NINE MORE YEARS NINE MORE YEARS NINE MORE YEARS

fade rift has spoiled me. it is everything i want in a game! the way that this setting and the way we engage with it allows for characters to have real, meaningful stake and investment in what's happening - the choices that they make have meaning, the opinions that they hold have consequences, and the ripple effects of that are so interwoven. you can pluck a string and vibrate three others. the decisions and priorities of these characters have real influence and impact on the world around them! the structure of the game and its story and the way that we all work within it gives a depth that has been a rare gift to find in game spaces, and i love a lot the way past characters linger meaningfully in the narrative. that's so special.

i also love that it's not just the story that is impacted by the cast, but the way that our mods have pivoted and experimented and kept tabs on what works and what doesn't and when things need to shift; i think it's easy to view fade rift as old and set in its ways from the outside, but i think a huge element of our longevity is the way that the game has been constantly evolving for as long as its existed to reflect the needs and interests of the mods and the player base. it's one of the things i cite whenever i'm hyping us to new folks, and it's part of what i think makes it easier to feel that there's space for new folks. we didn't decide nine years ago what's what and fuck you if you weren't here for that. it is a living breathing game that grows!

i am grateful every day to everyone involved and mj and cass's leadership, cuz this is game was made for me drrrr drrr drrrr
