Kotaku UK: Inside The Troubled Development Of Star Citizen

The art teams started to feel the strain. “These guys were working really hard to achieve a goal that was basically unattainable,” elaborates a source. “If you ask people to keep working 60-, 70-, 80-hour weeks without an end date in sight, it's going to put a strain on their personal relationships and personal lives. That in turn is going to start increasing turnover.”

The UK character team, made up of a lead and two junior artists, ended up handing in their notice over three months, between March and June 2015. “They were all miserable,” another source told me.

“Honestly, I don't know anyone working that [number of hours] here,” said Chris Roberts in response. “I don't want crunch as a culture, we don't do it. [...] We rarely do any kind of crunch to overtime. It's mostly if we're going to Gamescom. Even then you could walk around and there would only be specific people that would be staying around if they had something to fix.” When I asked Roberts and art director Paul Jones about the art team’s departure, they gave other reasons for the resignations – ones more to do with personality conflicts than working hours.


I love how Chris goes from 'I don't want crunch as a culture' to 'we don't crunch'. If he wants something then that the way it is, gently caress reality and gently caress anybody who tells him different

Hot take: Nazis, nazi apologists, wehraboos, and basically anyone who thinks Nazis were even slightly okay can gently caress right off :toot:

"Yeah well your country has done lovely stuff too" does not, in any way shape or form, change the fact that Nazis are Nazis and in an ideal world there is no place for them or anyone who sympathizes with them. Namaste.

Heh, those people at Ninja Theory clearly don't know anything about how to make a AAAA game, that's why they just made the first self published AAA game. AAAA requires the most expensive mocap'ing you can get for fidelity.
