Best of luck in all future endeavours Michael. Should we ever meet in real life, the first tall frosty beverage of your choice is on me.

Cheers.
 
Well, I have to say I'm gutted that FDev aren't working on a Thomas the Tank Engine Game, not even "soon" :(

And I guess the idea of Thargoids wielding battle axes just didn't float, ho hum. So who's the new lead producer and new member of the team?

Best of luck with the new project Michael, see you in Colonia ;)
 
If I may interject here, you're leaving at what is perhaps thee most monumental moment in fdev's development ..the sales are in the top ten across both consoles...the epic 2.4 update...The sales are rocketing. It must be a very very special project to entice you away..

Good luck Michael
 
Cheers, Michael. Thanks for all your work and dedication that you have put into my favourite game. All the very best for the future - and hope you keep in touch with the Elite community. :)
 

Sorry for posing off the topic, but I cannot write a personal message to you, Michael, and I can't figure out how to make a post on his profile as well. So I can only hope you will notice this message about an old game of yours, named Kinectimals.

Thing is, you've once shared several Kinectimals tags with the community in this thread:
(posts 11 and 12)

Can you, please, re-upload them if you still have these tags somewhere? It is not a great deal, since I still have those cubs in-game and can transfer them to other people via mobile game, but it would've been nice to have actual scan-tags for those cats - and I failed to save them back in the days.

Thanks.
 
Hi everyone,

I’ve worked at Frontier now for over 14 years, and in that time I’ve had the pleasure on working on a diverse range of projects. In fact of all the games we’ve released in that time there’s only three I’ve not worked on in some capacity! The most significant of which was Elite Dangerous. Since becoming involved in the Kickstarter, and the subsequent development it’s been a major factor not only in my professional life, but in my social one as well. As with any multi-project company people occasionally move between games, and it’s with great pleasure (and some sadness) that I can let you know that I’m moving onto the secret project we announced a few months ago. It’s a fantastic opportunity, and another game I’m proud to be involved with. While I will miss not being so closely involved in Elite, I’ll still be playing the game regularly and participating in the community where I can – I’m currently making my way to Colonia in my Imperial Courier :)

I should emphasise that this doesn’t affect Elite’s future. Development will continue with its large and active development team. The production team remains exactly the same with a new addition to the production team and they’re all a more than capable crew, and of course David remains a key decision maker for the game. I’m looking forward to 2.4’s release – there’s some very cool stuff in there! And that is nothing compared to what lies further in the future.

I’d also like to thank the community for your involvement. Since the game was first announced it’s been a pleasure to join you in a shared enthusiasm. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you in person, and it’s always a great feeling to appreciate the passion that you have for the game. I think the first Lavecon will always stand out as a key moment, but there have been many others since the game’s release, and it’s always great to see some of the things like epic rescues and community events that take place in our galaxy. I will be attending Lavecon again this year as a fan of Elite and to meet with old friends and the fantastic community. Naturally I’ll keep an eye on the forums and pop in from time to time!

So thanks to you all, and I may see you in the black...

Michael
I wish you were here. Too bad I'm a couple years too late, but rumors are around that...some people still miss you and your contributions to the lore.

Those we some really good years, from when I was first starting out in Elite: Dangerous, to getting very invested in the Brooks era lore.

I was going through a really terrible time when I met this game and its much wider history, and needed something to sink my teeth into and get the umpth to get invested in something other than my rough situation. Now I'm past all of that but, the 2015-2017 era of Elite really hits home for me. Especially now.

Thanks for being around and assisting with the Lore, Mr. Brooks o7 Good on ya
