Senior Writer II Job at Lightspeed Studios in California

Lightspeed Studios
California, MO Full Time
POSTED ON 1/19/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/16/2025

Welcome to Lightspeed LA, the first U.S.-based, AAA game development studio for Tencent Games. Lightspeed LA is focused on building open-world games that emphasize an ambitious living world, sophisticated player-driven gameplay, and mature, thoughtful storytelling. We are developing the first in a series of genre-defining titles.

For us, it’s not only about the exciting, new AAA open world game we’re developing but also about team values and studio culture. We foster an open and transparent environment where everyone feels comfortable providing constructive feedback about all aspects of our games.

We encourage the showing of work that’s still in progress. We don’t attack or question unfinished work, we celebrate its promise. We have a No Blame Culture where we blame the problem, not the person. This is a safe place to fail, and we don't view failure as a negative, but as the natural result of pushing boundaries and trying new things. We create together. We face challenges together. We succeed together.
