Welp, this is it. The last day here at Ensemble. All the paperwork has been turned in, the boxes packed, the goodbyes said.

It's been one hell of a run. I had more to do with some games (Age of Mythology) than others (Age of Empires III) but I love them all, and the teams that put them together.

I've been incredibly blessed to work not just at one or two world-class game studios but at three. The people at Ensemble were incredible -- talented, cooperative, and a family. I can't say enough good things about the people all throughout the studio but particularly those at the top: Tony Goodman, Harter Ryan, Patrick Hudson. Folks like that who can run a business but also genuinely care about the people that work for them are rare treasures indeed. I can't even begin to list all the awesome folks I worked with in almost a decade of time at Ensemble.

I'm not sure whether updates here will be more or less frequent once I'm unemployed. I hope that my next venture will give me a lot more freedom to talk about the "inside baseball" of game development, something I've always wanted to do on this blog but have been unable to for a variety of factors.

Stay tuned for the next chapter... I've still got a lot of games to make, one way or another.
