call me a Call of Duty mini map cuz I'm putting something on your radar right now there is a Polish game developer who is going WBO freaky mode apologies in advance for my terrible pronunciation of these names I'm a tiny reptile brain idiot that can't quite get these accurate but anyway the head of spectrum Studios his name is jessic pirowski apparently had mandatory sauna sessions where his narrative girls as he called them which is really cringy Discord level [ __ ] like his little kittens he required them to go to saunas with him naked in order to write their scripts obviously a very weird thing to do that's extremely creepy [ __ ] to require your employees to accompany you nude to a sauna that's less than professional I'd argue but I'm not the Better Business Bureau I have to wonder can you do that like can you have in your contract like hey if you're going to be an employee here I need to be seeing some titties sign here every Tuesday is titty day so if if you're not going to be showing me The Honkers on Tuesday you can hit the road bub scram I'm that that's the one stipulation that just sounds super [ __ ] up but apparently that was the norm here at Spectrum Studios so this whole situation got kind of blown up over the last few days and I talked about it a little bit on stream but couldn't find additional information on it only like the very surface level stuff that came out through Linkedin so I'm going to show you the stream clips and then dive back in here with a more indepth finding ings about this whole thing you seen the wild Polish Game Dev drama the creative director for spectrum Studios is requiring requiring employees to attend mandatory naked sauna sessions yeah I actually made a tweet about that earlier I'd never heard of spectrum Studios but now I'm very curious what they make cuz this is some weird [ __ ] it was on LinkedIn so here's the the requirements so just like normal stuff like providing art Bible assets feedback this is kind of cringe mentoring of padwan yikes tip Fedora epic knowledge of Unreal Engine five okay I don't remember that one either that's that's yeah it's just very embarrassing but then this one attending sauna sessions not negotiable entire team need to understand product and it's naked sauna sessions so on LinkedIn got into an argument here with this this uh potential employee or yeah potential employee we've already exchanged a few messages in the comments here on LinkedIn and for what you said you consider naked sauna sessions a part of work responsibilities in your studio I told you that's a deal breaker for me and we've called it a day thanks for your offer though and then he goes ah sure didn't recall your name is that with the team or privately no no no it's the whole team the whole [ __ ] football team honestly had a lot of time to prove me wrong to write a scene in a sauna without being in sauna and send it to Magda instead we're wasting time on social media my narrative girls had to go to a sauna with me came up with an amazing script for proof of concept technically it's possible to do it without but I absolutely adore the fact that they could use their sa experience to write awesome scenes that guy needs to be investigated ASAP I bet there's cameras in that sauna at the very least that guy's got his phone [ __ ] perched up somewhere so it sounds like he had his female employees go with him to the sauna and it was a they were nude in order to write a sauna scene which is like that's something that you see in movies and whatever not like that but like going to a location to write about it like I get that but it's super different here obviously like he's not even trying to hide it this man's just nefarious he's a [ __ ] pervert man's a criminal is it even a real company I looked him up and I can't find any of the games they've worked on so maybe this is their first game and it's a [ __ ] sauna simulator I don't know now believe it or not the man the myth the jelking champion himself jessic stepped forward and actually created a video explaining his side of the situation on LinkedIn it's in Polish so I don't exactly know what he's saying so I'm going to be relying on articles that have broken it down for me but I will like I would like to say that this is some of the worst framing I've ever seen for a video he occupies like 5% of the screen like the camera is pointed almost straight up and he's coming in at the very bottom like [ __ ] skibbidy toilet here I don't know why he wouldn't just put himself in the center now the best breakdown of all of this comes from a website called gamepressure.com this is the best one I found and according to them porowski our protagonist gooner here has claimed that although visits to the sauna were indeed obligatory there was neither a requirement to be naked in the sauna nor to be in it with the boss but as mentioned in the article it seems that nudity is unavoidable considering it's a [ __ ] sauna and that's kind of the norm when going to saunas I suppose I mean you could probably take one look at me and probably speculate and accurately guess that I'm not a sa Enthusiast I don't frequent the sauna I live in Florida going outside I get that exact same [ __ ] experience so I'm just going to take their word that nudity is pretty common in saunas and when I was going over this on stream that's what stream was saying as well so even though he's not requiring a goatsy or like a nipple inspection or something to ensure all the employees are naked in the sauna it is still implied by going to the sauna at least that's my understanding of it now the statement about it's also not required to be in it with your B I suppose he's also kind of right on but you still accompany your narrative girls to the sauna like that is clear like that is actually stated so even if it's not put like pin to paper that it's a requirement to be in it with the boss you have still been going like you have still gone so that's kind of a moot point if you ask me the article continued to explain what the project even is that requires the sauna experience in order to be the [ __ ] pre prent expert on it so it's called project Temple a game about a young woman with a broken heart who starts trying to become a sauna Master that's such a [ __ ] weird concept for a game like how do you even make something interesting out of that like striving to be a sauna Master like this isn't [ __ ] Pokemon you're not going to be like collecting gym badges like a Pokemon Master to me that sounds like a [ __ ] snoozefest I'm just going to be upfront with you here sports fans like I can't even imagine what the gameplay Loop would be like choosing the right rocks to put on the sauna stove choosing the correct aromatic oils to fill the atmosphere with like what do you even do with that I imagine it's going to be only story like maybe it's a visual novel perhaps I I don't know if I'm being totally honest here if I had to spitball a guess I really feel like this whole thing from the very start was designed as some kind of evil plot from jassic to force women to go to a sauna with him that's really what I think I I feel like that's the whole purpose behind this project in his eyes anyway going forward we require going to the sauna as part of getting to know the environment and research we also hold company meetings during sauna trips that sounds like a nightmare that sounds [ __ ] miserable mandatory sauna trips with your boss and co-workers like come on like Jesus Christ however there's no obligation to be naked in the sauna or to be in it with the boss if someone prefers to only attend women only sessions or use the sauna individually and come to meeting just the chat that's also fine as the rules of proper sauna you say in a dry sauna with a towel or naked in a steam sauna only naked there is 90% humidity there you can't cheat physics at the company meeting the girls were doing peeling themselves I don't care I wanted them to understand what kind of emotions we create original brief the protagonist of project Temple is birdie a woman in her 2030s she had her heartbroken recently and she is moving to Warsaw to find herself again what a pretentious explanation for this absolutely ridiculous requirement of your employees the emotions that you create in the sauna you need the firsthand experience to write about them huh the only emotion that's being created there is the [ __ ] boss jassic here getting cumbrain like that's it like giggling to himself while doing this with his hands finally I get to see naked women in person and they can't say no cuz I put it in the contract it just sounds so degenerate and and weird the article makes a mention there at the end like so this is the explanation for why they have to go to the sauna because they need the experience to write about it and the article says one might wonder if a developer creating a military shooter should expect their employees to like enlist in the Army in order to get the experience of it and the answer is a resounding of course not [ __ ] no like you don't need to be going to like frequent sauna sessions with your co-workers in order to write about a sauna everyone knows what you're going to experience in there hot sweaty and now you can write about everything outside of that and all the emotional bits like you don't need to actually be there physically in person in the sauna with your creepy boss didin his skin flute in the corner while you're writing about the sauna Master game there's also an allegation that came out here I hadn't heard of till reading this article where apparently there is another Scandal here involving the head of spectrum Studios where he's been accused of deliberately looking for people in a quote difficult situation because it might be more likely to wave red flags and another individual named Natalia wilena I'm sure I absolutely ate [ __ ] on that pronunciation also claimed that jassic was lurking in artist groups on Facebook asking for samples of work with naked figures and even posted some of the screenshots onto Twitter another really weird component about this is that Magda name that he dropped in one of the screenshots is someone named Magdalena kenti I know I butchered that pronunciation again I'm sorry and apparently candidates were instructed to contact them regarding the recruitment task but Magdalena doesn't work at the studio at all so it turns out jassic was one of her students in a narrative design course and it was during the classes that Magdalena gave him advice on the project and furthermore I'll just read directly jasic directed interested individuals to her even though she not yet rep replied to his request on the man on the manner since she apparently doesn't use social media and now she has come forward about all of this saying like what the [ __ ] she goes on to explain that jassic was just using her last name without her permission without her being like an employee of his or anything like that she's another person who's been harmed in this matter this whole thing is so [ __ ] weird jassic sounds like an extremely creepy individual and I don't know how this kind of requirement to work there isn't like an illegal practice to say that your employees have to go to these sauna sessions but yeah I just I just had to talk about this a little bit it's so [ __ ] weird that's really about it see yeah
