Job Description

🎮 Game Designer – Full-Time, On-Site in Torrance, CA

Join the team behind Saleblazers 👉

How long can you survive on a hostile island as a humble shopkeeper?

Saleblazers is an open-world multiplayer survival shop simulator where you live off the land, build a cozy shop, and fend off nightly horrors. Grow your business, survive the night, and plot your escape—solo or with friends.

As a Game Designer, you’ll own the design and implementation of mechanics and dynamics across both new and existing systems. You’ll collaborate with artists, programmers, producers, and fellow designers to turn bold ideas into polished, player-facing content. Saleblazers is a unique experience where any item can be weaponized or sold as merchandise. Our game thrives on emergent systems and sandbox creativity, so we need designers who are excited by complexity, driven by curiosity, and committed to crafting fun, memorable gameplay moments.

Day-to-day, you'll help design features like:

  • Wielding anything players can pick up as a weapon to define their roles and playstyles
  • Building a custom retail empire
  • Hiring NPC employees to automate shopkeeping
  • Constructing electricity generators to power late-game items like self-checkout machines
  • Selling to dynamic AI customers with unique needs and budgets
  • Gathering, fishing, farming, crafting, buying, fighting for, or stealing to stock store shelves (beware of the police!)
  • A main narrative campaign that takes players across three handcrafted biomes, each with its own boss, storylines, and challenges
  • Surviving a hostile island environment, solo or in multiplayer
  • Coding side quests, mini-bosses, and special orders that bring the open world to life
  • Fishing in local waters and tending gardens
  • PvP invasions and proximity voice chat for unpredictable fun
  • Dedicated server support
  • Researching and crafting over 150 items

Get ready to jump into a unique, sandbox-driven world and help define what’s next!
