But your example shows that we put the landscape first. I think sometimes in game development, people make the mistake of creating the village first then the landscape. I don't think that's something we're really used to. It's almost a Grand Theft Auto 5 level of specificity with the game world but in a rural setting. And then the kids are playing up on top of the hill I even children playing in little mud streams that happened because of the way the land fell and where the water drained. As if the builder was construtcing around the landscape. But it actually makes it look more realistic. With some of the villages you in the game you'll find houses built on hills at somewhat awkward angles. That's how you end up with a really natural looking environment that has that detail about an open world scale. You apply it on a large scale, and everyone knows the rules and logic behind it.

And this is the same kind of thinking we use in the game's architecture: how to connect it with the landscape. So you add the little bushes underneath, a little grass, some flowers.

How is a forest supposed to look? You can place a tree and you can be done, but it won't really be a forest. How did you manage to figure that one out? In The Witcher 2, you had total control over where the player went, and that meant you could spend as much time making really finite detail in the world because you know everyone's going to see it.Д«ut from what we played yesterday, it seems like that detail is still there. There were points you had to sit down and think about how you're going to solve some things, because in an open world, you can't really control where the player goes. We had to change the way we did things as well, because you're working on a much bigger scale. It was really quite a challenge to create. Especially coming from The Witcher 2, and moving on to something as big as this. Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a pretty vast game.
