The Mission
We’re looking for a Live Content / Quest Designer who can own the weekly playable experience.
You’ll be the architect of short-form content: tight quests, emotional arcs, narrative moments, repeatable missions, and world-building that actually plays. You’ll have a stable build 7 days a week, and push content into dev/production whenever you want.
You’ll work directly with narrative, design, and live ops — with a direct line to the founder.
You’ll design content that launches weekly and lives in the game forever.
You’ll be given full autonomy to design and own:
* Quest formats
* Dialogue flows
* Story arcs (1–2 week loops)
* Repeatable content templates (e.g., faction dailies, bounty boards)
* Event scripting
* Narrative-driven reward loops
Why This Is the Best Job in the World for a Quest Designer
We’ve built the most advanced LiveOps quest-building system the industry has ever seen — and it’s 100% in-browser.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building quests in a 2D pixel MMORPG, with a real playerbase and a live world, this is where you thrive.
Building a quest takes minutes, not hours. And it’s safe — fully sandboxed and QA-tested. Here’s how it works:
* Open your browser, load the editor, drag and drop nodes.
* Move characters around the world, animate them with ease.
* Create branching dialogues and choose your own adventure narratives.
* Trigger animations, VO, and emotional prompts — auto-generated on the fly.
* Create and give items. Spawn cutscenes. Trigger events.
* Hit “reload” in-game. Your quest is live and playable — instantly.
No long builds. No publishing waits. No red tape.
