Towards the end of this week saw the tell tail signs that yet another impending milestone was looming. All hands were grinding to the bone, with the obvious signs of added pressure erupting and disturbing the quietness of continual work. While all of the team are now working hard and some others now doing additional hours in their own time, it is really important to look after the team and keep the cohesion of workflow while under the duress of pressure.
On Friday afternoon we had the opportunity of a vacated piano waiting in the halls, which managed to find its way into the studio. Then we had the pleasure of listening to some piano music by some of the team. While it may not have been productive to the game at the time, it certainly gave some welcomed relief and some laughter and reduced the tension in the air. I am always surprised when I find out more about someone, which just enforces my opinion of people that there is so much more than meets the eye.  It helped raise the team spirit and therefore makes a much more productive work environment in the long run. I have been really impressed with how the team have responded and I am a firm believer of telling them so. Many of the team went in on Saturday; I also went to catch up on my work and emails and to support the team. Afterwards I arranged a BBQ at my house, where some of the team got a chance to unwind away from the stress of the Studio. The more I work with these guys, the more I enjoy their individual ways. While we may be looking forward to the final deadline, I certainly am not looking forward to the end of working with them nearly every day.
