Worked on:

Creating an amazing art of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Agenda

1. What were our initial goals?

2. How we were organized?

3. What difficulties we encountered along the way?

4. How we dealt with those obstacles?

5. What we achieved?

*Following visual material presents unfinished elements of the game and does not represent final game quality!

Goals

1. Make the best open-world RPG we possibly can.

2. Reach the quality of 90+ review and user score.

3. Expand and build upon our artstyle and design started in Witcher 2.

4. Improve visuals (especially characters) to match best linear games.
