The Witcher interview - Demo, toolset, closer and further plans

Michal Kicinski, Managing Director of CD Projekt, has assessed The Witcher debut and its reception by journalists and gamers. He has also critically assessed the whole production process, speaking about things, that could be done differently. He also added a few words about further plans of the company and stressed, that The Witcher is only a beginning of CD Projekt RED's activity on a global games market.

In the interview Michal Kicinski says: "Many people ask us about our future projects. We are still too deeply involved in The Witcher. We are customizing the toolset so that it can be used by gamers and not only professionals. Of course, even after this procedure, creating your own adventures will be a difficult task, but I think that many people will accept this challenge, as the end result may be really impressive :)

We are working on demo (which we couldn't finish before the release), as well. Generally, creating a demo of an RPG is not an easy task. We want to make sure we can give new players a good demo of the game that demonstrates the combat system while offering a taste of the role-playing elements that make The Witcher more than some action-RPG."

As a dev, I can tell you that with 5, Epic made quite a leap. It perhaps may have done *too much* of a fidelity leap that most of its target hardware (Both PC and Consoles) struggles to hit 60FPS with all the new cutting edge features they added.

It may have had some issues with this generation to find a good home, but by PS6 the engine will have matured and found a good matching partner 🙏

Now that Sweet Baby is involved in this game. I’m really concerned it’s going to turn into a woke agenda poster child. I hope not but after what happened to the tv show, I won’t be holding my breath on this one.

Folks are so mf afraid to tell the sweet baby inc weirdos NO we don't want your involvement lol

Hard to say. Maybe they are welcoming them?
I know I wouldn’t hire anyone from the outside to give me advice on how to do my job but we don’t know that they feel scared and they could be positive toward them. People have different beliefs and ideals and that’s ok there is 7 billion people you are going to have ideals that run the gamut.
If it was me I’d tell them to F off because I wouldn’t want to pay people to advise what I’m doing regardless of who it is unless I sought them out myself and that could be the case here who knows.
