Hey everyone, just wanted to pop on and reiterate what was said in the article here.
Jeff will be missed, and while I’m sad to see a friend go, I will always encourage someone to follow their passion. Jeff was given an opportunity to lead a large project with Skydance entertainment, on a particular IP that had always been close to his heart, and was also in VR, another passion of his.
I know what it means to follow your passion... that’s how and why I started Intrepid, and began building Ashes. The team has grown considerably and will be growing to over 150 developers before the end of the year. And the team and I are grateful for the time and hard work Jeff put into Ashes. I know how hard it was for him to make this decision, and say goodbye to friends and family here. But ultimately I know what weighed most for him was knowing that the project is in a great place on the eve of our major Alpha One milestone and that we will carry forward with the amazing team of dedicated developers we’ve assembled.
I will be making an announcement in the near future about Jeff’s replacement, but for now I really want the focus to be on wishing him well and thanking him for the hard work he did on Ashes 👍
I know that Reddit has a reputation of going towards the negative. But at the end of the day, please try to remember we are real people behind a screen, working tirelessly to make a game in the genre we desperately love. And nothing will stop us from doing just that ;)
