GWENTfinity: 1 year after. Special guests: Maciej Kokosza and Jean Auquier [UA/RU SUB]

It’s been a year since GWENTfinity and the Balance Council transformed the world of GWENT. In this interview, we sit down with the masterminds behind it all, Jean Auquier and Maciej Kokosza, former game designers at CD PROJEKT RED, to uncover their journey and the future of the game. Watch as TgGwent’s hosts guide the two architects of GWENT as we know it through the highs and lows of game design, balancing and finding inspiration for card design - be it in the shower or while listening to other card game designers. The interview reveals the emotional connection the designers still have with the game, along with fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, from the surprising community influences on game updates to favourite card designs. Tune in to find out: - How to vote in the Balance Council - Why ‘warring factions’ in the Balance Council are great, actually - Do Jean and Maciej still play GWENT - What would Jean and Maciej change in GWENT (if they could) and much more!
