Hey everyone,

I have been a part of the team since September, 2015, but Friday next week (15th) will be my last with Amplitude Studios. It's been quite a ride to have been by your side for so long, and I've made some great memories! Here are a few that spring to mind:

• I met Ampli at Gamescom 2013. I gave Lt Miles all my suggestion about Endless Space, and he dutifuly noted them all down (I don't think he implemented them, grr!)
• I had barely been with Amplitude a month when I went to Paris Games Week to demonstrate DotE Xbox, and I ended up shaking heads with a bunch of politicians coming to "check out what this vidyagams thing is" ahead of the elections
• Many, many streams, some good, some... perfectible, but hopefully, all entertaining to watch. There were times we weren't even late
• So many G2G votes, including the worst of all, that resulted in the creation of the Eyders, a faction that was supposed to live off a symbiotic relation with the sun, but were also flying dragons who dug around for relics? The results are still cool so I ain't even mad
• An armful of Beer2Gethers and other parties with some of you. I'm sorry to say I never got to meet DevilDog, despite our many attempts at making our respective schedules work
• Some very cool forays into cosplay. Never was able to make a big Endless cosplay event take off, but maybe it'll happen one day anyway?
• Managed to get a VIP hired! Very happy about Cat being on the team
• The Gamescom reveal of Humankind, with so many presentations that by the end we were just coming up with jokes and interesting things to say to visitors, in a stream-of-consciousness manner that apparently amused many
• Finally perhaps the biggest project I undertook, Love Thyself, born out of a throwaway joke, and that you guys, in a way, made happen, through constant references and much memeing.

I'm still around for a week, and although I'll not be tagged as a dev anymore, I'll probably still hang around the Discord, so if you wanna say hi or bye you're more than welcome to. 

Here are a few memories, in pictures.

First B2G, 2015

I'm in the top left in this picture from our ski seminar, trying to catch up on Kaboomer:

Our Target Locked stream:

Some Vaulter warrior I used to know:

With Bec0mm, who handled most stream's tech stuff:

(no photoshopperino, that'd be awful. Please. I beg you)

If you have cool photos or memories of our times together, please do share!

Take care,

Frog

We've only just become acquainted, but I bid you fair fortunes in your future endeavors!

Hi or bye

I don't think I interacted much with Amp before you were here, it will feel odd without you.
Hope your off to potentially greener pastures.

And most inportanly, don't forget your towel

It's been awesome! I haven't been around the community for very long, but it'll be lonely with you!

Frogsquadron I wish you well and  follow the 42 wherever it will lead you. Don't get caught in a swamp of sadness, find a lucky dragon in your way.

Best wishes.

Aww, sad to see you go but hoping all the best for you. Thank you for making Horatioful Boyfriend happen first :P

I think it is save to say: It won t be the same without you!

Don t forget to take a towel with you, and all the luck for your endevours!

You were a super boss at your job here and it was always a pleasure to read you and discuss with you !

You should post your twitter account here for people who want to follow you, it is a fun one ! 

I wish you the best for your continuation !

For a person like me, who has very limited knowledge in how Amplitude Studios works, you have been the face of the Amplitude. It would be quite weird to see a forum or livestream without you. I really want to say thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the community (and Love Thyself).

I wish all the best for you. Goodbye!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'm not dead just yet but these sure are melting my heart.

Here's my Twitter account for those of you who may find it interesting: https://twitter.com/frogsquadron I tweet altogether too much.

Really sorry to see you go Frog.  Hope you find success in whatever your next endeavor ends up being.

It's been fun!

Oh no! Who will tell me about sweaty germans on the next B2G? Good luck in your future endeavours!

Moved this thread over to the public forums.

I wish you luck, it won't be the same without you!

Awww man. It surely won't be the same without you. Take care and good luck in your endeavours!

Thanks folks, it's been a blast. Be kind with Rogan and Cat, and I'll see you all when Humankind comes out (or at the next B2G!).

Frog out.

We'lll miss you. I hope you good luck in yoyr new projects!

I salute you, and thanks for possibly reading my disjointed lore post(s)!

Good luck with your future endeavours! Wish you all the best
