Gaming Industry Insights From the X-Team Community
At X-Team, we provide outsourced Godot game developers who act like long-term teammates—plugging into your game pipelines, adopting your rituals, and writing code that's production-ready from day one so your games move faster and scale without limits.
Our hiring process starts by pre-vetting every candidate for technical skill and cultural fit. Our rigorous process ensures that only the most qualified, compatible, and high-performing candidates are presented for your consideration.
In many cases, we can match you with a single developer within a few weeks. Larger teams take longer, depending on the skill sets and number of engineers required.
Yes. You can start with one Godot developer or ramp up a dedicated team, then adjust headcount up or down as your project requirements evolve.
The cost to hire a Godot game developer varies by location, seniority, and engagement model: in the U.S., typical full-time base salaries average around $111k with the 25th–75th percentile roughly $85k–$136k, while freelance rates typically fall between $40 and $70 per hour. Rates rise with 3D development, shader programming, and platform integration expertise.
Freelance platforms can connect you with Godot developers, but you're on the hook for sourcing, vetting, and managing the work.
X-Team is different. We provide you with fully committed, pre-vetted developers who integrate into your game development pipeline, tools, and culture for the long haul.
You do, as long as payment is current. All code and assets created by X-Team developers are fully yours, protected under clean work-for-hire and IP assignment agreements.
X-Team developers adopt your repositories, boards, game engines, and rituals from day one—joining stand-ups, design reviews, and sprint planning just like any in-house teammate.
We'll resolve the issue quickly, whether through feedback or replacing the developer. Our goal is long-term cultural fit, not just quick placement.
X-Team’s model is async‑first, but we prioritize overlap with your core hours and match you with testers who can collaborate in real time where it matters.
Godot developers provided by X-Team follow your existing review and testing pipelines, use secure company-issued devices, and comply with best practices for credentials and access.
X-Team manages the full operational layer so you can scale globally without the legal or logistical friction.
No matter where your engineer calls home, you get peace of mind knowing everything’s covered — legally, securely, and by the book.
We’ll sign an MSA that covers the terms of our work together. After that, our minimum engagement for a contracted scope of work is 3 months.
