This session explores how Warhorse Studios produced the quests for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, a large open-world RPG with 135 quests and over 1.5 million words of quest-related content. The talk examines the production challenges of scaling narrative content with a mid-sized team, from organizing quest teams and production pipelines to managing parallel development and feedback.
Attendees will learn how Warhorse adapted its production approach as the project evolved, balancing the flexibility of parallel development with the need for greater focus later in production. The session also explores how the team prioritized remaining work, created space for focused development, and expanded feedback across the studio to improve quest quality. It provides practical lessons for producers, leads, and developers working on complex, quest-driven games.
