“It was fun to recognise the way people text and their humour, which I’ve known for 7 years now, in the actual people I met for the first time. ScuL planned it all very well – the meeting at SCS, dinner and bowling.” Furthermore, I’m the winner of the very first ProMods Bowling Championship, so that goes into the history books.
Chris94_NOR just waits in Berlin for 3 peeps (MandelSoft, Nico and me) he never met in person before, to take them to Prague, to make sure they are getting there in time too. To me, the journey to the meetup proved how good the spirit within ProMods is. “The trip was great, meeting fellow ProModders and SCS peeps was a nice experience. Prague is a beautiful city that vastly exceeded my expectations, it was a great time all-round.” Getting to tour the SCS offices and chat to some of the people behind the game was a fantastic opportunity and it was weirdly surreal to walk around and see the map editor, a program that I’d spend so much time using as a hobbyist, open on everyone’s screen in a professional setting. “It was great to finally meet some of the team that I’ve been part of for 5 years in person. This is what some of our members had to say about the meetup: It was another great evening, but all too soon we had to say our goodbyes and most of us headed home the next day. Moderator Volleybal4life (or should we say Bowling4life) was crowned winner of the inaugural ProMods Bowling Championship! After this we once again explored the sights of the city before many of us reconvened for drinks and dinner. We had a fun morning of bowling followed by pool, darts and various other bar games. Thanks to excellent preparation by ProMods founder ScuL, our second day was packed with activities. Our team then had a go on the motion rigs, with only a few crashes ensuing! After a fantastic morning at SCS – and some selfies with the CEO – we explored the city sights before meeting for dinner at a delightful restaurant in the centre. Our founders ScuL and Nico gave a short presentation to some of SCS’s staff, including CEO Pavel Šebor, after which we were all shown around the office.
We are incredibly thankful to SCS for offering to invite us for the morning when they heard of our grand meetup. On the first day we were kindly invited along to SCS Software’s offices just outside the city centre. But on Thursday almost everybody embarked on their journey to Prague by train, coach, car and plane (with pretty much everyone suffering from public transport issues at some point!) Others came from even further (New Zealand!) so planned a longer stay in Europe.
Some of our team members had to travel quite the distance across the continent (2000+ km by car!) so in order to reach Prague on time they had already left days before. We had a packed couple of days in the Czech capital, enjoying the company of SCS, the sights of the city, the local cuisine and of course the bars! And where else to hold this meeting but Prague, home of SCS Software. Why were we in Prague? Well, the reason for this was because – after some considerable planning (and travelling) – we had a grand team meetup for the first time since ProMods started in 2012! Smaller sporadic meetups of a few team members have happened before, but this was the first time so many of us have met in person. Last month you may have seen us appear on SCS Software’s social media.
