Meeting Takemura in Tom’s Diner and playing Automatic Love quest with my friend Kajetan Kapuściński, Acting Lead Cinematic Designer from CD Projekt RED! After talking to Takemura we called Judy and went to Clouds.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world RPG that I have co-created. As I love talking about design, storytelling and psychology in games, I have started streaming on Twitch and discussing it all with my audience.

My goal is to share everything I have learned over a decade in AAA games industry, openly exchange ideas, explain creative decisions and encourage the next generation of game designers and storytellers to create.
