One more thing from the holidays
08.01.2009, 10:44Comments: 10
Considering the fact that the holiday season and New Year’s have passed, I think it’s high time to announce the winners in our latest contest. As you probably remember, we asked you to prepare a recipe for a dish that could be served at a Witcher’s feast without having to buy a subscription to the nearest toilet (English editor’s note: no, in Poland they don’t actually have to subscribe to toilets; it’s a joke). We’ve received a lot of cool – and sometimes not-so-tasty – recipes and we’ve picked the best one.
And the winner is … didi510 and her cookies!
To be honest, we fell in love with them at first sight. See for yourself; they are lovely, aren’t they? I regret that my cooking abilities hardly go further than making tea without burning down my flat, because I would like to make some of these on my own :)
For her efforts, Didi will get a Geralt figurine, some other game-related swag and our blessing for her future cooking inventions :)
We would also like to call out two more people for exemplary examples. The first one is lovely_psycho , and the second is dreamer4ever . Great job guys, you’ll get some extra Orens from us.
Once again, kudos to everyone who took part in the contest - we’ll have more of those for you soon!
If you want to, you can find recipes in THIS PDF.
A New Year is here!

Welcome back after a long holiday absence.
First of all, we hope you spent your holidays in a nice warm family atmosphere and that your first encounter with the New Year wasn’t like sightseeing in the nine circles of hell (red. I wouldn’t recommend that - I’ve been there recently and there is nothing interesting to see at all :) – PanKarol ).
What will this year bring? It’s hard to say right now, but you can be sure that we won’t let you get bored. We have a lot of plans to roll out and a lot of materials to show, and I’m not talking just about Rise of the White Wolf, if you know what I mean :). Trust me - we’ll do everything that is possible to make this The Witcher’s year yet again
So once again, happy 2009 and stay tuned for more Witcher news!

Here comes a holiday surprise for all Witcher Fans! – A special hotfix for EAX and graphics blur issues!
You can download it here.
Seasons Greetings from The Witcher Team!
Fixes
======================================================
1) EAX technology problems – this patch resolves problems related to EAX technology, which did not operate properly in conjunction with the game, generating critical errors when activated in the Game Options panel.
2) The patch also eliminates the blur (deriving from “glow” effect augmentation) remaining after cut scenes and dialogue sequences.
Ho, ho, ho - Witcher Christmas Card is here!

No snow in sight – that’s true. But even without it, the holidays are in the air in a big way – so big, in fact, you can feel them, hear them, smell them. Like every year, we’ve prepared a special greeting card. We’ve just started sending it out, and you should find it in your mailbox within hours.
We know at least some of you may not want to wait, so we’ve prepared a holiday page – http://holiday.thewitcher.com – where you’ll find the card posted already. What’s more, go to that page and you’ll find an opportunity to send your own wishes to anyone – your best mate, family, friends, even that sexy neighbor of yours. And who better to deliver them than Geralt himself!
Don’t miss this chance to bring a smidgen of happiness into someone’s life. After all, that’s what the holidays are for, eh?
GameBanshee likes to talk, and so do we!

Here is another interview about Return of the White Wolf - this time at GameBanshee. First role, as usual, goes to our court ‘chatterbox’ – Tom Ohle :) . Together with Mateusz Kanik, designer on RotWW, they talk about the game, new enemy behaviors and future support of PSN and Live!
I hope you enjoy reading it !
Drowner's Fricassee

Geralt could fool himself no longer – winter had arrived in full regalia. And it was not the kind of winter that Dandelion had described in one of his ballads as ‘innocent, soft and pallid, like a virgin’s cheek.’ It was real, it was serious – even mundane trips out to the privy were painful, the frost pinching exposed skin like Madame Dolores did at the Night House. Geralt was certainly no freezing weather enthusiast, but feeling cold all the time was hardly his chief concern. For winter, apart from its natural attributes, brought changes in human behavior, changes Geralt found disturbing. Ladies of the evening no longer roamed the streets, bandits in dark alleys weren’t hitting as hard, even dwarves, for whom drinking to obliteration was a pastime, were walking out of taverns on their own two feet. Geralt knew what was in store – the holidays were coming. The witchers would once again convene around the table in Kaer Morhen’s great hall to recount their adventures of the year past. The meetings usually turned rowdy, with alcohol flowing abundantly, but things would not be the same with Triss present this year. The sorceress had an altogether different idea of what made a holiday feast – needless to say, she did not see ale, wine and vodka served in succession as a three course meal. She had already advised the witchers to be inventive in their choice of menu for the repast under threat of waking up on the morrow turned into swine. Somewhere deep in his soul Geralt was glad there were still those who upheld the great and beautiful traditions – he just regretted his personal friend was among them. Resigned to his fate, he mounted Roach and headed off toward the village. ‘Who knows,’ he thought. ‘Maybe I’ll find some road kill on the way…’
And that’s the moment when you start to play the first role. We would like you to invent a recipe for delicious dish that could be prepared for a witchers’ feast. The more devious and wicked, the better :)
Send your proposition to , with “Christmas Contest” in subject. The three best ideas will be rewarded with sets of The Witcher games & gadgets.
We are waiting for you recipies till 4th of January.
Enjoy the cooking, chefs :)

Return of the White Wolf on GameCyte

We cross off another day in our calendar - what’s new? The weather outside is frightful, and we’ve got another interview to point to. Who are the victims today? None other than Tom Ohle, our man for USA, Canada and UK, and Jakub Stylinski, Senior Designer.
A few days ago, GameCyte interrogated them about Rise of the White Wolf. Did they play the tough guys and stay quiet, or did they reveal some secrets under the pressure of the journalist’s questions? You’ll have to read on to find out.
You can find the interview HERE.
Rise of the White Wolf in Click!

Here it is, one of the first magazine covers of The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf! Where? It’s in the recent (still hot) issue of Click! magazine.
We really like it, and you?
Aside from the cover, inside the magazine you can find a very interesting article in which the developers reveal a few secrets about the game, features and the future of the project.
Below you can find some quotes.
„Vizima, one of the biggest cities in history of RPG games looks even more charming in the new Witcher.”
„For the game purpose, especially Fight sequences, CD Projekt RED is working on brand new and even more spectacular animations of Geralt and his enemies. They are being prepared in Frankfurt, by the same team that is responsible for animations in the PC Witcher. I’ve been able to have a look at effects of their work and I must say, that they had taken my breath away.”
