I can't believe it's already been a whole year.
A whole year to realize that Freeride really was everything I'd ever hoped it would be.
Sure, it's not the perfect game. It has more than it's fair share of bugs.
But still, it's touched people beyond what I'd ever imagined possible.
Freeride had been in my heart for nearly a decade when it finally released. It's why I learned 3D art. It's why I learned programming. It's why I founded a studio. Despite and because of all that work, I am so proud of the game as it stands today, as a slice of my soul.
To the community which has sprung up around Freeride before and since launch, know that I appreciate you more than you can imagine. Your enthusiasm and creativity were and continue to be a huge motivator for me and the team. Freeride would never have become what it is without you. (Heck! Most of the characters are fan-made :P )
To my amazing teammates, I cherish you all so much. Your hard work and skill and dedication continue to amaze me. Getting to watch you learn and grow as artists every day is something I truly appreciate.
So thank you for an amazing year everyone, and here's to many more.
May you Solve your Unfinished Business,
-Rebecca
