I wish you and your dad the best man. That's a really tough and
exhausting situation to deal with. I hope things turn out well! Family
always comes first, so take your time.

Hi everyone,
It is with an in credibly heavy heart that I have to make the
announcement that I will be stepping down as lead programmer for Ebon
Sky Studios, due to family issues. 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.
Paul Lemm
