RYT 2.3

Its been toooo damn long

Sorry this took so long y'all, I really hope you enjoy it and I really hope it was worth the wait! This update WILL feel shorter if you don't play all the routes. . . all. . . six of them? What? Oh, I guess you'll see. But really! If you don't play through at least all 3 routes it will be much shorter! So please, give all the critters some love!

This update includes:

- 34k New words

- 7 New BGs (9 if you count recolors)

- 1 New CGs

Production Update 6/21/23

Busy busy busy (AGAIN)
Writing update:
Almost there! As of today I think I'm only going to add a few more pages to the script before I start editing and making finalized changes! I think its prettttyyyy good! Lots of time with each crew member, lots of time with a certain captain, and lots of fun! (Btw, this puts the script at like 35-37k words for the update, hope that's enough.)

Art update:
Captain done. . . again! I had to fix her sprite for some changes but it's all good no...

Production Update 5/21/23

Busy busy busy
Writing update:
So I've been busy still! Graduating hasn't really afforded me a ton more time, but I'm still making progress! The script for the new part is currently at 25k words which is great! But its not as much as I had hoped for today. There are a lot of important conversations I have to get right to make sure they hit correctly, and that requires time and help so it has been a bit of work. I hope its interesting enough, but this meeting is an important one so I wan...

Complete edit/Rhoun art update

Sorry its a day late!
https://mega.nz/folder/vjoGGLSY#q5sOyA1VYGCgW8zV7JBLmA

Really really busy here still, but I really want to get back to making things for y'all!
Here is the FULL edited story, from the beginning to the current end at the 2.2 update.
Its a bit shorter, but I think its better and I cut a lot of trim off.
Please let me know what you think!

I'm going to start working on 2.3 again...

An update on the twelfth?

Just a quick update on how things are going, and to show off the teaser for the new Rhoun redesign.
So I've been finishing my masters degree and have been really really REALLY busy so I'm going to try and for this month release the fully edited version of the current build. There will be no "new" content, but ALL old content will have edits, most minor, some a bit larger. The first 5k lines (up to day 3) are already in the last update so you can get an idea of how it will be changed. (A g...

Public Update/Patreon content thoughts

Hi all!
This is just a short update on the state of the VN as well as some rambling questions/ideas I had.

Update:
I'm going backwards a bit! I've been editing and revising the earlier parts of the VN to cut down on unnecessary bloat and repetitive parts. It's going well, and the first 5,000 lines are actually in the last update (2.2) if you want to go read them now!
The sprites need a slight reworking and I've started updating their outfits, if you want to see Rhoun's the ske...

Production Update 3/21/23

Editing editing editing
Writing update:
So, I've been busy, in more ways than I'd like. I've decided to go back and redo some of the existing assets and material in the VN to fit more in line with what I feel. I'm currently editing the script, along with some help, and trying to cut excess and repetitive lines. Progress has been good, and I think its worth the time to get everything up to a new standard. How long will it take? When can you read it? Well, right now! The first 5,000 lines...

Community Discord Test Launch!

I did it!
Well, with a lot of help hah
But I made a community discord if you want to join!
It is currently only open to patrons (both tiers!) but will go public when I feel I have a better understanding about running it

This link should work! Just follow the instructions and say hi!

Short Update

All the Background line work and coding is done!
All I have left to do is color/proofread everything and I can get the update out!
Thanks for sticking with me I hope it won't take too much longer

If you're worried about seeing too many bg's in these updates I'm still holding 4 back that you haven't seen haha don't worry too much

Prduction Update 2/21/23

No update today, sorry folks.

So, I couldn't quite get everything done, or at least even lined, so I will be delaying the update as voted by the poll. I've been really busy getting these all lined so I can color them at once. This update will have ELEVEN new BGs and CGs so I'm going to need a bit of time to finish all of them. I have two more already lined that I don't want to show off yet, as I have to keep some things a surprise for you guys!

Sorry if that's disappointing, I'm a...

Update Thoughts

Howdy all!
I made a tweet about this but I thought I'd extend it here as well
I'd really like to get the update out on the 21st for all of you but I am unsure if I will be able to get all the BGs and CGs done in time. I'd like to release it so the public viewers don't have to wait too long to read it either, as they have to wait an additional 2 weeks no matter what.
If I were to release it on the 21st I'd add the finale CG's as soon as they are finished, not when the public release ...

Production Update 1/21/23

Production and script update time!

Thank you all for the support and following me here and anywhere else that you might! It still means so much that people are enjoying my story and really want to see where it goes! 

Updates:
Script:
The script is currently at 25k words and is the majority of Day 9. Ideally I want to finish Day 9 and get decently through Day 10 in this update. The update right now focuses on working with Rhoun and seeing what the d...

Public launch of RYT 2.1

The public launch of update 2.1 is out now on itch.io. This new version has better grammar, a new song, and uses a new version of renpy. I would suggest updating to this version if you wish to create save files. The next update will also be on renpy 8.0.3 instead of 7.5.3.

I'd say its worth checking out for the new song alone though. If you want to skip right to it it plays during a certain scene with a security officer.

This build includes:

- 39k New Words

-2 New CG's

Thanks so much for all the support!

Due to an error, all save files on both PC (Windows, Linux and Mac) and Android from the previous version are broken. To go ba...

Some unused Rhoun sprites and the prototypes

Howdy! Since our lovable maintenance director is a bit absent from this update I thought now would be a good time to share some of his sprites! He doesn't have as many unused features as the rest since I implemented most of his arm poses and clothes but he does have some accessories I cut along with some facial possibilities. Also keeping with the trend of not liking the profile views I left it out of the game in favor of just having him look left/right.

Fun fact! Rhoun's in ...

Production update 11/21/22

Production and script update time!

First off, thank you to everyone whose either followed me or supported me or even just read the visual novel!

It really means a ton that people would give my work the time of day, and usually come out enjoying it as well!

Okay, updates.

The script for the beginning of part two is currently at 37k~ words consisting of two "days." The idea is to push for four "days" this update consisting of two days with Marrowyn ...

Background wips for part two

Minor spoilers in the third image

Some new backgrounds in development for ya!
A good amount of time will be spent in Doc's lab so I tried to make it super fun and interesting. Then what is this? A glimpse to the outside??? I hope the view is good.
And finally, what is Marruk doing anyways?"
Let me know whatcha think!
Tried some new lining techniques on Marruk. I think it looks pretty good!

Some more props and some of Marrowyn's unused sprites

This update is going to focus a lot on Doc so here are some Doc related sprites and props! Its a bit rough, I couldn't really finalize an idea for the needle as much as I would have like to have so this was the end result. Its not as pretty as I would have liked but I tried to keep in mind that it would normally have to work on patients that have a ton of fur so it would need to be long enough to reach down there. And the second prop is just Tucker's (mc) new shirt!

As for the sprites...

Some of the props/Marruk's unused clothes!

Hey y'all! Thanks for following!
Here are some of the props I didn't implement. Finding a way to display them in a way that didn't feel too intrusive felt weird. But I'm still happy to show them off! For the white board drawings I actually got a white board and tried to draw what Tucker would draw in less than a minute. They came out pretty bad! (Which is good!)

And then we have Marruk's sprites! I wanted him to have the holster and pistol but it clipped with his hand when he had...
