THE WITCHER 4
The Witcher 4 Ciri Mod for The Witcher 3
In response to the highly anticipated release of The Witcher 4, I created a mod that recreates Ciriβs appearance from the new installment within The Witcher 3. This project stems from my experience as a tester for the REDKit toolβthe engine used by CD Projekt Red for The Wild Hunt. My work with REDKit not only pushed me outside my comfort zone from Unreal Engine but also gave me the rare opportunity to interact with AAA game engines and documentation written by leading industry developers themselves.
The mod quickly garnered widespread attention, with over 4 million views and more than 4,000 downloads. It was even publicly recognized by the director of the Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher sagas. Recently, it has been shared by major industry publications, which has contributed to an outpouring of positive feedback and community support.
This project was a significant milestone in my career as an indie developer, programmer, and artist, reflecting the impact my work has made in the gaming community and industry. It has been an honor to receive such recognition from CD Projekt Red and to see my work appreciated on such a large scale.
