Ready or Not News

[h3]Attention Officers![/h3]
Since the release of the Supporter branch, the Dev team has pushed over 500 internal fixes with all of the feedback we received from the Supporter Edition owners to bring the cleaned-up version of the update to everyone! With that being said we here at VOID Interactive are very excited to ship out the latest build of Ready or Not for all players!

To celebrate, we’ve also prepared a beautiful trailer showing off the tweaks to Barisa Cove, some beautiful shots of NEON, and even a special guest at the very end that some of you that are well versed in the tactical shooter genre may recognize.

[h2]Attention Officers,[/h2]
Welcome to the 33rd edition of our biweekly development update! Before we dive into this briefing, we want to let you know that Ready or Not is now available for 10% off during the length of the Steam Summer Sale, its first ever discount Be sure to tell your friends before you continue this briefing, where we’ll be taking the first ever look at Data Center, a new level still in its early stages of development.

[h2]An Endless Stream of Data[/h2]
Data Center sees the Los Suenos Police Department raiding the offices and server rooms of a shady tech company. The search for sensitive information related to an active case is a race against the clock, requiring the player to overcome a series of secured doors and on-site security guards.

Above: A very early look at the exterior and surroundings of the map, Data Center. Above: A collection of tens of thousands of files, all tucked away in the mountainside.

Data Center's interior combines a series of open spaces utilized by the staff, and claustrophobic, tight stacks of servers with little space to maneuver.


Above: Watch your fire. Those vending machines aren't cheap, you know.

Above: A state of the art kitchen. Only the finest for the company's employees.

Above: The amount of dirty secrets and dollar signs stored on these machines is staggering.

Above: Be careful. Everything in this room is valuable and delicate to boot.

While Data Center is still in the early gray box stages, there's a ton of depth already on display and much more to be added. Our level designers, artists, and story writers are all hard at work putting it together. We look forward to sharing more with you in the future!

[h2]Attention Officers[/h2]
We’re going to be bringing all of our Officers, both current and prospective, something that will hopefully be a quite pleasant surprise. We’re joining together with our friends at Valve to bring you a tidy 10% off sale on both of the Standard and Supporter Editions!

Update 6/18/22: Ready or Not is once again available on Steam. According to a tweet from Void Interactive, the developer removed Ready or Not due to a copyright claim regarding trademarked material in a nightclub level added on June 12, the sixth anniversary of the deadly mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. According to the developer's statement, it willingly removed the potentially copyright-infringing content from the game as a "show of good faith," rather than dispute the claim. The removal was not, as some speculated, any form of moderation by Steam or Void in response to the level's release on the mass shooting's anniversary...

Welcome to the 2nd in our series of monthly newsletters dedicated entirely to community creations and contributions to Ready or Not. This time we’ll be focusing on some pieces that didn’t make the cut for the Art Contest and those that came before and after!

Listed is no particular order, let us begin!

[h2]Community Spotlight – Art of the Month[/h2]

1.) Starting strong, we’ve got a fantastic pixel representation of Ready or Not’s arsenal brought to us by Hash. The high level of quality of these pieces would very much not be out of place in a pixelated Ready or Not!

2.) The next piece is one brought to us by Rennn, bringing to life the terror of being jumpped by a very well placed criminal and the following panic as the team struggles to reorganize and deal with the threat. Sadly this piece received a criminally low amount of votes due to its late entry.

3.) Finally we end with the highest scoring piece from the Art Contests public vote, presented to us by LesterDem. A piece parodying the iconic teaser image for the movie John Wick 2.



[h3]Editors Choice[/h3]

4.) Just after the contest I came across piece that’d be a shame not to share, we’ve got an image brought to us by Cannon Fodder who sadly missed the art contest's submission date. A humorous exchange between two ex Law Enforcement Officials.

[h2]Closing[/h2]

Thank you to everyone that participated in our first ever community art contest, and for the positive reception from everyone that voted and gave feedback. Without all of you such events would not be possible and we hope that it will be the first of many.
Going forward we can’t wait to see what else the community brings to the table as we continue on into the future.
