PortaPlay is looking for a unpaid game design / level design intern to help us improve our atmospheric and calm-paced real-time-tactics PC game Tales from the Void, launching in Q2 this year.
A designer who can help us test, tweak and improve our levels, add puzzle-like areas, make combat balancing and generally improve the "feel" of the levels.

Tales from the Void is a game is about a group of WW1 soldiers stranded on an alien asteroid field, trying to get back to Earth.
The game is all about squad customization, loot, low-g movement and physics based combat, in maze-like free-floating 3D levels. And features mechanics like path-drawing, free roaming on 3D levels, bullet-time based turn planning, physics based gun-play, coordinated attacks, strange weapons and aliens etc.

The core gameplay, majority of levels, interactive elements, aliens, weapons, controls etc. are all done, leaving you with only the fun parts - improving the immersion and "fun factor" of the gameplay.

Check out our demo-trailer, for a impression of the game:
