Crunching. If you know Video games, or worked on video games then you know what this is about. The end process of development where the team has to do lots of overtime and late nights in order for the game to hit the deadline and to be released. It’s a well established fact that most companies do this, and Crytek (the developer of Ryse tweeted about it on their Ryse twitter page)
But it didn’t end well.
The latest from a resurgent Atari team, Lunar Lander Beyond touches down on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
While discussing the future of Warframe, Rebecca Ford said the team plans to wrap up any loose ends relevant to the current in-game events.
Raw Thrills is a company that’s made a name for itself in modern arcades. But can it do the TMNT series justice on home consoles?
Dat tweet backfire. Who was stupid enough at Crytek to post this as a fun Ryse fact.
I feel bad for the kids of these devs whose mom and dad were barely at home because months of crunch time. Its something that should change in the industry.
Crunch time is the bane of the AAA games industry, it burns developers out & has the best talent leave the industry to do something else. This is a major reason for the growth of indie developers.
Wow people seem surprised by this. All you have to do is not be a noob and go no further then team bondi on la noir. That is true developmental hell.
Um, why are they talking about "crunch" as if it were a badge of honor? it's poor business practice, any other industry and they would be ashamed to be calling out crunch time, not sure who decided to tweet this but it wasn't smart
Well most n4g kids don't have jobs. When you work out in the real world you have deadlines and things you have to get done. It's called work that's why they pay you.
