[games_access] Looking for a Game/Level Designer

[sheryl Flynn]

Hi Group!

Its been exciting reading the commentaries on this list serve.  Thanks for 
letting me be a part of the group.

I wanted to let you all know that I'm looking for a Game/Level Designer 
(immediately) and will be looking for many other team members over the next few 
months.  If you know of anyone who would be interested in being a part of a 
dynamic team that is focused purely on developing video games for 
rehabilitation- please send them my way.  

Most urgently, we are looking for a Game Designer/Level Designer

The game we are working on is nearly completed in terms of overall design (just 
needs a few tweaks here and there) but the levels need more work.  The game is 
built using Unity and will play on a tablet.  We are a small (but growing) team 
and want someone who is passionate about designing for folks with disabilities 
and/or undergoing rehabilitation.  

More specifically, the game is being developed for service members returning 
from the GWOT with mild traumatic brain injury.  

The position is full-time with benefits.  

This is the notice I've put together- feel free to forward to talented 
individuals

        
Game Designer
 
Does the word “Serious Games” or “Games for Health” intrigue you? Have you ever 
wondered how you could give back to the men and women who have given so much for 
our country? Are you interested in creating an innovative video game for service 
members with mild brain injury? Are you interested in working with a dynamic 
group of clinicians, neuroscientists, engineers and programmers who are 
motivated to make games that help people? 

 
Blue Marble Game Co is currently accepting applications for a very talented, 
experienced, passionate game designer.  This person should be fun to work with, 
creative, organized, have excellent communication skills (verbal and written), 
and demonstrate the ability to think way outside the box.  

 
As the Designer, you will be responsible for completing the vision of the game, 
designing puzzles and other mini games, level design, gameflow, communicate with 
the team, receiving feedback input from the research team, participate in whole 
group meetings, ensure production remains timely, 

 
Qualifications
 
Required: Passion for games, passion for serious games, passion for 
rehabilitation games, experience with Unity game engine, strong work ethic, 
creative problem solver, multitasker, working knowledge of game production 
pipeline. Bachelors degree or equivalent.
 
Other qualifications we are looking for are:

for your help with this!

Subject: [games_access] Our First SIG Meeting
Hey everyone, 

It's now time for the first - of many -  monthly SIG meetings. During these 
meetings we can establish the short term SIG  goals, discuss upcoming events to 
ensure they get posted on the website,   do general updates, discuss any 
potential problems and discuss what topics we  would like to see in the forums.

Our meeting will be through a group  Skype conversation. This will allow me to 
post a transcript on our website.  Please add me on skype (tara.tefertiller) to 
ensure you get to be a part of the  meeting. If you don't have skype, you can 
download it for free. If you have any  questions please let me know.

We will be occur in 2 portions to  accommodate the different time zones. You're 
welcome to attend both, but showing  up at just one would be great. 


Our first meeting is going to  be


January 31st - at 1 PM Eastern (New York) and  7:30PM Eastern

This will allow for people in Europe and North  America to participate in the 
evenings. 


I can't wait to see you  there!
