Hiring: Polish Up the Help Text for Lancer Tactics! (Technical Writer/Editor)


We’re looking for an experienced technical writer who can help make our in-game texts shine.

If you’re someone who knows the ins-and-outs of Lancer’s mechanics, you might be just who we need. We’re looking to take the descriptions and rules of the Lancer Core book and adapt them to Lancer Tactics: clarifying/refining language, making sure mechanics and rules fit the Lancer Tactics universe, as well as parsing and tagging terms for our digital engine.

NOTE: This is a contract position for 40 hours of work with opportunity for extension.

Responsibilities

  • Edit in-game text for clarity and content.
  • Adapt tabletop-centric descriptions from the Lancer sourcebook to the digital game
  • Format texts for in-game usage and preparation for translation/localization
  • Work with the Lancer Tactics Core Team to identify design issues and help create solutions

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience working with tabletop RPGs and/or turn-based strategy games
  • Minimum 2 years of technical writing/editing experience
  • Strong knowledge of Lancer TTRPG (or other tactical TTRPGs)
  • Fluency with Google Sheets
  • Ability to communicate clearly and often
  • Team is based in Pacific Time, but willing to work with anyone globally

Compensation

  • $30/hr USD

To apply, send an email introducing yourself with your qualifications to contact@wick.works. These emails will be read by us on the Core Team, so don’t be afraid to show us some of your personality (we’d prefer it that way).

Do not use AI to generate your email to us. That would make us sad.
