Platinum Games designer Hideki Kamiya has revealed that he lived in his office for four months during the development of The Wonderful 101.
Responding to fan questions on Twitter, Kamiya admitted he slept in the studio’s meeting room while work continued on the Wii U exclusive title, presumably (though Kamiya does not confirm this) as a result of crunch on the project.
Here’s what the designer had to say via Twitter:
I was like living at office for 4 months when TW101.
