According to their new corporate website, “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.” They launch the company with core values in mind. Important ideas like games are for everyone, strive to build community, putting their hearts in everything and having resilience will be at the forefront of everything they do.
“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,” the site continues.
