'CLAWBALL' CONCEPT - THE WITCHER S3
On Witcher season 3 I got to sink my teeth into some really cool things , one of the funest and oddest was the 'clawball' game - at first it was meant to be like a table tennis game but the designer and the directors wanted to develop it into something different , it went through tons of iterations and ended up being an amalgamation of tennis , dodgeball , high low and squash . I loved designing the helmets - they were based on kendo masks , and also I got a bit of Warhammer blood bowl influence in there to see if Henry would spot it.
