Larian Studios’ Swen Vincke has opened up about crunch culture at the studio, acknowledging that the team did, at times, «have to do a bit of crunch» when «things happened that [the studio] didn’t foresee».
In the Q&A Vincke hosted after his address at the Digital Dragons conference in Poland, Vincke was asked if the team ever had to crunch – that is, the term given to the extreme overtime studios compel staff to do to get a game ready for its release date – and whilst Vincke said the team wasn’t «overly» required to crunch, and it was «certainly less on BG3 than we did in the past», «It would be a lie to say that we didn’t» crunch at all.
