On Apr. 23, Rachel Bryk, 2-year developer of Dolphin, passed away.

Rachel focused primarily on creating the tools that enabled Tool-Assisted Speedruns/Superplays, which is a sorely underrepresented focus of emulation tools.

I believe cause of death is currently not public.

Source: Dolphin themselves

===

Really unfortunate to see anyone die, but especially a developer of maybe the best emulator out there, and someone who was clearly passionate about TASes, which is a rare breed of person indeed. I'll definitely miss her.

EDIT:

Tragic as this is, please refrain from openly speculating about the circumstances behind her passing. Unless there are confirmed news reports or information released by the family, we're presuming that it is private information and none of our business.

A horrible loss for the gaming community.

Holy crap, 23...

But she contributed to Dolphin which is probably more than I've contributed to society at this point in my life! So "the flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long" and all that...
