Timedrift Collective hires solo game developers to lead original titles — full-time. You bring the vision, the hands, and the creative fire. We bring salary, structure, and a support team to help you ship successfully.
Most studios revolve around teams. We’re building a studio around individual creators.
Timedrift is a new kind of game studio for a new kind of developer — one who works fast, stays small, and builds smart using modern AI tools. We don’t invest in game pitches. We hire the people who can lead them.
When you join Timedrift, you become the Game Director of your own project. You’ll work full-time — with salary, benefits, and vision control — while we support you in shaping and shipping the game you want to make.
You’d be doing the work anyway. Now you’ll get the structure and support to go further, faster.
Tell us about yourself, what you’ve built, and what kind of game you want to lead.
If it’s a fit, we bring you on as a full-time Game Director. You earn a salary and benefits from day one.
You’ll define the game you want to build — with collaborative support from us to shape, scope, and validate it along the way.
Use AI, off-the-shelf systems, and streamlined workflows to move quickly and execute with focus and autonomy.
Most games aim to launch in 9–12 months. When yours ships, we share in the outcome — including the revenue it earns.
We’re looking for creators who are ready to take the lead — not just build a game, but direct one entirely on their own, with our light-touch support behind the scenes.
You might be a fit if:
Not sure if you're a perfect fit? Reach out anyway. Some of the best collaborations start with a simple conversation.
Timedrift isn’t built around traditional departments — but we do hire experienced devs to support solo creators behind the scenes.
If you’ve shipped games and know how to support others without taking over, you might be a fit for our creative support team. These roles help solo creators sustain momentum — assisting with polish, testing, content tuning, and anything else that lets the game ship strong.
Learn About Support RolesFull-time employment. You’ll be on payroll, with benefits, working as the Game Director of your own title.
No. We’re hiring people, not pitches. We’ll shape the right game together once you’re onboard.
No penalties. We work together to restart or evolve the idea. You’re still salaried and supported.
We aim to ship in 9–12 months, but timelines flex based on scope and quality. The goal is to finish — not flounder.
We offer competitive salary, benefits, and revenue share. It’s not a freelance gig or a profit-share-only promise — it’s a real job.
We’re looking for strong solo builders, but we’re not trying to be exclusive for its own sake. If you’ve got execution chops and a strong perspective, we want to talk.
