Volunteer Level Designer

• Volunteer
• Remote
• Entry level welcome
• No coding required

We are looking for a volunteer level designer. You do not need commercial experience.

Reflective Realms is building its first Steam title: a 2.5D physics puzzle-action game in a DOS / Windows 3.x aesthetic. The player rolls an AI orb through corrupted computer sectors — tiles, objects, enemies, modules, CRT UI, and a glitchy system-failure atmosphere.

What we need

You lay the levels out in Godot and set their pacing: tilemaps, routes, optional branches, exit conditions, and playtest feedback. Teach the player a mechanic first, then test whether it landed. You work with existing mechanics and assets — no need to write code.

Levels are needed both for solo play and for co-op, and the two pull in different directions: a room that reads well alone can fall apart when two players can split up, and a co-op puzzle can stall a lone player entirely. Designing for both is part of the job, not an afterthought.

A plus

• Comfort with top-down puzzle flow
• Readable telegraphing
• Avoiding soft-locks
• Godot editor or similar tile-based tools

Format

This is unpaid volunteer work for as long as development lasts. In return you get a project for your portfolio that will actually ship. Legally it is not employment: there is no contract and no guaranteed payment.

We agree your share of revenue before you start, so you know the terms up front rather than hoping. It is a share of revenue, though — if the game does not sell there is nothing to divide, and that is fairer said now than later. Agreeing terms binds neither of us.

Where

Remote, flexible hours, small team.

Preferred

Novi Sad, Serbia — for occasional meetups and playtests in person.

Working language

Russian. English is useful but not required.

No big-studio CV required — a strong portfolio, personal level drafts, or game jam work matter more.
