15% less work – post 269
Got the word yesterday that the studio is cutting the amount of work hours by 15%. Why? Because it looks like we’re going to lose another project. Publishers aren’t paying the studio for the work we’re doing. Why aren’t they paying? Because they’re not getting any money from the distributors for the games they’re publishing because of the crap-tastic economy.
Joy…
So yeah, next month my pay will be 15% less then normal. I’ve already made contacts with people that I know in close by studios. Maybe get a tip on what they’re looking for in a folio that will help get me in the door.
Man am I depressed.
Best guess is that the studio will live until February and then it’ll be done.
I hope I’m wrong.
