Welcome to the World of Game Making!
CD PROJEKT RED, the company that brought us amazing games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, has started an official blog. This blog is like a secret door into the magical world of game creation. It’s a place where you can learn how games are made, from the very first idea to the final product you play.
What’s Inside?
The blog is filled with cool stuff. You can find out what’s happening behind the scenes, get tips from experts, and even listen to a podcast called AnsweRED. This podcast talks about all sorts of things related to game making, like how to create art and tell stories in games.
Meet the AnsweRED Podcast
The AnsweRED podcast started in November 2023. It’s hosted by Sebastian Kalemba and Paweł Burza. They chat about game production, programming, art, and more. In just a short time, they’ve covered lots of interesting topics, like how they made the trailer for The Witcher 4 and the art of game audio.
See What We’re Working On
CD PROJEKT RED also uses the blog to talk to its fans. For example, they showed us how they make levels for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty during a project called #Blocktober. This was like a behind-the-scenes tour of their level design process.
#Blocktober: Level Design in Action
During #Blocktober, we got to see how levels are made, step by step. We saw the early versions of levels and how they changed over time. It was like watching a sculptor shape a statue, but with video games!
A New Way to Connect
CD PROJEKT RED’s blog is like a bridge between the game developers and the people who love their games. It’s a place where we can learn, be inspired, and feel more connected to the games we play. As CD PROJEKT RED keeps making new games, their blog will keep giving us cool stuff to see and learn.
