Cyberpunk 2077 le protagoniste révèle la fumée et les miroirs derrière l'une des quêtes les plus uniques du RPG: “Notre équipe de cinéma voulait me tuer”



Discutablement Cyberpunk 2077‘s most famous date scenethe underwater scuba dive with tech wizard Judy Alvarezwas made with smoke and mirrors, according to one lead developer.

In PC Gamer’s lengthy roundtable chat with RPG developers, at around the 35:00 minute mark, CDPR‘s acting lead quest designer Sarah Gruemmer talked about a limitation that soon turned into a creative solution. “We have the quest where we go diving with Judy in Cyberpunk,” Grummer says, which then turned tricky when the team didn’thave diving [animations] for NPCs in our game.

CD Projekt Red developers stillreally wanted to make this quest where you have this moment with her underwater,” so they opted to use theirscene system to do the entire thing and we just worked around it.That process involved puttingeverything on animation and then just had to chuck everything in shorter sections, so she waits there in an idle animation and you can do ‘gameplay thingsaround her.

The trick is that Judy is stillclose enough that you can actually talk and then, you know, move to the next section. Everything is, nouveau, just an underwater animation. Notre équipe de cinéma voulait me tuer,” Gruemmer jokes.

Cyberpunk 2077 developers have been sharing plenty about their redeemed open-world romp recently, with another environment artist explaining that creating Night City posed a “défi important” when it came to “s'adapter à l'échelle et aux caractéristiques du contexte américain,” especially since CDPR is primarily a Poland-based studio.

The Witcher 4 is being “intensively worked on,” but Cyberpunk 2 is keeping most of its senior developers to “preserve” the RPG’s DNA.
