The Witcher 3 began in the summer of 2011 when lead quest designer Konrad Tomaszkiewicz was called in to see the head of the studio, Adam Badowski. 'OK, we will do The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk,' he was told, in a very matter of fact way. 'And I want you to be game director of The Witcher 3. You will get total freedom to do the game you want to play. And I hope it will be a good game.' That's how Tomaszkiewicz remembers it.

Witcher 3 Won T Launch

Just like that, he was director of CD Projekt's big new game. 'I was like 'oh my god I did the quests and now I need to lead the full project!'

' The wraith with the tongue at the entrance.The goal for The Witcher series was always to take it to an open world, but it couldn't be done in the first game back in 2007 because BioWare's Aurora engine couldn't handle it, and it couldn't be done for the sequel in 2011 because the in-house RedEngine was still too fresh to take the strain. But with The Witcher 3 it was a possibility, and there were exciting new consoles on the horizon to help make it happen. Not everyone was up for the challenge; multiplatform development for consoles not even fully visible yet? An open world? Can't we all just relax a bit?'

They had just finished crunch mode and they were very tired,' Adam Badowski remembers. 'They wanted to change the atmosphere in the studio and make it less difficult. They tried to push us to have a similar game to The Witcher 2, without taking a huge risk. They knew that it would be super ambitious.' 'In the beginning everyone was really scared,' Konrad Tomaszkiewicz adds.

'We didn't have any experience with open worlds, we didn't have experience on the PS4 and Xbox One; in that time there wasn't the dev kits yet on the market - it was a year after we started work on the game. And people were really shocked that we wanted to do so much.' It wasn't as if the first two games had been a doddle. The Witcher was a messy bowl of spaghetti because the studio had never shipped a game before, while the second was a fight for life after the failed console project Rise of the White Wolf nearly brought the company to its knees. Once upon a time the plan was to begin The Witcher 3 at the same time as The Witcher 2, in 2008, but Rise of the White Wolf ruined all that. So I can understand people's trepidation about the grand goals for The Witcher 3. 'I had to convince people,' Badowski says.

'I had to fight for these things.' 'But with every month they believed more in the game,' Tomaszkiewicz adds, 'and when the game was in the shape you could play, everyone believed.' In February 2013,.

There were so many ideas early on for The Witcher 3 that it very nearly became two games.The story's core was nailed early on, and had the goal of bringing Yennefer and Ciri in where they had been excluded before. And it was to be more personal and less political, the lead writer Marcin Blacha tells me. 'We wanted to make a game about a disabled family,' he says in his low, ponderous voice.

'There is Geralt and Yennefer and Ciri, and they're not like usual people, but they love each other. It's difficult love, but they do. We wanted to make an epic story about a family.'

Lead character artist Pawel Mielniczuk shares much unseen concept art with me, but this alternative version of Ciri is my favourite.But around that were wrapped so many layers that things soon got out of hand. For instance, there were once more islands in Skellige, including one called the Isle of Trials, where you'd be imprisoned by none other than Yennefer. Blacha explains: 'There was this moment when they had different goals and Yennefer made a trap for Geralt - I don't remember exactly what, it was something connected to Ciri - to imprison him for some time. She made Geralt a prisoner on that island, and Geralt had to escape from this island.' Either you could escape by taking the eponymous trials of the island, or you could face off against a monster called Nidhogg (a name borrowed from Norse mythology, suggesting the monster was a gigantic snake of a beast).A more ambitious idea still, and one that got fairly far down the road, was Geralt joining the game's titular Wild Hunt - the villainous force. 'It's a very complicated story,' Blacha begins, 'but Geralt was an insider.

He was joining the Wild Hunt because he was looking for something, he needed to find Ciri. We had this part where he was sailing on this Naglfar, this ship made of human nails, and he had some adventures on some islands and it was full of conspiracy. We even had dialogue trees written, and these dialogue trees were sensitive to what players say to Wild Hunters. Every time you gave a bad answer for a question, or when something was breaking your cover, the conspiracy ended.'

Lead quest designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, Konrad's brother, expands: 'You were supposed to disguise yourself as one of the Wild Hunt riders and spend some time with them. It was basically some illusion or spell that made you look like one of them and speak like one of them.' It couldn't all possibly fit in one game. 'There were too many characters,' Adam Badowski says, 'there were too many different super-complicated story plots like those elves, The Wild Hunt. For a while we thought The Witcher 3 would be that big we have to split it into two parts, so the series won't be a trilogy - and the plan had always been to do a trilogy. We were very close. But I wanted to have a trilogy.

A trilogy is cool, a trilogy looks good! It doesn't look like another. Assassin's Creed game. It was our initial concept - and we need to be in line with our previous decisions.' The make or break point for ideas came roughly half-way through The Witcher 3's development. The team sat and looked at all it had and what it could realistically do to a high standard. 'If you want to release a game, you cut,' Konrad Tomaszkiewicz says.

And these are the features he cut.When there was talk of a slow-motion targeting system a bit like VATS in Fallout 3. The example back then was whacking a vampire's poison gland to disable its poison attack, or trying to skewer both its hearts at once to kill it outright.As Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz now explains: 'We wanted to do this thing with vital points on monsters that basically you get into this slow-mo mode, or even paused-game mode, and you could choose which vital spots you want to hit. We had some prototypes of this but it was extremely complicated. I think it was called Witcher Sense during combat - I don't remember exactly.

It was pretty crazy.' It was crazy because I remember that a lot of assets were already started in production. When you started this mode you got this x-ray view. If you were looking at me right now you would see my skull, my insides, and you could decide.' Dangerous place to leave it hanging.

'It was crazy ambitious,' he goes on, 'but it was a technical nightmare.' There were other mini-games before the card game Gwent eclipsed most of them, including dagger or axe throwing, and a drinking game. 'We had this idea to do dagger-throwing in the game,' he says. 'It was supposed to be on Skellige. I don't remember exactly - was it daggers or axes?

But it was supposed to be one of the mini-games in the game.' Also we were planning this drinking game - we even had the prototype for it. I think we even had it for the game reveal we were doing. It was this mini-game where you sat down with another character and you had the meter of how intoxicated you are, and the first one that dropped during the drinking game loses. So you had to choose alcohols appropriately to stay up longer.

It was a nice idea that we could use in this one quest we were doing, but when we thought about it with a more broad perspective, it didn't really fit. We didn't use it that much and the production costs were pretty high for this mini-game because it was separate animations, cameras, dialogue for these guys.' And Konrad Tomaszkiewicz really liked it. The idea came from the fourth Witcher novel written by Andrzej Sapkowski, The Swallow's Tower, released in 1997 (the English translation is due in 2016), in which Ciri sees off her pursuers in a bloody bout of ice skating. The idea for it being in The Witcher 3 came from a big Sapkowski fan working on Cyberpunk 2077 upstairs.' We started doing animations and so on,' Tomaszkiewicz recalls.

'But we saw in the production that it was a choice between ice skating and some global systems we got in the game, and we needed to cut it off. But maybe in some expansion or something we will add it,' he teases, 'because it's a cool idea.' Kinect support was even on the cards at one point. I spy a sheet of gesture commands while I nose around the office, but I'm not allowed to reproduce that sheet for you here. There were around a dozen covering the major inputs in the game.

Launch

'We got it working somehow,' Tomaszkiewicz tells me, 'but it's easy to create a feature that somehow works: to polish it and make it really useful and cool it's twice more time. If it's a choice between whether we need to finish the streaming system or we need to finish Kinect, it's like, pssh!' Other cuts include a special frozen version of Novigrad for the final battle; the world itself being completely seamless and open; and you being able to choose one of three hubs to begin the story in. For one reason or another, they didn't work. Such cuts are as important as creating, lead writer Marcin Blacha says. 'Changes are always necessary.

The Witcher 3 Not Launching

Over my desk I have printed the five stages of grief, and it's there to get rid of grief for lost ideas.' The release of The Witcher 3 is now mere minutes away.

I keep pinching myself because that date I see on the poster - that date that once seemed so far away - is almost here. I'm on my way to a mall in Warsaw where The Witcher 3 will be let loose.Konrad Tomaszkiewicz remembers the first review, and twiddling his thumbs as the 4pm embargo approached. A link to the GameSpot review came through from marketing. 'I shouted to the guys, 'It's there! It's the first review!' I open it and it was 10/10, and in the whole studio it was so loud - we just jumped on each other and it was a really cool moment, because we knew that we had bugs but they saw something more in the game, not only the game itself.

And for everyone who works in CD Projekt Red that was the most important thing: to create something unique, to create something that would mean more than the game.' The midnight launch crowd in Warsaw.Gripes about bugs and minor issues were expected because CD Projekt Red had seen the issues itself, but criticisms of some of the game's content were harder to take, such as a key storyline that involved alcoholism and abuse. 'It was designed by people who had problems in their homes, had fathers who were alcoholics and so on,' Tomaszkiewicz says, 'and we made it as real as we can. It's not a very simple subject - it's a very complex subject - and we wanted to show this subject from this complex side, to show people that this is really hard to judge.' We always tried to do it like this, with the racism in the first Witcher and the second one, and in the third one we did drugs and other subjects also. Usually those subjects are really complex and you cannot do simple things, because it's not like this in real life. And the game is a mirror of the situations you can get in real life.

It's not simple entertainment. It's more like doing a piece of art, and you want to do something ambitious, something that will leave some thoughts in people's minds.' Nudity and sex and the portrayal of women was called into question too. There was an issue clearing the A Night to Remember launch cinematic because it had 'tits in', Badowski recalls, even though, to him, they were monster nipples so he didn't see the problem. 'This kind of thinking affects our game also,' he goes on.

'We show sex, but Yennefer is a super-strong character in the game, and she, obviously, has sex with Geralt because they were lovers in Sapkowski's books. And the game is rated Mature. A model hired to be a rather convincing Geralt.

I bumped into him at the bar in my hotel.' In movies people have no issues with that, and our game is a story that's longer than a movie. But we have all those elements; we need those moments to establish emotions between characters, to show this is 'this kind' of relation between those characters. Sometimes it's super-difficult because you have to rise-up those emotions not in Geralt but in the player, so we need to show some different moments in their relationship.' But reviews and pre-orders are only a guide: what really matters is what the gaming public makes of it. What the forums say, and what the general buzz is. In other words, what happens from midnight tonight.

'For us it's a huge step,' Badowski says. 'This is my 13th year here and this is my magnum opus. We are launching.' Mall regulations and rising costs prevent CD Projekt Red hosting a mega-event but still there's a stage. On it are the Polish cast of The Witcher 3, handing out prizes and answering questions from the crowd. Hundreds turn out, and as the clock ticks down they swarm the gated barrier of the electronics chain selling the game.

A pack of CD Projekt Red staff have gravitated here independently and there's a poignant moment when - a picture I can imagine hanging memorably on an office wall. The clock strikes midnight and the wave of shoppers crashes in; cameras and phones flash as copies of the game are held up like trophies at the till. The Witcher 3 is out and in people's hands.I return at around 1am to a very quiet CD Projekt Red where a skeleton staff remain for the long haul. Adam Badowski is among a clump huddled around a screen watching feedback come in, poised to pounce if anything were to emerge. Now is the crucial time. He takes me through to GOG's monitoring area where there are snacks and caffeinated drinks but all is calm, and I stare tiredly at the graph charting the number of people playing the game. I ask him when Steam will release, for that is really the big one, and he replies that it has.

Then that is it, I realise. That's really it. I congratulate him and he allows a small smile. 'It's too quiet,' he replies, and walks away.
