CDProjekt RED Dev Kit Now Available For Open Beta Download

CDProjekt RED Dev Kit Now Available For Open Beta Download

Vincent Parisi 13 May

Modders, gaming enthusiasts, and storytellers alike, I’ve got worthwhile news for you. CD Projekt RED, the developers behind The Witcher series and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, have launched the open beta for their development kit, called REDkit. The team describes REDkit as, “the ultimate set of tools for crafting non-linear role-playing adventures!”

CD Projekt Red promises that gamers won’t need to be expert programmers or familiar with other content-creation editors to take advantage of REDkit’s powerful tools. Those who wish to create a high-quality action-RPG of their own design will have access to Witcher series staples such as non-linear story creation with branching plots and believable characters. Content creators will also have access to art and assets from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, in addition to the ability to import customized models and environmental designs.

In response to the launch of Redkit, head of CD Projekt RED Adam Badowski stated that, “for CD Projekt RED, RPGs are all about telling amazing stories. We want to give players the power to tell the same kind of non-linear, branching stories that made The Witcher games so popular.”  He added that, “our fans have helped us for years to make our games the best they can be, and REDkit is part of embracing our community as a partner in game development.”

I’m not much of a programmer, but I certainly love creative writing, and if someone could make an easy and intuitive enough tool kit for me to design my own RPG with, I’d be all over it. Perhaps REDkit is just the solution. Either way, the rest of the modding community should be able to churn out some outstanding stuff with this; the art, character models, and environments in the Witcher series are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, so I look forward to seeing what my fellow gamers can come up with. The main page where Redkit can be downloaded from is here.

Are you guys and gals interested in downloading REDkit? Have you ever wanted to try designing your own game? What genre would you prefer to create for? Share your thoughts in the comments section, and don’t forget to like us on Facebook, or give us the ‘ol +1 on Google+.

About The Author

Vincent Parisi

I guess I'm the typical, modern day nerd. I was raised right on Batman: TAS and old-school TMNT. I've been a core gamer since I was 2 years old (I was beating Mario before I could finish sentences) and haven't thought twice about it since. My favorite game genre is RPG for sure. I love the advent of channels like Nerdist and Geek and Sundry, and will never turn down an invitation to a Con. (Though I don't cosplay... yet.) I hate not owning the latest and greatest gadgets and aspire to find my place in the world of game journalism. Favorite Games: The Mass Effect trilogy, Super Mario World, the BioShock series, the Ratchet and Clank series, anything featuring Nolan North. Favorite shows: FireFly (Browncoats, unite!), Bones, Castle, Spectacular Spider-Man (RIP), Transformers Prime. Anything featuring the voice talents of Steve Blum, Gina Torres, Ashley Johnson, or Yuri Lowenthal. Favorite Comics: Amazing Spider-Man (Thanks for the memories), most things featuring Batman, any one where Green Arrow makes an appearance.
