- Reintroducing - The Sprites! - 15 January 2025
Cute lil guys turned studio mascots turned in-game helpers, we introduced them as The Blobs but they're now known as Sprites! Let us know who your favorite is in the comments! The Blobs Sprites I'm in charge here so I'm posting my favorite lil guy first - the Earth Sprite! A reliable, down to earth kind of Sprite, they're likely to be found nestling in a pothole in the road or in an empty space of a brick wall. Or in this case, hangin' out in Brolly's satchel! 🪨 We've made the Sprites super expressive, so they will often share the same mood as the people they've chosen to follow. Fire Sprites are full of compassion and warmth, and are sometimes known to sleep inside of street lamps to light up the city. We like their spark! 🔥 Chrys is the Guild Hall receptionist in Merchants of Rosewall, as well as the mascot for the game! She shares all the hot goss with her Sprite. The sweet, bouncy…

- It's Time - 5 March 2024
It’s a strange time to be making video games. From before establishing Big Blue Sky Games through putting the final touches on Merchants of Rosewall, we were waking up to seemingly endless news of layoffs and studio closures. We had this mission to do things differently - to attract and retain a diverse group of people and help them grow as developers. We’re still on that mission, but it feels even more important than it did short years ago. So off we went: dangerous business, out your door, and so on. We assembled a crew that was both deeply talented and simultaneously taking their first run at this - at the notion we could build games in an ever-so-slightly different fashion. We did the research, found something we thought we could put a fresh spin on, and poured soul into it. Merchants of Rosewall is a postcard to ourselves. It’s places we’ve been; people we’ve known; stories we’ve h…
