What it was like inside CD Projekt Red when The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released
The Witcher 3 is 10 years old but what was it like inside CD Projekt Red when the game was released? Well, we were there. It was like this.
The idea came from the fourth Witcher novel written by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Swallow's Tower, released in 1997 (the English translation is due in 2016), in which Ciri sees off her pursuers in a bloody bout of ice skating. A pack of CD Projekt Red staff have gravitated here independently and there's a poignant moment when they gather together with the hired models and cosplayers for a photo- a picture I can imagine hanging memorably on an office wall. They speak on a panel about why Polish game development is currently booming (The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, This War of Mine, Dying Light, Lords of the Fallen and, of course, The Witcher 3) and they join me for an on-stage Q&A about the mistakes they've made in business and the lessons they've learned.
