Own a future piece of videogame history.
Part cultural journal, part development diary, part exclusive game reveal — the Anthology Volume One is a chronicle of the first year of Summer Eternal, as well as a map into the collective's future.
The Anthology is conceptualized as an innovative analogue reveal of our first RPG not via press release nor through social media, but through the medium of a beautifully illustrated, custom designed 500-page book and its accompanying vinyl record, both created and built by small worker-led teams of creatives, developers, artists and musicians.
Read about the politics and culture defining the current moment of the games industry.
The first half of the Anthology book features a collection of lushly designed non-fiction essays from Summer Eternal's contributors, including a detailed overview of our novel solutions for organizing a worker-owned creative team, and our experience with the economic realities of incorporating and organizing a worker co-operative in the European economic system. You can read more about the contents and our spectacular contributors in our first Anthology Production Update.
Featuring writing from our creatives Argo Tuulik and Dora Klindžić, organiser Aleksandar Gavrilović, sound designer and researcher Andrus Laansalu, and more. We will also bring you exclusive interviews with special guest contributors, revealed below:
The Anthology will take you on a 250-page deep-dive into Summer Eternal's first RPG project, codenamed:
Dive into exclusive Red Rooster development diaries and early concept materials.
Learn about the development of our first RPG the way it's meant to be experienced: through the tangible feeling of 250 pages of behind-the-scenes development diaries, visual concept art, pre-production materials, essays from discipline specialists, early build previews, and a 10" vinyl showcasing two original music tracks from artists Nemeček and Corvad.
You'll read essays on game direction, game design, prototyping, worldbuilding, narrative and sound design and get a deeper dive into the project than you can get through any other medium. Witness Red Rooster break through the egg-shell and gain an unembellished view of a new world spreading its wings.
Return to the physical medium.
In Summer Eternal, we believe ideas deserve a transmission medium more respectful than social media, press releases, phone screens, advert-riddled and pop-up infested web sites. We recall a time when we learned about our favourite worlds through games magazines and physical books. For the reveal of Red Rooster, we wanted to reignite that feeling, recapture your attention and spark your imagination, while still maintaining the shared simultaneity of experiences which is expected in our modern society.
Therefore, we undertook an ambitious logistical feat and organized a global Event. The Anthology shipped from October 2026 via the DHL SameDay service, aiming for a co-ordinated global reveal. The goal was for everyone who placed an early-bird pre-order to receive the book in the same 24-48 hour window -- wherever they are in the world -- and discover Project Red Rooster firsthand, together.
Supporters from 6 continents and 77 countries around the world participated in the co-ordinated global reveal of Red Rooster!
Hear the opening notes of our world on a limited edition Vinyl.
Hear the first four original tracks produced for the RPG world of Red Rooster by the award-winning hypnotic noise rock trio Nemeček, known for their great "Balkan wall of sound", and the dark industrial electronic music producer Corvad, as heard on the soundtrack of "The Batman" and "The Penguin". The tracks are created specifically for Red Rooster, to be revealed exclusively on the Vinyl.
The 10-inch Vinyl comes in a gatefold record sleeve with a golden "flint wheel" design and full-cover illustrations by the legendary Schmrgl, available only as part of the Deluxe Firestarter Bundle.
The Bundle also comes with a digital download key for the two new tracks, so that you can enjoy high quality music even without a record player.
Each Anthology Vinyl is ecologically conscious and one of a kind.
Due to the production process of the black and gold splatter, each individual Vinyl is completely unique. Our supplier is a European company committed to an "as green as possible" production process 100% powered by renewable energy, using the most eco-friendly granulates without heavy metals, and including carbon neutral transport to our distribution warehouse.
A single run of 3000 copies of the 10-inch 45 RPM Vinyl was printed and is exclusively sold with the Deluxe Firestarter Bundle. Each inner sleeve of the Vinyl is hand-numbered between 1 and 3000 with your unique number. Once it sells out, it will never come back again in this unique format.
Support the art of our incredible visual contributors.
To help us produce, design and distribute the Anthology, we've partnered up with Eryk Sawicki, the designer and founder behind boutique TTRPG retailer Peregrine Coast Press. Eryk created the graphic design and layouts for the book, and is handling order fulfillment.
To fill our pages with spectacular full-page art of the world of Project Red Rooster, we enlisted the help of a squadron of industry-renowned concept artists. In addition to concept artist and professional book illustrator Anastasiia Ivanova, the Anthology features full-page full-colour key art from:
Your money will go towards supporting small, independent and worker-led businesses.
The entire production of the Anthology involves small European businesses. Summer Eternal, operating across former Yugoslavia, is handling creative direction, production, content and artwork. Peregrine Coast Press in the United Kingdom is handling graphic design, layouts and overseeing printing and fulfillment. Books are printed by a small press in Lithuania. Vinyls were pressed by an eco-friendly manufacturer in the Netherlands.
Music and key art were commissioned directly from freelance artists at fair market rates. Additionally, freelance contributors are granted membership in one of the shareholding co-operatives of Summer Eternal, as we promised in our founding statement.
Orders are fulfilled by Peregrine Coast Press and ship to you from the United Kingdom.
