Feel free to do your sucking up to Akari here. :D Edit: sorry for the miss spelling in the poll. Another great idea by the people who brought you beer milkshakes!

Guest Fallen Jedi Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I think we should let Akari have a rest and let some other Dev steal the spotlight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sun_Tzu Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hmmmm. Is no1 gonna suck up to Akari? It's a dirty job but some1s gotta do it.

Astatine Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I think a scary boss person had Words with Akari and told him not to do it again lest he have one coffee to many and let slip some plot material in between the gibbering Own up Fergie :D *g* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could crack out a game without working weekends, but not at the level we expect the game to be at. I think working weekends is part of a project based job. When the deadline comes up, you work more to get the work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be a 9-5 job that leaves you with time for a social life, etc etc, in theory. (Like that the working rhythm is sustainable in the long run). If you have to do overtime, the management and reporting system has messed up. That said I get the impression that overtime like this is a lot more common in games development houses. Perhaps it's because they're making something rather more cool than the boring business software code-monkeys such as myself all too often find ourselves saddled with and therefore they really want to spend the extra time making it better?

Carth Vader Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Speaking of "working weekends" when does Akari get to the office on sundays anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 It's not even 9am in California yet. But its close on 17:30 in England. Akari should show up around 18:30 GMT (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While normal working hours might make a passable title, many of us here want better than that. We're doing what we can. Many of my weekend shifts have been of my own volition. If it was any other job I'd probably never be saying that. -Akari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
