I've received a few inquiries about the status of our recent Visual Novel project: The Ritual, which debuted last year in both demo form, and a Chapter 1 release. Obviously, we've been radio silent on the project since release, and I want to take a moment to address that...
Due to mostly monetary difficulties, I've had to temporarily shelve the project, which was unfortunate, considering it'd just gotten off the ground, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Time that would've normally been spent on asset building and coding instead went to doing freelance commissions for my backlogged client list. While I'm eternally grateful to the people who've been supporting me for over a decade at this point, I would definitely like to get back into working on this project.
Fortunately, I think we've finally jumped the hurdle, and are in a better spot, financially speaking. I can't say for sure if it'll be this month, but I'm hoping to get back into work on the game by at least March. We should definitely have at least a few game updates for you by then!
Thanks everyone who helped support the VN project thus far, and thanks to everyone who continues to support all our endeavors! I hope to have more to share with you real soon! Cheers for now!
