Effective July 1st, 2015 I will be stepping down as Shadowrun Missions Developer. Ray Rigel, the current head of the Shadowrun Demo Agent program, will be taking over. I will still be involved a bit in helping out with Missions, but Ray will be the guy handling things.
Unfortunately for the past two years I've had a number of health problems, and this has led to marked decrease in Missions productivity. I've struggled to try and compensate, but it just hasn't been working. I'm just not up to the task of managing the Missions line anymore. For that I apologize.
I'm incredibly proud of what we've built Missions up to. There have been some fantastic folks who came before me, starting up the program and building it first as simply a fan-driven promotion, and then as a company supported one. And I expect great things from Ray moving forward.
But mostly I want to thank all of you for your support for Missions over the last 5 years that I've been involved, and for the years prior to that. You're the reason any of us are doing that, and I've been completely blown away by how much Missions has grown and gained in popularity over the last few years. Thank you all, it's meant the world to me.
