Staying alive is all the victory you can hope for in The Forever Winter by Fun Dog Studios

PreMortem.Games

Video games are no stranger to the power fantasy of a lone hero who single-handedly turns the tides of war and saves the day, world, or universe. This is not the case in the upcoming four-player sci-fi tactical survival horror shooter, The Forever Winter. In this game, war is definitely hell, and all you can do about it is… well, nothing. Just trying to survive another day is all the victory you can hope for.

Triggered by a recent announcement at a studio where a friend works: in how many projects have you been asked to work mandatory 10 hour days? How about 6 day weeks? How long did those periods last?

Ask a Game Dev

Over the course of my career, I've worked crunch hours (10+ hours a day) on at least ten separate games, two of which never shipped. I worked weekends on nine of them. Some crunch periods were intermittent (crunching near the end of milestones to make the deadline) and others were ongoing due to overly ambitious schedules and constantly-moving goalposts.
