Longdue Games is an innovative game development studio focused on creating narrative-driven RPGs that challenge players to make impactful choices. Their first project, HOPETOWN, immerses players in a richly designed world where they take on the role of a journalist exploring themes of chaos, ambition, and morality. The game is set in a mining town facing turmoil, and the player's decisions shape the course of the story, reflecting a commitment to deep storytelling and character development. Longdue Games aims to produce bold and complex gaming experiences that resonate with players on a personal level.

📋 Description

• Write compelling dialogue and narrative events that deepen the connection between characters and the world. • Develop a rich story exploring the interplay between the physical environment and the protagonist’s mental journey. • Contribute to a universe where environments from two interconnected worlds reflect each other in direct and mysterious ways. • Collaborate with designers, artists, programmers, and narrative colleagues to integrate the story with gameplay, role-play, and skill-based checks inspired by TTRPG mechanics.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience in writing for video games, especially RPGs or interactive fiction. Creative writing or screenwriting experience is also highly valued. • Ability to craft a story that explores themes of psychogeography, human psychology, and the dark corners of society. • Ability to develop environments that reflect the character’s internal state, exploring connections between space, mood, and psychology. • Interest in cosmic mysteries, existential questions, and philosophical ideas about society, power, and individual purpose. • Capable of working within a creative team, taking feedback constructively, and contributing to the shared vision of the project. • Familiarity with narrative-heavy RPGs. • Experience in crafting non-combat gameplay loops revolving around storytelling, exploration, and character development. • Knowledge of TTRPG-inspired mechanics such as dialogue reels, dice-based checks, or psychological skill systems. • Experience writing in media other than video games.

🏖️ Benefits

• Creative freedom: We foster an environment where your unique voice and vision can shape a groundbreaking RPG. • Thought-provoking project: Help create a game that challenges conventions, offers a deep philosophical experience, and invites players to explore not only a mysterious world but also the depths of the human psyche. • Flexible working: We are a remote-first studio, offering you the freedom to work from wherever inspiration strikes.
