I'm working remote from Spain on US time.
Yes I start my day at 5 pm. Yes I get to bed at 1 am. But I have an entire day before work for cleaning the house, buy groceries, ...
Last time I did voice direction I was in Seattle, our audio engineer was in SoCal, and our actress was in Hong Kong. It was super late for us and super early for her. It was monsoon season there too so we kept having to pause for thunder rolls. WE MADE IT WORK AND SHE SLAYED IT AS LEONA.
I've done voice direction for an actor in France while I was in the United States, and the audio guy was Swedish. Did I have to get up early?

Yeah. But I didn't have to leave my house.

Great website, come take a look!
However, I have a couple of comment on the Psychology part:
Dark Pattern Games catalogues game design. "dark patterns" that reward the game developer at the expense of the Player.

Includes assessed 'Healthy' games that are rated by absence of "dark patterns" (e.g. Townscaper)

Site by /u/offsky (Reddit)

Worth a look:

Less buttons, more depth
#gamedesign

A great exercise for game designers is to make a single button engaging.

Start with a single button on screen and focus on the experience of pressing the button.

Try:
- Playing sfx, vfx, haptics.
- launching a object
- taps/hold & release/ timing/one time press

If you need to remember one phrase from this great article, it's:
"You will someday make your big grand masterpiece, you just can’t do it right away."
Another inspiring article by Zukalous - this time talking sense about the logic behind starting small and the reality warping effect indie game hits create for the rest of us indie devs.

The latest Unity news is a good news to developers that have an ongoing project in Unity. However, you really should consider other engines if you are starting from scratch
