Navigating a career change, especially one that aligns with your passions, is no small feat. For many, the dream involves leaving behind the humdrum of daily routines for a life where their true interests can flourish. Kiera, a remarkable contributor to the RPS team, is embarking on such a journey; she’s stepping away from her role to dive deeper into a world dominated by animals. This transition represents not just a career change, but a heartfelt pursuit of a lifelong dream—a theme that resonates with many who crave a more fulfilling existence.
Kiera joined the RPS guides team a little over a year ago, and from her initial days, she was thrown into the deep end—immersed in the highly competitive landscape of gaming guides. Starting with a grueling assignment on this year’s iteration of Call of Duty, she quickly established herself as a dedicated and skilled writer amidst a hurricane of new releases. This baptism by fire not only tested her resilience but also showcased her ability to rise to a challenge, evident from her contributions.
In record time, Kiera transitioned from a newcomer to a pivotal figure in RPS’s content strategy. Her standout achievement was undoubtedly the comprehensive guides she crafted for “Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.” These guides were striking for their clarity, depth, and user-friendliness. Anyone preparing for their own journey into Pandora would find Kiera’s insights invaluable—she made it feel as if she had been intimately familiar with the game for years, even though she had just begun her tenure.
Her impressive performance continued into the New Year, where she adeptly navigated the vastness of “Palworld.” The sheer quantity of guides she produced—detailing Pals of various elements, as well as exhaustive compendiums to find every type—was astounding. Such productivity necessitated innumerable hours of playtime, intensive research, and relentless attention to detail. Rather than letting the potential difficulties overwhelm her, Kiera’s work remained consistently high-quality, a testament to her work ethic and commitment to providing gamers with the most effective resource possible.
Kiera’s role extended beyond producing guides for new games; she also played an instrumental part in refreshing and updating existing content. Tasks ranged from refining guides for popular titles like “Starfield” to pinpointing improvements across a multitude of “Elden Ring” guides. This balancing act—juggling the demands of unprecedented new releases while ensuring past guides remained relevant—was no small challenge. Yet, amidst the whirlwind of 2024’s gaming sensations, Kiera delivered consistently outstanding work, illustrating an unwavering commitment to her craft.
Moreover, her creative flair wasn’t limited to the technicalities of gaming navigation. Kiera also delighted in producing engaging features that celebrated not just gameplay but the joy of gaming culture itself. She penned charming pieces on crafting a witchy retreat in “Tiny Glade” and attempted to capture the essence of “Stray” within “Lethal Company.” These articles revealed a different side of her talent—a passion for storytelling that enriched the RPS community.
As Kiera leaves for this grand new chapter in her life, there’s naturally a sense of change in the RPS ecosystem. With the ongoing influx of blockbuster titles like “Shadow of the Erdtree” and “Dragon Age: Veilguard,” one can only wonder how much richer RPS’s content could have been if she had decided to stay longer. The loss weighs heavily, but even amidst their disappointment, colleagues will cherish the great memories and enduring contributions Kiera leaves behind.
In closing, as she trades deadlines for doggos, we extend our warmest wishes to Kiera. While we joke that leaving the RPS treehouse marks the end of a collaborative journey, the door remains open, anticipating her return—preferably accompanied by updates on her adventures alongside furry friends and, of course, those intricately crafted miniatures. Farewell, Kiera; may your new journey brim with enrichment and excitement!
