Saw this posted here and thought it deserves its own thread:

Dontnod Entertainment is currently seeking for an experienced Game/Level Designer with a strong RPG/ARPG background to work on their new project for PS4 and XBOX One consoles.

(Google translation, sorry):

• Under the responsibility of Game Director, you will participate in the creation of a video game console.

[KupoNut]

Isn't this just for Life Is Strange?

 

[HyperZone<3]

well heck, that's just great news that they're staffing up for another project.

a studio like this is the kind you worry about surviving this brutal age for developers.

 

[Philippo]

Current gen (especially PS4) is getting a shitload of RPG, i like that.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Final Fantasy VII remake at last!

 

[Acquiescence]

You'd have thought they'd be busy enough with Life is Strange right now.

 

[kubus]

Sounds promising, I really loved Remember Me and I'm happy to hear they get to work on something new!

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Nice! Remember Me was great.

 

[nbnt]

Isn't this just for Life Is Strange?

Nope, Life is Strange is an episodic adventure game, has nothing to do with this project.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I'll take all the rpgs I can get.

 

[chrominance]

You'd have thought they'd be busy enough with Life is Strange right now.

I don't think we know that much about Life Is Strange, but it wouldn't surprise me if the scope for that game was relatively small and thus didn't require a full dev team (or at least not for as long as a Remember Me). Maybe their next big project is actually the RPG.

 

[Manu]

Great. These guys deserve a less generic game than Remember Me to show their true potential.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Consider me intrigued.

I really enjoyed Remember Me and Life is Strange looks interesting too. Can't wait to see what they're working on.

 

[Skux]

Remember Me 2: Never Forget

 

[BronsonLee]

Gimme all their damn art design!

 

[Ramenman]

They can actually have 2 projects at the same time ? Good for them i guess.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Great. These guys deserve a less generic game than Remember Me to show their true potential.

Remember Me is generic? Guess we didn't play the same game.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Remember Me is generic? Guess we didn't play the same game.

Have you read any cyberpunk book in the last 30 years?

 

[Valnen]

I'll take all the rpgs I can get.

Agreed. I'm glad we're seeing more so early on in the generation than we did last generation.

 

[threelights]

Level designer? Hey I could do that. I have plenty of experience. I've beaten Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2

Spoiler

(okay I didn't beat this one, but it's fine)

.


Anyway, good luck to Dontnod, hopefully Life is Strange is good and they get some popularity for this game.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Good. The more current gen RPG's the better.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Hope they get more support this time

 

[ezekial45]

Great to hear! They did a really neat job with Remember Me.

 

[system11]

Loved Remember Me, one of the special games from the previous generation based on atmosphere, art, soundtrack and story.

 

[Cole Slaw]

Is it known who the publisher is supposed to be?

 

[LurkerPrime]

If it's as good as Remember Me, I'll be very pleased indeed.

DONTNOD's ability to realise their imagination is something more developers need.

RealEdit: Wait, a mechanically-oriented RPG? HELL YEAH! Keep fighting the good fight, DONTNOD.

I think these mid range developers are trying to work on a couple games at a time so that if one falls through the studio still survives. Ninja Theory has a few games in development, too - Hellblade is a very small part of their studio, only a 12 person team. I bet Life is Strange is similar. Being an episodic adventure game, it's probably well suited to a small team.
