I Made a Game Illegally

Whether you’re a hobbyist in a game jam or an employee at a triple-A studio, game development is notorious for “crunch culture”: incredibly long hours that push you beyond exhaustion. But, with proper planning, can you make a game without crunching? In this video, I make a game in one week, working for just 2 hours/day, to answer the question: "Can you make a game with no crunch?"
