Welcome to Rue Rogue!

To all our fellow rogues or rogue-curious, welcome to the rogues’ den of the Rue Rogue Creative Collective. Rue Rogue is a member-based collective organization dedicated to fostering a creative community and exploring the artistry and the unknown in the interactive media landscape. This post will help better acquaint yourself with the collective.

What is a collective?

A collective is an organizational form where the members collectively make decisions in a democratic system. In this way, the members ultimately control the direction of the company, functioning similarly to shareholders in a corporation. Unlike a corporation, the structure is flat with no bosses or expected return for investors – unless the members decide to elect these positions. You can read more details about the structure of our collective here: The Collective.

Why a collective?

It is true that creating a collective adds some new challenges to overcome. However, we strongly believe that collective organizations, especially in creative fields, are the right direction for the future. It is a model that trusts the people who are most passionate about the creation get to make their own decisions – right or wrong – for their creative output. It also ensures that all members have a voice and stake in the organization.

What is the goal of Rue Rogue?

The main goal of Rue Rogue CC is to provide a space for creators to have both freedom and support in their pursuit of artistry within the interactive space. The collective aims to provide opportunities for members to explore and grow their artistry and craft through various initiatives. Ultimately, the collective hopes to expand the scope and possibilities within the interactive space.

What kind of projects?

As a collective, this is ultimately a decision made by the members. While members are free to work on their own projects independently of the collective, for works done under the collective we will aim for more collaborative projects. Regardless, we aim towards more artistic, experimental, and novel endeavors within games, narratives, and other interactive mediums. For a list of projects done or promoted by the collective, please check out: Projects.

Who are the members of Rue Rogue?

Rue Rogue CC is an ever-changing and evolving organization that is made possible through the cooperation of its members. The collective seeks diverse and talented folks from different backgrounds, countries, disciplines, and skill sets. Each member brings something exciting and unique to the collective! For a list of currently active members and past members of the collective, check out The Rogues’ Gallery.

Can I join the collective?

We are excited to welcome new voices to the collective, however, we also need to ensure the right members are joining. In general, we are looking for those who have reached a professional, ‘working’ stage of life and have at least one valuable skill they can contribute. If you are interested in joining, please be on the lookout for our open application windows, see The Collective.

Can I get involved with the collective without being a member?

Of course! We welcome all in our extended community and value your input and support. The absolute best way you can support us is by playing and promoting our projects. In the future, we may offer more direct means of support such as Patreon. For now, follow us for announcements on other ways you may be able to help.

Are you looking for investors?

Direct investment becomes a bit tricky with a collective structure, in part due to a lower emphasis on profits. However, we genuinely appreciate any financial support we can receive and are open to discussions about investments, publishers, sponsorships, or even collaborations with other organizations. Please message us at info@ruerogue.com if you are interested in working with us!
