No problem with Jason Slama in developing the new Witcher.
Jason Slama, who was involved in the development of The Witcher 3 and standalone Gwent during its debut with CD Projekt RED, has taken on responsibility for developing and monitoring the free-to-play collectible card game. He inherits this position again for a new project from a Polish publisher based on the famous medieval fantasy universe created by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski: “I am very pleased to announce that I am working modestly to ensure the success of the next big AAA game in the universe. The Witcher as Game Director! Think you can join the team? We have a lot of open vacancies with the possibility of remote work that we could discuss! ”
No crunch with Jason Slama at the helm of the new Witcher
Jason Slama’s speech – and probably the early announcement of a new The Witcher – was basically a recruitment tool, a fan came to tickle him, remembering the studio’s poor crunch results in the past. He retorted, “Never under my supervision “, promising better terms to those who are hired and work with him. It’s no surprise that CD Projekt RED is looking to repair its reputation, tarnished by reports of Cyberpunk 2077’s mandatory crunch, especially after the company initially promised it wouldn’t ask its employees to crunch on an expansive open-world game.
Since the Cyberpunk 2077 crisis reports, CD Projekt RED has made an effort to change its work culture to “minimize stress, prevent burnout, and give our employees everything they need to focus on their work.”
