Greetings Rogues!
As this is our first time properly introducing ourselves, we’re Evil Mojo! Some of you may know us as the development team behind Paladins & Realm Royale, but many of you probably discovered us for the first time when it was shared that we had merged development responsibilities with our sister studio First Watch. We appreciate your patience while we have been going through the merging process and figuring out what the new combined studio will look like. It’s been quite an adjustment for us as we learn from some of the Rogue Company devs on the team, but it’s a challenge we took head on with the release of ViVi. We've been excited to see all the love for her & are honored we could bring First Watch's hard work on her into the spotlight.
We know some of you have been frustrated by a lack of communication since our arrival, so we want to share what's happening with Rogue Company. To address any immediate fears: We're still supporting and updating Rogue Company & will address key community issues that occur. We have people working on the game today as we speak. However, we're a small team with multiple projects, so there will naturally be changes from the traditional Rogue Company cadence you’ve had in the past. There will be slower updates, with more emphasis on balance and QoL, the first of which should arrive in the coming month. This leads into our general development goals for the game.
Our goals for Rogue Company are to maintain the current version of the game you all play, with no more sudden shifts or massive overhauls to the core systems. We know that the game has had plenty of large changes throughout its life, and every player has their favorite era. If you enjoy Rogue Company as it is today, it's going to stay that style of experience. We’re still dedicated to improving & preserving the integrity of the game, as well as keeping things fresh. We're aware that may be a bit of a bummer for some, but we want to be transparent about our focus on supporting the existing community and players. You all are what keep Rogue Company going with your passion, and it's our job to help ensure you can continue playing into the future. We still are cooking up some helpful balance changes headed to the sandbox, and a few small surprises up our sleeve for the future.
