Some tidbits that were cut from the piece: - Veteran devs from other companies were shocked at CDPR's free-for-all production. One example: if someone needed a shader, they'd make it, with no pipeline in place to determine whether someone had already made one w/ the same function
- One CDPR developer told their manager that they didn't want to work overtime, as their CEO had said would be OK. Fine, their manager said, but one of their other coworkers would just have to work extra hours to make up for them. Several other developers shared similar stories
- Last year, when CDPR explained that it shares 10% of profits with staff, gamers and pundits assumed the devs would get rich. Adrian Jakubiak said he made around $400/month when he started as a tester in 2015. In 2018, as a junior programmer, he said he was making ~$700/month
- If you're wondering just how much Cyberpunk 2077 changed over the past decade: well, up until 2016, it was a third-person game. Features that were originally envisioned (wall-running, flying cars, car ambushes) were cut along the way (not atypical in game development)
- And if you're wondering why the police system in Cyberpunk 2077 is so janky: well, it was all done at the last minute. As is evident by the final product, it was unclear to some of the team why they were trying to make both an RPG and a GTA with a fraction of Rockstar's staff
In conclusion: Cyberpunk was announced eight years ago, but development didn't really start until 2016. In 2018, they had little but a (mostly) fake demo. Most of the staff knew and openly said it wouldn't be ready for release in 2020. But management believed in CD Projekt Magic
I deleted a tweet from this thread because I worded it poorly last night. Clearer version: CD Projekt mandates English be spoken in any work meetings with non-Polish speakers. Some said colleagues violated that rule during meetings and reviews, which made them feel uncomfortable
Ha! I know that buzz. “If you can’t do it that’s no problem, we’ll have to just spread it across the rest of the team.” My wife tried to get through and tell me how crazy that was when I was on a big crunchy project, but it’s a surprisingly effective manipulation.
Using collective punishment to keep the workers in line, a classic jape.
Is overtime a crime in most countries? I've done it my entire life
I’m not in HR but I think some senses yes; for example max hours per week; min hours between shifts and so on. Usually this can be waived if there’s agreement between both parties and premiums are paid but forced unpaid overtime is not on.
