Retiring.txt

Hey, all --

I wanted to let you know that I'm planning on retiring from work in the public hacking scene.

Atmosphere (and my work on the Switch) have been an enormous labor of love for me for the past eight and a half years, and it's been an honor for me to dedicate so much of my life towards this kind of work.

That said, I am getting older. I find myself with less time to dedicate towards it, more responsibilities, and a changing personal life.

Particularly with my hoping to have kids in a foreseeable time horizon, I'm thinking I have to re-evaluate how much time I can spend on hobby projects.

I have the kind of personality that doesn't want to put in only a little work; I think that less-than-a-full retirement would likely lead to no actual changes in the time I put in.

I've truly appreciated getting to work with so many talented people (many of whom have been close friends for so many years), and I appreciate everyone's understanding as I try to transition to the next phase of my life.

With all my love,
SciresM

Thank you for everything you've done!

It’s hard to overstate how much you’ve done for the community over the last eight years. Atmosphere literally defined a generation of console hobbyism. Thank you for the countless hours of love you poured into this—you’ve earned a peaceful retirement and then some. Wishing you and your upcoming family nothing but the best for the future!

Thanks for all your work! Best of luck growing your fam :)

Good luck!
