Narrative lead - Project Curie

We're the Curie Team, and we’re creating new magic. Interested in joining us in building a new world of adventures? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who wants to be a part of building a next-generation MMO from the ground up!

We love horses and the community that has been built around the Star Stable Online universe, but we are ready to move out of our comfort zone into a new world of adventures... without horses .

THE QUEST

We have a vision of the new game, but we need more than that. So this is where we hope you will build some magic together with us.

Our Narrative Lead will be responsible for how stories are told in Curie, ensuring that the game’s creative vision is respected during the production phases..

To be successful, you need to be comfortable as a mentor to a diverse team of writers on non-linear stories and enthusiastic about the tools, pipelines and planning for narrative content.

We're at the beginning of our journey and preparing to move into Pre-Production on this title that will let players explore epic worlds, build connections with others, and express themselves creatively. We like stories, but we also think the most compelling stories are those the players tell themselves. Our flagship MMO Star Stable Online is in its 10th year of continuous updates with a community that continues to grow in size and passion. That’s our bar for success.

THE MISSION FOR THE TEAM

This new game is something totally different, so the team that builds it really needs to be daring and driven and have our values in the backpack. We all need to be good collaborators and communicators.

We know that we will try small and fail fast. We will be open to feedback and let our audience grow with us. We know when to ask for help and how to share our knowledge with others. And we do know that at this stage, perfection is the enemy of success.

To help you during this journey you will have a whole company with many years of experience and support functions. You’ll join our growing team in shaping the vision and bringing this new product to life to delight new audiences.

WHAT YOU BRING

It is important for us that we all share passion and excitement around ambitious games that grow in dialogue with their audience. This project and this role requires you to have a pioneer mindset and enjoy experimenting and breaking new ground.

Our team is small, lean, and close-knit. We love to work towards the same goals through self-ownership and autonomous but collaborative workflows. The Narrative Lead must have a creative, spider-in-the-web mindset. We need you to be comfortable with editing, not only writing, and clearly communicating with the team to ensure our threads don’t get tangled.

Additionally, experience in building storylet based systems and an understanding of live-ops and “living stories” is key to this role. As a bonus, experience or expertise in user-generated content and tools is a plus!
