Ray-Out Posted December 24, 2023 Author Posted December 24, 2023 I recently came across a good site for small money donations. Of course, you all have known it for a long time, but not me. Our $5,000 on Indigogo goal hasn't raised anything yet (thow upadates are regular upthere), but on this site we'll start small. Raise at least $100 for the release on Steam (+50 for the transfer commission and all that). Actually, today we are still working on polishing and translation for the demo version, but as you can see above, we managed to finish drawing two new wallpapers. There was also an idea to contact several YouTubers so that they would at least briefly mention our novel. Still, we have a lot of information on our website and we are open to any questions. Oh ane we almost have opening song... hehe) In general, here is a link to coffee and our website. We hope someone will throw in a pretty penny. Thank you for your attention! Cofffffyyyyyyyyyy Site Quote
Ray-Out Posted January 3, 2024 Author Posted January 3, 2024 Dev Update 000.42 Happy Holidays from Ray-Out Studio! Salute, guys! We are still here and still working! We just wanted to wish you long and happy holidays! Some news: We finally have a song for the in novel Intro! More precisely, it appeared before the holidays, but the singer is finalizing it, we are busy with the demo version, videos, translations and other fuss. Also, we recently found a note from Jeannette, but it turned out to be too negative for the New Year holidays, so if anyone is interested, it will be posted some time later. We'll try to keep you updated, but also give ourselves a little rest! Many thanks to everyone who supported and continues to support the development of the "Town" Visual Novel We are trying very hard to make a good and high-quality visual novel. As usual, we thank the resources that help with this in the form of Twitter, DevTalk Discord Server and the Fuwanovel Forum! Kosakyun 1 Quote
Ray-Out Posted January 11, 2024 Author Posted January 11, 2024 A small update on current work! - Firstly, we are still recovering from the holidays and part of our team is away. - Secondly, naturally we don’t sit idle. Therefore, I would like to say that we are preparing screenshots for the Vndb platform. - Thirdly, our current main task is to create an animated opening for which the song is already ready, most likely you will hear it closer to the demo version release, which is planned in spring of 2024. - Fourthly, today we came to a difficult decision: to make news on our website also in Russian. In order not to tell for a long time the course of our thoughts, we’ll just say that news will be published in English and Russian. It would not be fair not to provide news for those who are interested in our work in a language they understand. Therefore, from today, our website will have hashtag “UA”, which will allow you to sort news in a language accessible to the Slavs. Naturally, our main audience is America, and if possible, Japan. We really hope that we made this decision not in vain and that “Town” is still interesting to someone among the Slavs. - Fifthly, we are slowly returning to the main work with some new ideas. In particular, we decided that the notes from “Jannette” may not convey the desired atmosphere of the "Town" VN. To be more precise, the creative studio Rey-Out (the developers) does not consider it right to find notes from a dead girl to introduce the reader to a new interesting world. In the end, it was according to the results of social surveys that journalist Jeannette died. We are considering the idea of introducing a new character into the lore, who will be a kind of story collector and will become your guide to the town of Akunagi, as well as to our possible subsequent worlds...

Ray-Out Posted January 15, 2024 Author Posted January 15, 2024 Jeannette's last interview And here is the last note from Jannet that we found. Unfortunately, there is nowhere else to look for them, however, perhaps we can find of Leto, who, unlike the journalist, did not succumb to the influence of social surveys. Quote

Ray-Out Posted April 23, 2024 Author Posted April 23, 2024 (edited) As you know, our small studio is located in Ukraine. Therefore, we bring you unpleasant news. You've probably noticed that we post less and less often, and the reason for this is, of course, the military action right under our noses. Developing a novel in such conditions is difficult, to put it mildly. We don’t have enough hands, money and there is disunity among nations, plus recently another negative factor affected our work. The background artist refuses his obligations, communication with the editor is lost, and the director… the director has electricity 12 hours a day. The PR campaign didn't bear fruit… We hope that we will meet again, follow the news on VN on our website. Our work has been suspended; we definitely won’t be able to release the novel this year. Which is probably for the best, since the community is not too happy with what we show. Maybe the Demo will see this world but only if people try to put their guns down. P.S. Very ironic, given the plot of our novel and Leto's book, isn't it? Edited April 23, 2024 by Ray-Out Quote
