Welcome Rogues! A lot has happened in these last couple months and it is time for a seasonal update. Before diving in, a BIG THANK YOU for all the curiosity and support given to the collective during this time. Be sure to follow us if you want to keep up with Rue Rogue and out development. And now, off to the announcements!
Baum & Lark Cancelled
First off, we unfortunately need to announce the cancellation of Baum & Lark. While the reception to the game was overall positive, after some reflection it was determined that a number of design changes were needed to match the game to the intended vision. These changes and the overall scope of the project are beyond the current capacity and resources available to the collective. Thus, the decision to put the project on hold.
We would love to continue the adventures of Baum & Lark in the future as we really love these characters and world. For the fans, feel free to reach out with your questions and support.
Celes.Tea Departure
With the cancellation of Baum & Lark, Celes.Tea has decided to move on from direct work within the collective. Her wonderful art and input will be missed but we wish her all the best on her continued future in the games industry!
A Pause on the Collective
As the collective is now a single member – me K.Star – the bigger vision of the creative collective is currently on hold. This means that active growing of the collective and effort to achieve the mission is paused while we focus on stabilization.
This doesn’t mean the end of Rue Rogue Creative Collective. We remain open to collaboration with other creators and other project opportunities. Rather this is more of a redirection of our focus to better achieve the goals established for the collective. Please have patience with us during this phase as we work through some of the kinks in our plan.
What’s Next?
The main goal of the collective is to establish ourselves and our members as fixtures within the arts and games community. However, too much of our vision was conceptual, very much against the philosophy of ‘show don’t tell’. This made communication about the vision of the collective challenging.
So, what’s next then? The immediate goal is to create a series of smaller projects to help promote the collective. We hope these projects can help convey the vision of the collective and grow interest in our overall work. If you are interested in collaborating, please reach out as we would love to have the opportunity to work with others in the field.
