I don't do any game devolpment (other than hunting for reference materials for others), but I know from my own personal experience that I will put in 1000% effort, and go without sleep and meals for a hobby that I am passionate about. The pure pleasure of watching your own work (or a project you have taken some part in) near completion is all you need to keep going. My energy is endless for such a thing.

It would never be like this at a paid job, and I would never want it to.
There is other case... when hobby correponds to work. Then also maybe excellent result.... There is only one limit in this case ... funds and time ... this limit is some time very critical and stops some very good ideas or even decrease possible quality.
