shared Success, Shared Sorrow: We believe that every win is sweeter and every loss is bearable when you're in it with your team. We share the profit from our titles and want to have you as a permanent and integral part of the company.
• Smells like Team Spirit: Be part of our office in the heart of Munich, where creativity and teamwork are celebrated. Our team shares a close friendship beyond our work, often spending our free time together diving into the latest roguelikes and exploring new gaming adventures as a team.

• Engineering-first Perspective: Anticipate, manage and drive the technical goals of the studio in constant communication with the other team members.
• Polished, high quality Codebase: We honour our players and want to deliver an immersive experience where the only pain and tears come from the challenges we placed upon them deliberatively.
• Intuition is great, Data is better: A basic understanding of data preprocessing and tools like Firebase or Unity Analytics so we can draw insight from our playerbase and adjust our game design decisions accordingly.
• We offer shared Adventures: Our titles focus on multiplayer first gameplay and even though our first title is an asynchronous turn-based game which limits the networking complexities, a smooth multiplayer experience is a must.

Requirements:

• Know what great looks like: Have 5+ years of experience in game development with at least one shipped, well-received title.
• Hands on Approach: Exceptional ability to work independently, coupled with a deep sense of ownership and responsibility for the quality and success of your work.
