Games Marketing & Community Manager
Overview
Parable Studios is a research-driven indie game studio using AI for core game mechanics with a focus on ethical, sustainable and creative-driven utilisation. Our first title, “Millennium Whisper” is a first-of-its-kind dating simulator and was released into early access on Steam earlier this year. We combine ground-breaking machine learning architectures with royalty-compensated, original creative input (collected in our “actor sessions”) with cutting-edge AI character generation. Our approach tackles the gaming industry’s struggle to integrate recent AI advancements into commercially viable offerings whilst addressing the AI industry’s reluctance to sustainably incorporate the work of creatives, whilst also being 10x more environmentally friendly. Communicating this to our audience has proven challenging.
We are now seeking a creative and driven Marketing & Community Engagement Officer to help us build a strong online presence and grow our visibility through nurturing our community and cultivating relationships with small to medium influencers.
