Usually people work overtime only by their wish.
I wish that were true. Maybe if your wish is "get the game done," because a lot of times, it just doesn't happen otherwise. Crunch time is still pretty much viewed as essential for the industry.
I'm not gonna lie - I had some late nights and weekends here working on SoZ. But I will admit it's cause I didn't want a feature or dialogue that I had my heart set on being awesome to go in as anything less than rad. Hell, with the constant feature triage that goes on in the industry AND with the complete craziness it takes to really endure and flourish here, maybe it IS a wish thing. I wanted dinosaur animal companions in SoZ and dammed if I wasn't going to spend whatever time it took to get them in... but then of course Jeff Husges nabbed the task and finished it in 20 minutes because he is awesome. But you get the idea.
But yeah. You blokes (and blokettes) should bug Mitsoda and ask him for tales of Troika. He's got some stories, boy howdy
