CD PROJEKT RED Opens Official Blog: A Peek into Game Making
CD PROJEKT RED, famous for games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, has started an official blog. This is like a secret door into the fascinating world of game development. You can learn about their current projects and how they make games from start to finish[1].
What’s Behind the Scenes in Game Making
The blog isn’t just about sharing news; it’s a fun way to learn about game development. You can find out what’s happening at big game events, see how games are made, and get updates on new games. There’s also a special podcast called AnsweRED where people from CD PROJEKT RED and other game companies talk about making games[1][5].
The AnsweRED Podcast: Learning from Game Makers
The AnsweRED Podcast started in November 2023 and has become a great place to learn about game development. Hosts Sebastian Kalemba and Paweł Burza talk about many things, like how games are made, art, and storytelling. They’ve made over 15 episodes so far, talking about interesting topics like how they made the trailer for The Witcher 4 and how game music is made[5].
Current Projects and Talking to Fans
CD PROJEKT RED is also using the blog to talk more with their fans. For example, they showed how they make levels for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in a project called #Blocktober. This was a fun way to show how games are made and let fans see the hard work that goes into it[3].
#Blocktober: Seeing How Levels are Made
The #Blocktober project started in the summer of 2024 and showed how levels in Phantom Liberty are made. Every week, they showed how a level looks at the beginning and how it looks in the end. This was a great way for fans to see how much work goes into making a game look and feel real[3].
A New Way to Learn and Talk About Games
CD PROJEKT RED’s official blog is a big step towards showing fans how they make games and letting them talk more with the people who make them. Whether you’re a game maker or just love games, this blog is a fun place to learn and be inspired.
