Tate Multimedia's Steel Rats

How to thrive as an indie in the shadow of a giant like CD Projekt Red

The Polish gaming scene has, undeniably, been operating in the shadows of the behemoth that is CD Projekt Red and The Witcher franchise. With their success, other big companies in Poland have flourished as well such as Techland (Dying Light, Dead Island), CIGames (Sniper: Ghost Warrior), and 11bitstudios (This War of Mine/Frostpunk). As we know, a rising tide raises all boats, and CD Projekt’s tide has been more of a tidal wave.

In this already densely populated development scene, you would imagine that there is very little oxygen for anybody else. However, we here at Tate Multimedia in Poland decided to take this challenge head on with our own strategies and initiatives designed to help us thrive. These ideas boil down to three different approaches; be different, do what you do best and expand your horizons.
