In PressA2Join's latest edition of Developer Focus, we have been talking to the Poland-based studio, Techland, creators of fantastic games such as 2015’s Dying Light, Dead Island and the popular Call of Juarez series. Founded in 1991 by Paweł Marchewka, Techland recently announced that the company will now officially publish games on a global scale under the name Techland Publishing, further cementing the studio’s growth and progression since the early days of Crime Cities in 2000.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
Everybody should read this interview!
It's really good to see how Techland feels about gamers, gaming, and having fun doing what they love to do. Glad to know Techland has their hearts in th right places to grow the company into something more like Rockstar, putting quality and post launch support first.
