I am pleased to announce that we are going to have some updates to our GameMaster Program. For a long time, the role I formerly held as APM never truly was replaced. This was mostly from 2014 to 2016, but I carried the role until 2022 on top of the PM role I held. We had a restructure around this time with how the teams are lead by an APM. One of those teams were meant to mirror a lot of the former Wyrom role through the Production team. We have since moved to having a lot of the production projects be taken on by the GameMasters as a whole, as just single GMs over large areas is a bit much. A good example would be our Platinum migration that had a dozen GMs from all the team working toward the Production team goals. We are going to continue this approach and retire our Production team as a siloed effort. I’m excited about what we can accomplish with our subscription tiers with this restructuring.
Moving forward, Tivvy will be joining me more on the operations side and be filling in that old Wyrom role. This will allow me to have a better focus. Tivvy has already been doing a lot of this given her team oversight, but her focus can be less diverted with this update to the teams. I will still be here as Wyrom, but I can get back into the bigger picture tasks and clearing out some of my own personal backlog of projects.
