11 Video Games You Didn’T Know Were Made in Poland 11 VIDEO GAMES YOU DIDN’T KNOW WERE MADE IN POLAND When you think of the hot spots of video game creation, your mind probably goes to places like Japan, the US, and South Korea. While those places may be hotbeds, there are plenty of amazing titles that come from all over the world! Take Poland for example, where GOG.COM resides, and titles like The Witcher series from CD PROJEKT RED come from. You may have known that series came from Poland, but there have been many other amazing games to come out of the country, so we thought it would be fun to highlight some of the fantastic titles you may have played but didn’t realize were made in Poland. Check out the full list! 1 FROSTPUNK Developed and published by 11 bit studios and released in 2018, Frostpunk is one of those titles you may not have realized that originated in Poland.At its core, Frostpunk is a city-building survival game. It takes place in an alternate version of the late 1800s where volcanic eruptions have blotted out the sun and caused a terrible winter that threatened the survival of the human race. In Frostpunk, you are tasked with building up civilization to not only help your people survive but, hopefully, flourish. TOWER OF TIME A variety of amazing games have come out of Poland, including some great, classic RPG titles. Tower of Time, developed and published by Event Horizon, is one such example. First released in 2018, Tower of Time takes classic RPG elements and combines it with real-time combat that allows you to both slow and stop time. Tower of Time is great for players that are looking for an interesting story or someone who just likes grinding cool loot in an awesome setting. If 50+ hours of classic RPG goodness is your style, then this one is definitely a title from Poland worth checking out. 2 SUPERHOT One of the more unique titles on this list is also one of the more unique games to come out in the past few years. Developed and published by the SUPERHOT Team in 2016, SUPERHOT is a first- person shooter with a unique twist — time only moves when you move. That means you can quickly (or rather very slowly) assess a situation by stopping your player’s movement. What you’re left with is a unique shooting title that oozes with style and cinematic flair. WEEDCRAFT INC Created by Vile Monarch and released in 2019, Weedcraft Inc is a management sim game that looks at the budding (pun very much intended) world of legal cannabis growing and selling.Thanks to its subject matter, it holds a unique place in the world of tycoon-style management games. In it, you start off as an illegal dealer and slowly work your way up making decisions that will (hopefully) help you become a legal organization. On the other end, you have to make sure you are using the proper nutrients, lights, and more to produce the best plants possible. If you want a management game with a unique twist, we have you covered with Weedcraft Inc. 3 DYING LIGHT One of the most iconic zombie games to release in the last decade, Dying Light was developed in Poland by Techland and published by Warner Bros. in 2015. In the game, you play as Kyle Crane, an undercover agent sent to check out a quarantine zone in the city of Harran. You have to retrieve an important file, but to do so you’ll have to fight your way through waves of grotesque zombies. It features dynamic lighting cycles, which has players scavenging for materials and other items during the day, while at night, the stagnant zombies become much faster and powerful, so fighting for your life becomes that much more difficult. COOKING SIMULATOR Now for something quite different than zombie killing. Cooking Simulator, developed by Big Cheese Studio and Wastelands Interactive, takes the cooking genre and flips it like a pancake. Instead of many titles in the genre that focus on creating an efficient order of operations among your line cooks and sous chefs, in Cooking Simulator you are tasked with actually making the food yourself. The game is played in the first-person mode and features realistic physics which are sure to cause plenty of laughs as you get your bearings straight around your new kitchen. 4 LAYERS OF FEAR Another scary game to come out of Poland, Layers of Fear was first released in 2016 from Bloober Team. You play as a painter who is trying to finish their grand masterpiece, but things quickly take an odd turn as you start hallucinating. You’ll have to solve puzzles and search your ever-changing home to figure out all the secrets. With three different endings, Layers of Fear offers plenty of replayability for players looking for an interesting plot where they control the outcome. SOLSTICE Time for a beautiful visual novel from MoaCube, a small indie studio based in Poland. In Solstice, you find yourself in a dystopian mystery thriller where stories between people help drive the narrative. Set in a city in the middle of a frozen wasteland, the story starts with a missing person and a group of people dead set on finding them. It doesn’t take long to realize things are a bit off. You can switch between two playable characters during your investigation in order to unlock all the secrets in the game. 5 RUINER With titles like Cyberpunk 2077 coming out, it should be of no surprise that Polish developers love a good cyberpunk setting. Ruiner is one such example. Set in a cyberpunk future, Ruiner is a top- down shooter with some gorgeous gameplay and artwork. It was developed Reikon Games and first released in 2017. Bold lines and colors set off the top-down action where you play a man on a bloody task to save his brother. If you are looking for a bold title with amazing artwork and compelling gameplay, this one is definitely for you. DARKWOOD Another top-down game on the list, Darkwood is a survival horror game developed by Acid Wizard Studio and released in 2017. On top of being developed in Poland, the game also takes place there, as well. You find yourself in a mysterious forest where you have to scavenge materials and repair your home base before night falls. During the night, you must protect your base from intruders. On your journey, you’ll meet other characters as you try to solve the mystery of the forest. 6 WE. THE REVOLUTION We. The Revolution is one of the more unique titles to come from Poland. Developed by Polyslash and released in 2019, you play as a judge who presides over various cases, with you ultimately deciding the fate of those on trial. In between cases, you’ll also learn more about the French Revolution, with your decisions in these trials affecting how the state and other political factions perceive you.If narrative-driven titles are your style of game, it’s definitely one to check out. So, there you have it, 11 unique titles that range from cooking and horror to fast-paced shooters that were all made in Poland! Be sure to check the Made in Poland Sale on GOG.COM! 7 CLASH DISCOVER A CLASSIC STRATEGY GAME AHEAD OF ITS TIME Now, after over 20 years, GOG.COM brings back Clash, a unique fantasy strategy game, from obscurity. Check out why we want to remind you about this DRM-free classic. GENERALS AND DRAGONS The mix of strategy games with a fantasy setting has a long history behind it. Not surprisingly — many of the first game developers were hardcore J.R.R. Tolkien and Dungeon and Dragons fans. Games like King’s Bounty, Warlords, and Heroes of Might and Magic were hugely popular in the 90s. Gamers loved them for the opportunity to command armies containing fantastic beasts like dragons or vampires. At the same time, all those titles contained RPG style features, like treasure hunting.Turn-based strategy games at that time had one huge advantage over then-popular RTS games like Warcraft. Thanks to the Hot Seat option anyone could invite their friends over for a multiplayer duel. Playing those games together became a tradition for many gamers, and was something players could have fun in groups even before the days of LAN parties. And then, out of the blue, one developing studio from Wrocław, Poland, decided to take this game genre one step further. A CLASH OF IDEAS Before turning into the direction of turn-based strategies, Leryx Longsoft studio (founded in 1993) had one considerable project behind it — the platform game Lew Leon. The title enjoyed considerable success in Poland, so the ambitions of the young development team grew even higher. In 1996, they announced that they were working on a new game. 8 The head developer and score composer, years, I still remember it with lots of Adam Skorupa (alias Scorpik) described the sentiment, because it was, at least in terms title as one that combines elements from of the script and game mechanics, my child. Warlords, Heroes of Might and Magic and… Civilization 2. GAME AHEAD OF ITS TIME In Clash, the gamer would be able to not Released in 1998, Clash was welcomed only expand cities and recruit knights and warmly by game critics. They praised the fantastic monsters but tackle advanced beautiful, almost fairytale-like graphics and diplomacy options and even create their interesting game mechanics.

  • CD PROJEKT RED and NVIDIA Partner to Bring Ray Tracing to ‘Cyberpunk 2077’
    CD PROJEKT RED and NVIDIA Partner to Bring Ray Tracing to ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Highly Acclaimed, Highly Anticipated Game Uses Real-Time Ray Tracing E3--NVIDIA and CD PROJEKT RED today announced that NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ is an official technology partner for Cyberpunk 2077 and that the companies are working together to bring real-time ray tracing to the game. Cyberpunk 2077 won over 100 awards at E3 2018 and Gamespot calls it “one of the most anticipated games of the decade.'' The game is the next project from CD PROJEKT RED, makers of the highly acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which has won numerous “Game of the Year'' awards. NVIDIA and CD PROJEKT RED have a long history of technology collaboration that spans more than a decade. “Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredibly ambitious game, mixing first-person perspective and deep role-playing, while also creating an intricate and immersive world in which to tell its story,'' said Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “We think the world of Cyberpunk will greatly benefit from the realistic lighting that ray tracing delivers.'' Ray tracing is the advanced graphics technique used to give movies their ultra-realistic visual effects. NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs contain specialized processor cores designed specifically to accelerate ray tracing so the visual effects in games can be rendered in real time. “Ray tracing allows us to realistically portray how light behaves in a crowded urban environment,'' says Adam Badowski, head of Studio at CD PROJEKT RED. “Thanks to this technology, we can add another layer of depth and verticality to the already impressive megacity the game takes place in.'' Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification.

  • Asseco Poland, CCC, CD Projekt, Dino Polska, JSW
    Dziennik 20 sierpnia 2019 r. Komentarz dnia: Indeksy GPW zmiana WIG otw. 55 756,5 -0,1% Trwa sezon publikacji wyników finansowych. Ostateczne dane Lotosu za drugi kwartał 2019 są WIG zam. 56 035,2 1,5% zgodne ze wstępnymi wynikami i oceniamy je neutralnie. Neutralnie podchodzimy także do wyników Dino i Alumetalu. W przypadku Dino dane są nieco lepsze niż oczekiwania rynkowe, obrót (mln PLN) 632,3 -24,4% ale nieco poniżej naszych szacunków. Podoba nam się silny wzrost przychodów (+38% r/r) oraz WIG 20 otw. 2 078,8 -0,3% utrzymanie wysokiej marży brutto. Uważamy, że wysoka inflacja żywności jest czynnikiem WIG 20 zam. 2 102,2 1,8% sprzyjającym wynikom spółki. W odniesieniu do Alumetalu wyniki są zbieżne z naszymi FW20 otw. 2 085,0 -0,1% oczekiwaniami. Dostrzegamy spadek wolumenów, ale jednocześnie wyższe marże. FW20 zam. 2 103,0 1,5% mWIG40 otw. 3 775,5 -0,1% Z pozytywnych danych warto wskazać na wyniki Netii. Są one powyżej oczekiwań, zwłaszcza na mWIG40 zam. 3 778,5 0,6% poziomie zysku netto. W wynikach spółki widać wyraźnie pozytywny efekt oszczędności kosztowych (przede wszystkim na kosztach wynagrodzeń). Największe wzrosty kurs zmiana Mieszane wstępne wyniki podało CCC. Z jednej strony są one wyraźnie słabsze r/r, ale z drugiej Cyfrowy Polsat 28,00 4,6% wyższe niż nasze prognozy. Sumarycznie oceniamy je zatem lekko pozytywnie. Na plus należy mBank 317,00 4,6% wskazać spadek kosztów w sklepach CCC oraz dobre wyniki sprzedażowe segmentu e- commerce. Na minus natomiast zwracają uwagę wysokie koszty w nowo przejętych markach GTC 9,58 4,0% (Gino Rossi, Vogele).
