Wao, this game has went through more developer transitions than the Soviet Union has gone through dictators.

Anyways, can't wait to see what NVD's EE is going to look like.

MAKE EE GREAT AGAIN!

Why?
As some have already pointed out, I have little experience as a developer, and after little development progress has happened on the Unity client, it’s time to hang up the hat. In the end, I want what’s best for EE, which means handing over the reigns to someone more capable. Considering NVD has previously shown his ability to revive EE, it’s going to him.
How did it get to this? Putting it politically correct: “creative differences”. We have “discussed” a potential reboot, meaning starting from scratch, not updating the current EE anymore, leaving everything online while starting over somewhere else. I expressed my counterarguments for this idea, mainly being all current work (your worlds) going down the drain, looking for a compromise. However, the discussion soon stranded because of NVD’s, Jesse’s, and Showpath’s unwillingless to work with me. I put “discussed” between quotation marks because my hand was effectively forced: they have explicitly expressed they want me gone. That means I could either choose between letting them go and finding new people, or do as they want. No discussion, no compromises available.
I find it painful that it has to have gone this way as I have always tried to create an atmosphere where anyone can say anything, but it seems they think otherwise.
Positive things
When I first joined the EE team, I loved it, especially the summer right after. Working on EE2.0 was a long period of intensive work. While indeed having little experience as a developer, I do know how team dynamics work, which allowed me to apply structure to the way EE was worked on, as there was none. There was a certain kick to getting people to work together and pushing everyone, including myself, to their limits. As a result, EE2.0 was born. Campaigns were added, community interactivity was significantly increased, crews were added for smoother teamwork, including awesome crew profiles with customizable UI, users started getting rewarded for playing, in-game mail was introduced, the ingame UI was greatly improved, so much more stuff, so much content in such little time. Considering my non-developer background, I can say I look back at EE with pride, despite the inactivity at the end. I got to work with a few great people and have learned a lot. It was exhausting at times, but definitely fun.
What’s going to happen to EE?
First of all, we’re entering a transition period. On the business side of things, it takes a while to arrange for transfers. This shouldn’t affect the game itself. As for the rest of the team, that’s up to them, as well as NVD. As for the future of the game, that’s no longer in my hands. I hope the new team, in whatever shape or form, creates something amazing.
What am I going to do next?
I may keep playing the game myself, EE will always have a special place in my heart. I’d like to thank the team as well as the community for giving me a chance to learn and for all the good times we’ve had, and I hope you remember the good times as well.
If you want to say goodbye or ask me some questions, I’ll be here for a while for a talk:

Its a shame to see such a great person leave a great game like EE, i hope you find something you will be happy doing in the future and i thank you for making the EE Community a great place and making EE a great game.

I hope you will continue to play Everybody Edits so everyone will be able to talk to you about your decision.

He's not completely abandoning the game, he's doing what he feels like doing and it's up to him if he wishes to leave, he can.
It's still a shame to see him go <3

I hope that Everybody Edits will continue to be a great game and manage to port to Unity. It's sad to see Nou go but it was bound to happen eventually and a new year comes with new staff and a team of great people to develop the game into something Amazing.

I have not been very active overall, but I have certainly been a long time fan of EE. I remember a lot of drama, but I also remember a lot of progress. Frankly, while I'm not a big fan of flash at all these days, I've still had lots of fun with EE. It's one of those games that I just keep coming back to, and I give some of that credit to you, Nou. I was very happy with all of the changes that came with 2.0, and how they evolved since they were first introduced. You have a lot to be proud of here. I hope that moving forward, anyone who takes the reigns has as much passion and dedication as you have shown. Not EVERYONE hates you, and your fans mourn the loss of you as a leader.

Good luck on whatever you do after this. I'm sure that brighter opportunities lay just over the next rise.
