That is absolutely wild to think about! With the first commercial release ("ORION: Prelude") starting development back in 2009 and releasing in 2012. It's been a crazy adventure so far and it's brought me a lot of experience, learnings, opportunity, perspective and I am very appreciative for that. The good, the bad, the ugly; I've certainly seen and learned a lot, all of which compounds and culminates into what I want to do next. Secondly and very importantly; Hello. It's been some time.
