We hope to have more news and updates for you soon! Thank you for your support!ġ2/27/20 11:01 PM PSTHi everyone! We've had a lot of feedback with the new updates and understand the new search engine, while improved in many places, is lacking in a few features the old engine used to have. To start with, he's going to focus on missing errata updates and a new FAQ section. To support the recent influx of new Pathfinders and Starfinders, he will be helping us with some much needed updates to the Pathfinder 1e side of the Archives. He has been playing TTRPGs for 25 years, and caught the Pathfinder volunteering bug when helping Owlcat Games with their Kingmaker booth at PAX. The big news I did have was to announce that we've brought on a new team member named Tim! Tim is a Canadian engineer and avid gamer who loves RPGs and spreadsheets. We don't have too much new for you with this post - we refreshed our database with a few bug fixes the team has checked in, but there's nothing too major to report. It is now working on Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, a turn-based RPG based on the famous Warhammer 40,000 universe.2/7/23 10:28 PM PSTHi everyone! I know it's been a while since I've checked in on this side of the Archives and I wanted to provide some updates.
The studio moved to the new office to work on its second project. As an independent company, Owlcat raised $1 million from GEM Capital and an undisclosed amount from MGVC, the investment arm of MY.GAMES.The team called this move a “mutually beneficial step, which will allow continuing to explore new business opportunities while maintaining focus on core competencies.” In 2019, Owlcat Games separated into an independent studio, with MY.GAMES remaining its strategic partner and investor.However, it eventually got a loyal fanbase and reached 1 million copies sold last year. At launch, the game received mixed reviews and was criticized for many technical and balancing issues. In 2017, the studio raised over $900k on Kickstarter for Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
The Owlcat Games team included many experienced developers who have worked on games like Allods Online, Silent Storm, and Skyforge.The studio was founded in 2016 as a subsidiary of MY.GAMES, the gaming division of Russian tech giant VK, which was recently sold for $642 million.Owlcat Games’ origins and relationship with MY.GAMES The studio also commented on whether it still receives royalty payments for Kingmaker, with Starrok saying, “ haven’t been since 2019.” So it appears that all of the game’s revenue goes to Owlcat’s former parent company MY.GAMES. “ doesn’t have that problem and here we are fully committed to it until it is in good shape.” “Rights remained with the parent company,” the message reads. Replying to one user’s complaint, community manager Starrok wrote that thes studio stopped updating Kingmaker because it “lost the ownership back in 2019 when we separated into an independent studio.” Owlcat Games recently opened up about it on its official Discord channel.
