Hi everyone!
So, as the title of this topic implies, I'd like to announce my departure from YoYo Games as their technical writer. I've been working with them for the last 9 years and I'm honestly incredibly sad to be saying goodbye to everyone there... YYG been very much like a family to me, and I've loved every second of working for them, but I've reached a point in both my personal and professional life where I feel the need to move on and grow a bit more!
Where does this leave me in relation to the GMC? Well, I'll still be here as Admin, although I will no longer be able to perform certain duties like deleting accounts or changing user names, since that requires access to the user DB and - as I'll no longer be a YYG employee - that isn't permitted for data protection reasons. For those things please contact @rmanthorp or go through the YoYo Games contact form. Other than that, I'll still be using GameMaker (of course!) and I'll still be an active member of the community, helping out as much as possible and slapping wrists where necessary.
Thanks to everyone at YYG and I'll miss them all!
PS: You'll all need to file those typos in the manual through the bug reporting system instead of PMing me about them!
