Quoted from iceman44:I'm sure Lyman put unbelievable pressure on himself to make each game better than the one before. He did an amazing job and commands the utmost respect from the entire hobby.
If he's on to a new challenge in life I wish him the best. "In Lyman we Trust".
Not sure there will ever be an equal talent rules/coder wise in pinball although Elwin/Neagle and team are kicking ass thus far.
It shows when he invests a lot of his own personal time into his games. I don't think you can down play the external pressure, though. Pinball fans can be extremely demanding for code updates and expectations for Lyman games are sky high. If he needs a break, he certainly deserves it without people hounding him. If he gets involved in another project, pretty sure we will hear about it soon enough.
