Time for me to move on...

I'm leaving the Everybody Edits staff.

Two and a half years ago, I joined the team, and after playing this game for over 7 years, and seeing it go through the drama of 2017, it was a dream come true to be able to help revive the game and make cool new additions. We even started a reboot of the game, a new game that was meant to be more polished and go beyond what EE did, and to continue the game and community beyond the death of Flash in 2020.

I learned a lot in my time working on the game, about graphics and game design, and how to work with a team, among other things. I can definitely say this was the most impactful period of my life. Of course, there were plenty of negatives. From my procrastination habits pushing things close to deadlines and rushing late into the night, to conflicts between certain staff members, this job has had it's share of stress.

Up until recently, I never considered leaving the staff, but a couple of months ago I started thinking more about where I want to go in life. And eventually I came to the conclusion that I need to move on from this project. There are many reasons, including things such as the stress of drama in the community, the shame of failing to meet my responsibilities (or at least my expectations), differing mindsets and goals for the game, and even my current financial situation.

In the end, I hope that Everybody Edits leaves the legacy it deserves, and that the original game with all the worlds is playable in some fashion. I also hope that the reboot, Everybody Edits Universe, becomes successful one day. I have tried my best to help make that possible.

I still have a few things to wrap up in the next week or so and then I'll be officially departing the team, but obviously I'll still be a part of the community.

It's been an honor to work with the talented people that have contributed to the game in these past few years: Xenonetix, John, Priddle, EEJesse, Showpath, Gosha, LukeM, Cercul1, Minisaurus, Koya, Security-Drone, Kirby, Master1, RavaTroll, Tiralmo, Phinarose, Zoey2070, LRussell, Grandswordsman26, Darksaplep, Bud, Buzzerbee, Luridmetal35, NeonSynth, Diff, as well as, of course, my brother ByteArray. Even if I never really talked with some of you, I am proud to have worked alongside you all on this project.

I also appreciate the support and encouragement of the community, and of course all the supporters on the Patreon and through the game.

Time to move forward.

Thanks guys!

Re: Time for me to move on...

Kudos to both brothers for wrapping things up before they go. None of this ‘drop everything and run’ shambles.

We should thank you both for making a huge contribution to the development of this game. The game would not be at the current stage of prosper if not for your work.
I wish you, Kentiya and Criobite, success and achievement of goals.
