What brings REDs together? Games! Both at work, and beyond. 🎮 Game development is a passion, so it’s no surprise you can find REDs engaging in it even outside of the office. A group of our devs recently met at Pixel Heaven Festival, and one them shared what drove him to attend: 💬 “This year marked my fifth time attending Pixel Heaven Festival, an event that brings together people who share a passion for classic retro games. One of the main reasons I keep coming back is the opportunity to meet more enthusiasts like myself who have a deep love for old-school games and can talk all about common interests like this one, even after a day of work in game dev. The spirit of the event is truly unique and unlike anything else I've experienced,” said our Level Designer Bartlomiej Pyrko. #insideRED #RED #CDPR #gamedev
