Crunch happens throughout a development process to keep us on pace. Any timeline has milestones. Each milestone is heralded by some extra hours.

All of this has happened before. And it will all happen again. And again.
Well, that's not true. Not all timelines have milestones, and honestly if you're crunching to try and keep to a schedule, it's a sign the schedule was poorly designed. The producer responsible for the crunch should be put afore a wall and shot.

That is also not true. Crunching could be making up for something gone wrong as well. A schedule that was made totally doable can't account for entirely left field things. Producers make a schedule with the information they have and hope for a bit of luck to follow through. A multitude of things could have happened, from an engine crash, to a critical bug, to a new feature that was introduced late and they wanted to include it for the next milestone update with the publisher.

It's easy to blame the producer but cut him/her some slack, things happen.

Destinypedia - The Wiki for Bungie's Destiny

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Thought this thread would be about the lack of basic personal hygiene amongst the Bungie employees and the sounds they make as they walk around the office.

Left disappointed.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

They said we wouldn't see anything of DESTINY until 2013, true, but they haven't said that's the only thing they're working on.

For real? That makes me sad.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I wonder if they have to have something finished in time for Bungie Day ...

I don't like to put words in people's mouths, but I think what Deej is trying to tell us is that whatever they're crunching on is unrelated to whatever they have planned for Bungie Day.


It's completely and totally unrelated.


But it's related whatever you are working on, right?

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I'm gonna assume 'crunch' in this context indicates slang for some depraved carnal act. Bungie crunches. Gross.

As already confirmed today by DeeJ, they new project is called Particle.

A quick search of the words "Particle" and "Crunch" yields the following web site.

We should chase this down.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

They're crunching on all those glorious snacks in the breakroom.


Thid mskes the most sense out of any of the possibilities given so far.

Do all people at Bungie have "crunch time" deadlines, or are there some people who cruise out and say "smell ya later"?

  • 06.21.2012 6:53 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

Well... they're making progress.

Maybe they finally got a good chunk of the game up and running. Internal alpha maybe?

the only problem i have with mine is that it's unstable,[very shakey],so you'd need a tripod for it.

Just drink a beer and everything will be ok

I assume the crunch is a strange type of dance that all Bungie employees are forced to learn under the guise of "team building".

Really? Not even a freaking hint on 7/7/12?

Well this sucks.

I hope we get crounched too on Bungie day! We should be able to see Urk and DeeJ to get crounched! wink, wink.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.
