Today marks the unveiling of Rose Gauntlet Entertainment, a new game company and the brainchild of authors Isaac Vega and Lindsey Rode. Earlier in 2020 it was announced that Isaac Vega was leaving publisher Plaid Hat Games to pursue his ambition of collaborating with long-time friend and designer Lindsey Rode. The result is a publishing company which will focus on delivering engaging game experiences across the board. Rose Gauntlet Entertainment plans to make its market debut later this year with the Kickstarter launch of Keystone: North America, a “beautiful, easy to learn, brain burning strategy game designed by Jeffery Joyce and Isaac Vega. Players take on the role of a biologist and will work to build an interconnected ecosystem through careful placement of cards and mindful planning of actions.” which will feature solo play. The official press release follows:

“ROSE GAUNTLET ENTERTAINMENT

Isaac and Lindsey have been friends for what feels like forever, but is probably closer to 7 years. As their friendship evolved, they began dreaming of how great it would be to one day work together. The stars aligned and that dream grew into a reality in September of 2020. The vision behind Rose Gauntlet was created from two great needs they both felt were missing in their careers. The first need was to have complete freedom over their art, and to tell the stories that would reflect parts of who they were. The second need was to build a home for their community, that could foster a welcoming, engaging, and creative environment where people would be able to connect with others through a love of gaming. With Rose Gauntlet they hope to create a company that will build incredible worlds, tell lasting stories, welcome diverse communities, and give back to the next generation of gamers and creators. They already feel the dream coming true, and hope you will join them for this exciting new chapter in their lives!

OUR CORE VALUES

Games are for Everyone

We believe games are for everyone and that their greatest purpose is to bring people together. We aim to make our games an enjoyable experience that reflects the diverse community that plays them. 

Strive to Build Community

We believe that community is the beating heart that keeps our company thriving. We are dedicated to creating a place of respect where community can grow, to listen to the feedback of our fans, and to leave a lasting positive impact on our industry.

Our Hearts are In Our Stories

We believe that every game can tell a story, and within those stories we have a chance to reveal our hearts. We aim to only move forward with projects that embody a deeper meaning. Stories that say something about who we are, what we believe in, and serve as a moment to truly connect with our community.

Resilience

We believe in the resilience of ourselves and our team. When things go wrong, we don’t give up or waste our time with blame. Instead, we focus on the solution and never stop moving forward. We stand up for what we believe in, our community, and one another.”
