Top 10 Reasons You Belong Here

1. Cost Of Living = Greater Quality Of Life

   You’ll discover the huge value of a dollar when you come to work for us. The cost of living in Sugar Land, Texas, is well below the average price of other large developer-friendly cities in the United States. Of course the fact that Sugar Land residents pay no state income tax plays a big role, but that is only one factor that makes the quality of life at TimeGate great! For every $1,000 you earn in Sugar Land, here is how much you’ll need to maintain the same lifestyle in other cities, according to CNNMoney.com:
   

    

   New York City (Manhattan), New York	$2,315.39 (131% difference)
   San Francisco, California	$1,910.99 (90% difference)
   Los Angeles, California	$1,712.31 (72% difference)
   San Diego, California	$1,649.32 (64% difference)

   
   In most cases, developers working in these other cities could easily buy a house in Sugar Land (or surrounding areas) for what they are paying for an apartment in their current location. We even have a real estate agent at our disposal to help you do the research once we make an offer!

2. TimeGate Will Help You With the Transition To Sugar Land

   Don’t worry about getting from Point A to Point B. Let TimeGate help you connect the dots with our Relocation Reimbursement Program. We also have a real estate agent that can even help you with research on the area before you accept our offer!

3. An Independent Company With An Incredible Infrastructure

   We have released 7 outstanding, profitable games during our 10-year existence. We work side-by-side with our healthcare and real estate sister companies, sharing their infrastructure and making sure things run smoothly. This allows us to focus on what we do best – making great games! Ultimately, TimeGate’s infrastructure is larger than many publishers in the business. This gives us the freedom to work on the exciting original properties we want to be working on. Check out the unique list of benefits you’ll reap when you join TimeGate!

4. Accuracy And Excellence

   As Houston’s premier video game developer, we have refined our project management methodology to near-perfection through our own adaptation of the agile development methodology. Working in fast-moving, adaptive cross-developmental teams, we meet our milestones, nail our objectives and follow a precise, yet flexible, plan that delivers great games every time while consistently managing a realistic outlook throughout.

5. Great Communications, Even Greater Planning

   We’ve consolidated everything we do into a proprietary studio and project management tool that provides you with your very own “My TimeGate” interface. You will not only know what’s going on at all times, but you can also chime in on any or all key issues. Ultimately, our goal is to keep the outlook for each developer and the project a realistic one by providing you with the same data and information that project management sees. You will get a full demo of this toolset during your onsite interview and, once you see it, you will not want to work under any other system.

6. Your Ideas And Feedback Are Part Of Our Process

   TimeGate respects and listens to its employees. Your ideas will guide the development of our games from conception to release, and you’ll have full influence over your work from start to finish, from deciding time allocations per task to how to approach solving tasks.

7. We’re Growing While Maintaining What Makes TimeGate Great

   Over the past ten years, TimeGate has transformed into a game industry powerhouse. We’ve grown from a small core team of 15 developers who released Kohan to a three-project studio. Our project team sizes average at 30-40 developers per project. Unlike many publisher-owned internal studios, our developers are individually critical to our company’s success. Everyone plays a key role in our projects and no one is just a number.

8. Work Hard, Play Harder

   At TimeGate, we work hard, but we play even harder. From barbecues and movie nights to company dinners and Astros games, we know how to have fun both in the office and off the clock. Read about some of our history of fun at Inside TimeGate.

9. Location, Location, Location

   Located just outside the vibrant, culture-rich city of Houston, Texas, Sugar Land has everything you’ll ever want, no matter what your interests or needs may be. We are the only studio making great games in the third best city to call home in the country (according to CNN/Money’s Best Places to Live survey)!

10. Hone Your Skills And Rise To The Top

    When you’re working at TimeGate, you’ll be developing games with technology on the bleeding-edge of the video game industry. All developers’ systems are being upgraded to dual LCD monitors, quad-core CPU workstations with 4GB of RAM, and the best video cards money can buy. We also have a fully-stocked library of resource materials (books, games, etc.), so you can hone your skills both as you work and at your own leisure.
