Two designers who worked on The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt, have left CD Project Red to form their own company.

Chris Hardwick and Dan Cordell have founded Wickerman Games, and says that their goal is to"make games we want to play that nobody seems to be making."

The company also said "We are both fans of pen and paper role-playing games such as Traveller, World of Darkness, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, and the venerable Dungeons & Dragons, and wish to marry our love of these games with our passion for creating video games."

One thing that Wickerman wanted to make a point of was having fans be apart of the development process. A small part for sure, but fans will have access to certain aspects.

“We will be sharing as much spoiler free content as we can during development. Allowing you access to our prototypes for larger systems, our 3D content, time lapse videos of us working - anything we can. Our idea is to give you all a front row seat into the game development process. This will all be done on a weekly basis for free.”

The duo have a lot of appreciation for their former employer, so much so that they want to capture a similar vibe with the new company.

"If we learned anything from our time at CD Projekt Red, it's that treating your customers well really just makes life better for everyone involved," they said. "After all, it is your hard-earned cash you are parting with. As the old saying goes, 'If it ain't broke don't fix it,' so we shall also be offering content DRM free (where possible) with a substantial amount of post-release support."
