Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who led the development of the third "Witcher," shared his views on the industry's current mood while preparing his new project The Blood of Dawnwalker. He said today's market — oddly diverse — brings to mind the early '90s, when each release felt like its own experiment. Tomaszkiewicz admitted he watches his peers' successes and draws inspiration from works like, e.g., Crimson Desert, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Dispatch. In his view, it's a moment when indie teams can try bolder things and actually stand up to larger studios — though he framed that as an opportunity rather than a guaranteed outcome.
