I can't even think straight right now

It has been a while since I posted anything. That is because I got pulled into working on another game. As some of you may know, my game is about 2 years from being done. However, in this industry deadlines and such can move around due to things that are beyond your control and beyond the control of your superiors as well.

Well, what happened is that my game is still on track but 2 of the other games that Rainbow is working got their schedules switched around. One team got a reprieve and got their game pushed back by over 6 months and they weren't even behind. The other team got their deadline pushed ahead by about 2 months and they are behind. So, a lot of extra people are having to help out to get the whole thing done.

I am one of those people. I am working about 17 hours days but I am doing so with about 50 other people. I get up at 9:00am and go into work and then I get home at about 2:30am. I catch a few hours sleep and then we do the whole thing all over again.

The interesting thing though is that no matter what is due the following day, the group think at Rainbow is that you never pull an all nighter. Everybody will run around worried about what is due the following day and then around 2:00am, everyone will leave regardless of what got done. Which I do think is smart. They realize that they will be working 17 hour days for awhile and pulling an all-nighter will just ruin you for the next day and you won't get anything accomplished tomorrow.
