Just out of curiosity, how often does Lionhead have "crunch" days where everyone working on a game stays late?

- Also, how late do those days last?

I'd imagine probably an hour or two above normal. However, I raither like the image of everyone bringing in a sleeping bag and not getting released form the building until everything is completely done, thing I am not in charge

We are 'encouraged' to work late on Tuesday and Thursday, and anyone with a priority 1 bug has to resolve that issue that day (if possible).

A few people work late every night, and a handful at the weekend. We are really left to govern our own time.  If you have bugs, try clear some. If not, help someone (although I am unsure if that goes on).

My own day usually starts between 7 and 8am, and often finishes between 10 and 11pm. I am only telling you that because the big bosses might read it and I will get some sweeties.

thank god we dont live in the fable world, it would be hard to hide how i am

Same here...crunch means I'm working pretty much from 10:30-23:30 every day. It's not that bad, because I go to the group fitness in the park during lunch hour, have take away dinner in the evening and that breaks the day up a bit... Plus I can go outside and sit in the park for a bit if I need to clear my head. You can watch most of us working late on the webcams BTW....

I'm editing like mad. But this weekend I've taken off and am going to visit a friend in Paris.

Sounds interesting..

Reading several threads it really sounds like you guys put a lot of love and energy into your work.

Going a bit OT I would like to ask if you have a lot of non-work related activitties like that one you showed in one of the diaries (the one with the costumes)

Just because you seem to put so many extra hours on a regular basis.

 

PS: sorry for the necro-post

I'm more of a morning person, I try to get in before 8:30am if I can (free bacon sandwiches if you do, quite the incentive), but I usually leave around 9pm.

I'm not keen on working Saturdays, and I don't work late on Friday's, but I do every other Sunday.

I think I'd get there early, too, if they had bacon sandwiches. Although a nice cup of coffee with a donut would be fine.
Nice to meet you Glen Watts.
