After almost two decades at DICE and Electronic Arts, I have decided to move on and embark on my next journey. As excited as I am about the future, I must allow myself to be nostalgic: these have been incredible years. I’ve experienced and learnt so much, and I’ve worked with extraordinarily talented people, many of whom I will consider lifelong friends. During my many years of making games, our industry has grown from relative obscurity to a massive global phenomenon that engages billions of people around the world every day. What blows my mind is that we’re only in the beginning. The speed at which technology advances, the advent of streaming, deep learning, cloud computing and the emergence of completely new gaming platforms will reshape this industry from the ground up in the next few years. While I’m not yet ready to spill the beans on what’s next for me, rest assured that I’m not done with gaming. I owe a debt of gratitude to a whole bunch of you, but a special shout-out to Andrew and all the amazing people at Electronic Arts for an incredible ride.

Thanks for the hard work you have put in, inspiring and challenging us for such a long time. Thanks for developing a game which made me want to become a developer.

Hours of my life were dedicated to playing Battlefield titles in PC cafes and with friends at home. These are memories I'll never forget and inspired me to work at EA. Thank you for your leadership and best of luck to you on your next journey.

Embark is celebrating three years! So what have we accomplished? We’ve grown to more than 250 game makers, we’ve got big plans for the future, and a few projects we are just itching to share. To celebrate, we thought we’d share a glimpse of *another* unannounced game currently in the works. 🎂

We are doing some mind bending stuff at Embark! Meet Wasabi. A machine-taught AI-agent that learned to walk and react to its surroundings on its own -- completely transforming our view on game animation in the process. https://t.co/XhdLTpHKcu

Check out our very latest environment test in Unreal Engine 4. In this test we aimed to reach high visual fidelity on the small- to mid-scale. All the assets are the result of a week-long photogrammetry trip to Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. https://lnkd.in/dR8V6dy #unrealengine4 #environment
