AnsweRED Podcast Episode 11 | Navigating the World of Freelance & Big Industry Names

The 11th episode of the AnsweRED Podcast just dropped!

This time, we met again at Promised Land Art Festival with our unstoppable hosts, Sebastian Kalemba and Paweł Burza, who were joined by Concept Artist Karla Ortiz and Concept Artist/Illustrator Even Amundsen. Not only did we hear about their professional experience working on projects like Marvel movies or tabletop games, but also about the perks of freelancing versus working in-house and much more.
AnsweRED Podcast is CD PROJEKT RED’s format dedicated to individuals interested in game development, providing a unique platform for them to gain knowledge from our team representatives’ insights, experiences, and cutting-edge expertise. We also invite game dev experts from around the world to foster inspiring discussions and diverse viewpoints.
