In Masahiro Sakurai’s latest column for Famitsu, he opens up about what its been like working from home. His team continues to toil away on DLC for Smash Bros. Ultimate while in self quarantine, but it seems like things are going well.
– Sakurai says working from home has been going, and staff should be commended for their hard work
– some staff usually commute two hours one way to work, so working at home has been a lot more effective
– there are temptations to play games or sleep while working from home, but Sakurai says he can still focus on the task at hand
– Sakurai says he responds to emails up until midnight, but he’s eating more regularly now, and has a better sense of time
– Sakurai says he oversees almost everything in Smash Bros. Ultimate, so new work is always coming in
– some situations require a lot of work to explain to the team, which is easier done in person than email
– video calls can help bridge the gap in these situations, but scheduling a time to work with everyone is challenging
– Sakurai bought a microphone and capture unit for working from home, and also built a studio to play and assist in development
– the team continues to figure out what works best for remote work
– work is proceeding without any problems so far
Sakurai der wahnsinnige…
Das einige täglich vier Stunden pendeln, Hin- und Rückfahrt… respekt. Ich würde das nicht aushalten und eher näher zur Arbeit hinziehen, wenn möglich.
