Staff Changes
Posted by Apostate on 07/11/22
So I've been touched by how many people have asked if I was okay or reached out when they noticed I haven't been around much lately, but I do want to reassure people that I'm okay. There are some changes that have been coming for a while and I think they'll be positive. When Tehom and I created Arx together, he decided to self-teach himself python because it could also help him get a coding job, while I focused on story and building the world. Both of those things went great, but Tehom's career as a coder has really taken off, and he honestly just doesn't have time to dedicate to Arx really. I always intended to code myself and follow that same route, and there's a million and one things I've wanted to add to Arx since the start that I think people would really love, and make the game richer and more immersive. But that does mean I have significantly less time for the day to day, and the last few months Herja has pretty seamlessly stepped up both in policy calls and running things like Bastion, and helping players with issues. I'm going to be stepping back from head staffing actively and focusing on coding, though I'll still be around (more often than I have been lately) to answer questions, help GM, and run some stories. Herja will be the head staffer handling most of the day to day issues as she's done for the past few months, and has done very well at that, and I'm confident will continue to do great.
