Sounds like every new person they brought on after celeste left too. Total company implosion.

>Earlier this year, a fracture began forming in the team. Specifically, this was between us (Noel & I) and Pedro, a founding member of EXOK, longtime friend & collaborator, and art director of Earthblade and pixel/ui artist on Celeste and TowerFall. The conflict centered around a disagreement about the IP rights of Celeste, which we won't be detailing publicly - this was obviously a very difficult and heartbreaking process. We eventually reached a resolution, but both parties also agreed in the end that we should go our separate ways.
>be indie dev to avoid having to deal with publisher bullshit
>still fight over IP ownership among three people
KWAB, but also that's sad.

Friendly reminder that you ALWAYS should make 100% foolproof contracts about dividends and IP rights, even if you are making a game or any other creative product with a good friend.
LMFAO (the band) also imploded because it was a nephew/uncle duo where they made a contract about it because they were related and in good terms, and the uncle ended up screwing the nephew over in the end.

I'd say ESPECIALLY if it's a friend or relative. You absolutely do not want money drama fucking up your relationship.
Though in this case it seems that a combo of the aforementioned money drama plus development hell led to the project eventually getting canned.

They had a rights dispute, so the dude who left might have taken copyrights with him.

It's always sad and disappointing when money comes between friends and family. It doesn't even have to be lucrative IP rights; even a relatively meager inheritance dispute can split families.
