We're excited to announce that our most recent addition to the Grinding Gear Games team is someone you're already familiar with. The developer who goes by Openarl has joined our ranks as a gameplay programmer! While Path of Building won't become an official app, we wanted to let the community know what to expect.

For those of you who are out of the loop, Path of Building is an offline build planner for Path of Exile. You can plan your builds on the passive tree and view your potential stats. These build plans can be shared to other players.

Outside of work hours, Openarl is planning to continue working on Path of Building. It won't become an official Path of Exile project at this stage but Openarl's inside knowledge of the company can certainly help to provide more stats and information to the community.

We're also very excited to be introducing a new developer who already has intimate knowledge of Path of Exile. Welcome to the team, Openarl!
