[p]Today, we’re delighted to introduce the talented team behind the Scottish portion of the UK Rework project. As part of our ongoing efforts to revitalise one of the earliest regions released for Euro Truck Simulator 2, Scotland is receiving special attention to ensure its breathtaking landscapes, historic cities, and winding rural roads are represented with the care and quality they deserve.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/c1e368306e3455ac67444af9671c7afc2f35033a.jpg"][/img][/p][p]Bringing Scotland up to modern standards is no small task. From its characterful cities and historic landmarks to its sweeping Highlands and intricate road network, there’s a great deal of care and craftsmanship going into every kilometre. As part of the wider UK Rework, three dedicated map teams are working across different areas, and today, we’re shining the spotlight on the talented individuals responsible for Scotland. Each team member has prepared a short message to share a little about themselves, along with a few hints and glimpses of what they’re currently working on. We hope you enjoy getting to know the people helping to bring a refreshed Scotland to life! P.S. We hope you know Scottish Gaelic.[/p][p]Vojta - Map Design Lead[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/fa1647c5531710449407cf36ab1bbf441ac4d1e0.jpg"][/img][/p][p]"When my team and I finished Scandinavia Refresh, we were given the opportunity to work on another beautiful country. We're facing the challenge of recreating the stunning landscape of the Scottish Highlands while capturing the beautiful and unique architecture of the local towns and cities. Fortunately, I have a team full of very enthusiastic and talented map designers who are eager to create the breathtaking scenery that our community deserves. I really hope that players will enjoy our interpretation of this beautiful country and its mystique."[/p][p] Aartee - Senior Map Designer[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/ff0c9b2a4c67438cf2d5913dd81a12c8d26aaa5d.jpg"][/img][/p][p]"I have worked as a map designer for six years. Now, I have the opportunity to work on Scotland, the greatest country in the world. My main focus has been big cities with complex layouts and infrastructure, but now my portfolio also extends to the unique scenery of the Scottish Highlands. Cities in Scotland offer a unique blend of old and new, especially Edinburgh, which is the city I am working on. I am aiming to bring you the best atmosphere Edinburgh can offer with its history, architecture, and its distinct cold yet rich vibe."[/p][p] Albert - Map Designer[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/baa52c8e18038b01246f67f67638801d42b9a308.jpg"][/img][/p][p]"From the low rolling hills of Denmark and the unique architecture of Copenhagen, my next big objective lies in the proud nation of Scotland. I have the privilege of recreating the south of Scotland, from the historical town of Falkirk to the bustling city of Glasgow. This nation is undoubtedly very rich in its history, with beautifully mysterious landscapes hiding sometimes more than it seems at first glance. I will do my best to capture what makes Scotland Scotland, but the final piece is always the players, and I’m already beyond excited for you to take a seat behind the wheel and explore this stunning nation from the cabin of your own truck. Scotland Forever!"[/p][p] Lukáš N. - Map Designer[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/75b02c61bec1383f76250a351fd6ec3d38424bb0.jpg"][/img][/p][p]"Dè tha suas, deagh dhaoine? Ciamar a tha thu a' dèanamh? Tha mi a' dèanamh gu math, taing airson iarraidh. Gus faighinn a-steach don t-sìde, chan eil mo làithean ach a bhith ag èisteachd ri a' phìob mhòr, ag òl uisge beatha (air sgàth HR chan eil e ach taobh a-muigh uairean obrach gu dearbh) agus a 'coimhead seallaidhean iongantach Albannach. Feumaidh mi aideachadh, tha seallaidhean bòidheach agaibh a-muigh an sin! Tha mi cuideachd ag obair air baile no dhà, chan eil mi a' dol a ràdh dè an fheadhainn, mar sin tha iongnadh ort, ach nam biodh mi a' tadhal air baile Aberdeen aon latha san àm ri teachd, dè na taighean-bìdh a bhiodh tu a' moladh dhomh?"[/p][p] Lukáš B. - Junior Map Designer[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/cfbec0cd52da48d288a66d21cdb646974aa1e200.jpg"][/img][/p][p]"You may know me from the Scandinavia Refresh Project, which was my first project working at SCS Software. Now I am well-equipped with all the experience from the past, working with the same team lead and coordinated by Vojta. I am happy to build Scotland from the ground up. I am looking forward to capturing the vast landscapes of Scotland and bringing them into our game, for all of us to enjoy."[/p][p]Sara - Junior Map Designer[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/5f51afaefb1358971f854d4f33e4f7ad019c9d75.jpg"][/img][/p][p]"As soon as I looked at the beautiful Scottish Highlands, I knew this would be a project where I could really show my skills. Sculpting tall hills with beautiful landscapes is a challenge I'm ready to face, and nothing can stop me! I joined SCS a year ago, and my skills have already improved so much that I can’t wait to see where they will be after this project. I swear I'll do my best to make it as magical as it looks in real life. Also, I love horses!"[/p][p]Tomáš - Junior Map Designer[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/888a3f7ab247c4bea1a2edee118b248efd926219.jpg"][/img][/p][p]"It's already been almost a year and a half since I started working at SCS, and I somehow still can't believe it. I started off with Scandinavia refresh, and now I am happy to say that I am a part of the UK rework project, specifically Scotland, which in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful countries. I am enjoying working on Scotland. I really enjoyed working on the Eilean Donan Castle, which you may have seen already. Many of my current tasks are situated around the highlands, where the scenery is just breathtaking. I enjoy all of my tasks as they include a lot of mountains, lakes, and mostly the countryside, and I want to capture the nature of Scotland as best I can, so that our players always have something to look at and look forward to seeing the next interesting place on the map. Now I have one question for our players: Do you believe in the Loch Ness monster?"[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/0ae1b5568eea1c9d068ca6936338d4630e7c4c39.jpg"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/abec18c4382bcb8c2646e3fb99a156b3b24f0f45.jpg"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/1786c9c8a9c4b7f3812ea2121e4ad1154443bff1.jpg"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/37ef52da68f68d94e15d1678a640bc22bf814516.jpg"][/img][/p][p]A big thank you to everyone on the team for taking time out of their busy schedules to share a glimpse into their work on Scotland.
