The creative director of the next Assassin's Creed game, Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe, says that he will never repeat the level of crunch he experienced as the creative director of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
Speaking to Edge Magazine, Clint Hocking explains that he "took on too many tasks and too many responsibilities" as the lead developer behind the Splinter Cell sequel, which was developed in just two years. Hocking, who served as a scriptwriter and lead level designer, eventually also took on the mantle of the game's creative director. Eventually, he found himself working 80-hour weeks, which he's previously said gave him brain damage, resulting in memory loss.
