Our QA & Localization team members traveled to Amsterdam to attend the Game Quality Forum Global 2024! REDs took part in workshops and panel discussions, gaining insights from across the industry. 💬 I was honored to participate in two panels as a speaker and talk about how we in CD PROJEKT RED approach localization and its challenges. Can’t wait to attend GQF next year! — Alexander Radkevich,  Expert Localization Project Manager 💬 GQF is a great place to meet people from the game localization industry and see what problems they face and how they solve them.

Our team came back from Prague with new connections, knowledge, and, most importantly, excellent impressions from Unreal Fest! 💬 “I had a really great time discussing and sharing our experience with the transition to Unreal Engine with people across different industries, from architecture and movies to game dev. It was my pleasure to share some of the lessons we learned while building our technology on top of the engine, but the coolest thing about our collaboration with Epic is that, so far, much of what we’ve done will be available to many other developers. Changes around performance, RenderThread, and Decoupling were well-received by the team at Epic, and are likely to improve the experience of many others in the near future. We showed that we are actively shaping Unreal Engine, and our partnership is one that creates mutual benefits — not to mention, we are advocating for bigger and better games with Unreal,” said our Senior Engineer, Core, Jarosław Tomasz Rudzki. See you next year, Unreal Fest! #insideRED #RED #CDPR
