Oh My God Do People Here Like Toto’s Africa Ironically? But… I Genuinely Love It. Jt’s So Good.

thank you for all your hard work! have fun on your vacation!

It’s been fun...

Friday the 7th of May marked my 4.5 year anniversary at Star Stable, and my last day as an employee at Star Stable Entertainment.

Being with Star Stable, I’ve learned a lot about communication, project management, data analysis, and truly “grokking” your work, from tools, to colleagues, to end user (that’s you reading this, probably! Yes, you! You are awesome!)

It’s been quite a journey, and one that I’m glad to say that I’ve shared that journey with an awesome fanbase.

While this means I am not qualified to answer any questions on behalf of SSE anymore, I can say that I’ve grown fond of the entire world of Jorvik, so I’ll certainly be sticking around as a fan. Mostly to just make silly memes, or post theories without the fear that they will be regarded as canon.

I know that I’m leaving the future development in the game in some very capable hands, as several colleagues that I’ve worked with – including @Jorvegian-Chronicler – will carry the game forwards to greater heights. I’m proud of many of my contributions to the game, but not a single one of them have been accomplished alone. Game development is a complex effort, and the lone developer is almost entirely a myth.

Still, I am aware rumors tend to grow in communities when certain creators leave, partly because it’s easier to look for a simple reason to blame because structural issues are complex, and partly because when there isn’t enough information people tend to assume the worst. This one time, an animator announced that he quit, and we had to deal with people perpetrating the rumor that we didn’t have animators for years after that. (That was never true.) Problems tend to spawn from structural reasons rather than individuals.

Anyhow, that’s why I want to make it clear that while there has certainly been merited discourse towards SSE in the community lately, that is not why I am leaving. In January, Sumo Leamington approached me with an amazing job offer – something I cannot talk about due to NDAs - but just hearing about it made me realize how much I wanted to work on that project. A few months of interviews with Sumo proceeded to give me a great impression of the company and their culture, and when they confirmed that they would hire me if I was interested, I realized that this was the time to move on towards new adventures!

At the end of May, I’m incredibly excited to join Sumo Leamington, but for now I’m going on vacation for a bit.

This is Sorceress Feraly, hanging up my Game Master hat for now! Now to draw some Mayalex or something!

P.S. As things are usually worked on quite far ahead from reaching their release, the final things I have been working on have not been released yet and will not be for quite a while – so I’ll look forward to the future releases so I can talk about it.
