About Poorly Timed Games
We are a small, remote-only indie studio. We are primarily US-based, but do have some team members abroad. We are really happy to have a diverse studio — as well as a diverse cast of characters within our game — and are always willing to consider diverse and underrepresented minorities. Our leadership is 67% non-cishet white men, and are studio mirrors that as well. Our team has extensive game industry experience having worked on 70+ titles including Destiny, Destiny 2, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, Fortnite, Halo 4, Evil Genius, Ru Paul’s Drag Race: Dragopolis 1 & 2, Mean Girls: The Game, and even the classic Earthbound.
We are currently working on our first (currently unannounced) title: a sci-fi roguelite set in the future in deep space. It is a sRPG with tactics based combat, as well as elements of a roguelite (so the difficulty is a much smoother ramp than many games in this genre). We are extremely excited to finally be able to talk more about the game very soon, as we will be officially revealing the game at PAX West this year (September 3-6). We are currently fully self funded, but should we find a publisher, we hope to make full time offers (at more competitive rates) to the entire team.
Role Qualifications:
- At least four years professional experience programming in Unity (Please do not include school projects in this)
