Cloud Imperium Games, the developer of Star Citizen, is getting ready for Citizencon on October 19, and the preparations are more hardcore than you might expect. Developers can forget about resting on the weekends in the following weeks, but they’ll get food and extra free days in the future as compensation.
The company required its employees to “double down over the next 18 days to make sure that once again we create an amazing experience for our community.” This means they’ll have to work 7 days a week until the event. Cloud Imperium Games will provide breakfast and lunch every working weekend for those in the office (where the workers are “encouraged” to be) and TOIL (time off in lieu), “which can be stored and used for time off at a later date” (via Insider Gaming.)
