WISHBONE'S TALE: PART FOUR
The arrival
We were finally there! Almost. The taxi dropped us off outside the CD Projekt HQ, which wasn't actually where we needed to go. After looking around for a bit, we spotted a way around the building to the left. I had looked on a map back home and knew that the GOG building was somewhere behind the one in front of us. So we went around it. Behind it we found a tiny building with a GOG.com logo on it, which fortunately turned out not to be the GOG HQ after all. Behind that building was GOG HQ, and it was huge. Of course, they share the building with CD Projekt RED, so they do need quite a bit of space in total.
Inside, we were greeted by none other than Geralt, although he seemed to be too busy to chat. Apart from him, were were greeted by fables22 and elcook, who gave us guest passes for the building (so people could see we were in fact allowed to be there) and labels with our user names to stick on our shirts, so people could see who we each were.
We were guided into a huge meeting room and got settled down in there. We got something to drink, and got our NDAs to sign. That out of the way, the real events could go forward.
The tour
We were shown around the GOG.com offices, which were much larger than I expected them to be. Lots of people working on all sorts of things. There were lots of small meeting rooms, which appeared to see a lot of use. The place felt busy, but at the same time quite relaxed.
We admired everything there was to see, and suitably went "Oooh" and "Aaah" here and there. We spoke briefly and informally to a lot of people involved in various areas of GOG's work, and generally just soaked up the atmosphere. I will have more to say about this in a later post.
After that, we met up with a guy from CD Projekt RED, who took us on a tour of their part of the building. This was not nearly as detailed as the tour of the GOG.com offices, since we hadn't signed an NDA with CD Projekt RED. It was still quite interesting though, even though we didn't see anything of what they were working on.
Interestingly, while the building itself doesn't look like much from the outside, inside it is completely refurbished, and the different floors are done in completely different styles. As such, when you are on the CD Projekt RED floor, you could swear you were in a completely different building.
At this point we were behind schedule, so the break that was planned was shortened considerably, as we mentally prepared for the next part of the event, the part I had been looking forward to the most...
Watch this space for the next exciting installment: Wishbone's Tale: Part Five. I am writing this as I go along, and I have other things to do as well, so I don't have a schedule for when each part goes up. "When it's fucking finished" is as close as I can get ;-)
johnnygoging: . also, you didn't mention swag. gog did send you home with some swag right? you're supposed to get a swag bag! I don't think anyone addressed this: yeah, we got some sweet swag. A cool GOG beer glass (which was utilized shortly after I arrived home), a T-shirt, a set of really nice Gwent pins, a CDPR pin, a Witcher 3 POP! Games figurine (Eredin for me), and a really cool selection of games to add to the backlog (a few of which aren't yet released - no I'll not tell you what they are:! :P)
