StaceyPowers Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Do you think you could survive working crunch time at a game studio? How long do you think you could stand it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyorAlice Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Probably not. I'm not really into doing a job that is stressful. They'd have to offer me a pretty hefty salary to get me to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I've done intense overtime before on more physically demanding and hazardous roles than working in from t of a computer. So yeah, I could handle it, but that doesn't mean people being effectively forced to do so is any way right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to be doing your job but it's another thing to have to take up a bunch of that person's time to the point they don't get to see their family or don't get any down time.

Lens Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I have no problem with this because I'm a gamer. I'm very used to marathon gaming sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because having a long gaming session is the same thing as being forced to work long hours to the point of being physically and mentally damaging because a game publisher failed to schedule and estimate development time correctly. Seriously, do you even know what it is you're saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, do you even know what it is you're saying? I know that It's unacceptable for developers to be overworked and neglected by their employers, but I can work for longer sessions.

Scorpion Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I don’t think I could handle crunch time at a game studio for long. Stressful hours would wear me out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpvr Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Yes, I could survive working under a time frame especially crunch time. I actually have experience working on games. I’ve worked on three different browser based games in the past, so it wouldn’t be too tough for me in a role in like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
