    wiki/Rebecca_Heineman

    A real gut punch earlier today when she messaged me: ‘We have gone on so many adventures together! But, into the great unknown! I go first!!!’"

    Rip.

    Her spouse wiki/Jennell_Jaquays passed away last year, she also contributed to some major games I enjoyed very much.

    Ty <3

    Feels weird upvoting this. I assure you I’m upvoting as a sign of respect to the woman, and not as some way to approve of her death. Which is very sad.

      An upvote is to spread awareness. It doesn’t necessarily mean you like the message.

    What a shame.

    Their work on the Doom port to 3DO was an absolutely olympic task. It was a shame following the rapid downward spiral of their health on Bluesky.

    Her last post on her crowdfunder was a kick right in the feels too:

    “…So I can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my one true love, Jennell Jaquays.”

    Rest well.
