We'll hopefully get more definite news later this year.Īs the lead writer said on the RB Discord channel: For now, I'd call it development limbo or Hell. So is the game cancelled? Vaporware? Call it what you'd like. and start from scratch with the lore & world-building. But obviously this would be a major setback as they'd have to commission or acquire new art, music, etc. It would likely still be similar in many ways (turn-based party cRPG with 3.5e rules). If they are not able to get back the RB assets & IP from the auction, then they still hope to create a new game project with the RB engine. If it sells well, then they will probably make some more small modules, with the eventual goal of resuming work on the larger "Ashes of the Fallen" game as originally pitched. They will give the small module/s to RB backers and sell to anyone else interested. These would be standalone stories (similar to some of the premium Neverwinter Nights modules). If all goes well, the programmer and writer will resume work on the project with the new plan of first making smaller adventure modules that can be made in a relatively short time period with a small budget. The programmer personally owns the RB game engine so he will retain that no matter what.Īfter bankruptcy, the programmer and the lead writer plan to form a new company and attempt to buy the assets back with personal funds.

Since they cannot, Ceres is required to pay back what they've received. But they are expected to show progress and release a finished product. Why? The company received a portion of a government grant in 2019. Unfortunately as 50% owner they require his approval to sign with a publisher or make any business decisions (he could legally shut down any attempts to sell anything related to RB).Ĭeres is expected to go bankrupt very soon. This year he has been unresponsive when Hobgoblin42 the programmer (other 50% owner) contacted him with anything pertaining to the company.
