Some people will already be aware, but my dad has been battling lung cancer now for the last two-and-a-half years. My dad is still going strong--all things considered—but I want to focus my full time on family. Recoding Sable from the ground up is a massive undertaking, one which will require a huge commitment of time and resources, which for the foreseeable future I sadly don't feel I would be able to dedicate to such a project in order to truly do it justice. Even though I will be leaving Ebon Sky Studios, the rest of the team will be continuing to develop software, so this is definitely not the end for Ebon Sky Studios, just the end of my particular journey with the company. I know people may feel let down by me leaving, but hopefully people understand my reasons and the importance of family coming first. Even though I’m leaving I want to thank each and every member of the community for all the support and love you have all shown myself and Sable over the past couple of years. Your continued support and faith in the project has been what’s kept me going, often keeping me up until the early hours of the morning coding away. Sable was always a labour of love for me, although the current build of Sable had many shortcomings and as it was my first full coding project I made a lot of newbie coding mistakes. However, I learnt a lot and had fun writing Sable and getting to see the joy it brought to people that played around with it. Even though I’m stepping down, hopefully the fact we have decided to continue to allow access to Sable--even if only for private use--this means that people who have enjoyed playing around with Sable and building projects can continue to get enjoyment from the current build. The Ebon Sky Studios team will be making an official announcement in the coming days along with posting the promised download link for those interested in continuing to play around with the current build of Sable. Once again, I just want to thank everyone for their continued support over the past few years, I also wish Ebon Sky Studios all the best with any future ventures and have full faith in them continuing the development of Sable.
