Kacper Szymczak's Blog

Kacper Szymczak started off as a hardcore gamer, an active offspring of the Unreal Tournament Sniper Arena community. His first humble work includes community-aimed level design. This experience opened the door to Poland-based game development company Techland, where he works until this day. Starting off as a level designer at Call of Juarez game, he continued and broadened his work throughout works on his yet unreleased, ever-loved magnum opus - Warhound. Currently, as a Multiplayer designer, he’s polishing out the last bits of the online part of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood.
