It's a pretty swell day time job to have as a fledging musician  |
Show off
When I was going to school to learn to program games and what not, i heard a lot of horror stories about the hours a lot of developers have to work. Correct me if im wrong, b/c i am no expert, just going on what i heard/read, but games are usually on tight deadlines so being only 5 developers on your team, your hours must be extremely long. I remember reading an article by a 'wife' of a developer that worked at EA that worked 7 days week and 12 hour days almost all year around. What are the hours like for your job?
