Ravager News

[p]Today's Ravager update completes our big art overhaul - with well over a thousand new, remastered, retouched, and regraded CGs. And we wanted to celebrate - so Ravager is now 25% off, for a limited time![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]There's no better time to grab your permanent copy.[/p]

[h3]Dev Notes[/h3]

• [p]This update completes the art overhaul that our last one started. Our graphics aren’t final quite yet, and some have been left aside pending remakes - but I am proud to have a cohesive “look” for our game at last.[/p]
• [p]While there are a couple of shiny new scenes in this update, I have been primarily focused on advancing the main plotline. This has gone very well! Next month, I hope to share the first part of Chapter Two’s conclusion with you all.[/p]
• [p]MVP of this build is Amon Ra, for his hard work on a huge number of animations, as well as all our shiny new branding.[/p]
• [p]And a special shout out to Mokkel, who has done so much for us as a sound engineer (and by training up his peers) for so many years. If you’d like to join his team as a volunteer voice cutter, see our announcement on our Discord.

[h3]Dev Notes[/h3]

• [p]It’s here, and it’s a chunky one! A brand new consort arc, and a major art overhaul.[/p]
• [p]Our Moon-Friendly Edition is about to be released! It is a non-explicit version of Ravager, and should be of interest to people who are concerned about (or affected by) censorship.[/p]
• [p]The once-only Dragonfire Sale is about to end - get your copy if you haven’t already! Get a copy for friends and loved ones. Fill the world with sticky, draconic love.[/p]
• [p]Now that Exo Spectra has almost finished work on our backgrounds and soundtrack (OST2 coming soon!), I have brought him on board to help perform colour grading. This has very quickly and very efficiently improved the quality of a huge amount of our older scene art.[/p]
• [p]But colour grading is not magic, and many of our pieces will need a supplemental once-over by our loyal scene artist Lubbio to bring them up to a contemporary standard. This will happen steadily, as our development pace allows. For now, we have focused on the simplest changes that make the biggest difference.[/p]
• [p]We now have a YouTube channel where you can watch our voice actors play video games (when they’re not recording).[/p]
• [p]MVP of this build is DoItToJulia, for penning an entire consort arc - and some extensions for Sabetha and Inej![/p]

[p]We don’t know quite how recent events will play out, but we do know one thing: that if you have a copy of Ravager, you’ll be able to keep it, all the way through to its final glorious iteration. So we’re launching an unprecedented half-price ‘dragonfire sale’! Ravager has never been this cheap before, and it probably will never be this cheap again.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]The dragonfire sale will last for two weeks, but don’t delay - the world is quickly turning. If you want to own a copy of Ravager, forever, now is the time.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Greetings from my increasingly-tropical island! I'm pleased to report that Malagar’s crystal stash continues to work its particular magic. There is a mountain of things to catch up on, but I’m in the process of doing exactly that. And one of those things is to have this conversation with you.[/p][p][/p][h3]The Monkey’s Paw[/h3][p]When I started Ravager’s development, the technological landscape looked rather different. Even when we arrived on Steam, AI was still mostly the province of science fiction. Now? Now it is impossible to look away from.[/p][p]It is a contentious topic - righteously and deservedly so. The default position for developers is to stay artfully quiet, and hope the whole thing blows over. But we're not a soulless corporation - we're a small gang of enthusiasts, who've carved out a niche making horny games about dragons. I think you should speak openly and plainly about what you believe, whenever you can. And I can, so I will.[/p][p]I believe that AI can be a great assistive tool when paired with human talent. It can help break through creative blocks, speed up tedious processes, and open doors for people who might otherwise struggle to realise their visions. That's the optimistic view, and I think there's truth in it.[/p][p]But let's not kid ourselves. AI is also being used to exploit and exclude human talent. It is drastically lowering the barriers to entry for game development, which sounds great (it is), until you realise we're heading for a kind of slopocalypse: a tsunami of cheaply produced mediocrity, poised to flood every platform. I suspect Steam's algorithms will shield you from the worst of its effects! But as creators, we need to plan for this impending reality.[/p][p][/p][h3]Our Stance[/h3][p]Ravager will continue to celebrate organic writing, art, voices, and code.[/p][p]I have no issue with a writer consulting AI for advice on a tricky plot point, or an artist using it to brainstorm potential compositions. That is clever tool use, and does not beggar anyone. But the content that actually features in our games will remain human-crafted.[/p][p]In line with this commitment, I'll be removing the placeholder machine translations from Ravager. If someone wants to mod them back in, that’s fine - but our support will focus on the excellent fanmade localisations that our community is in the process of creating.[/p][p]This policy will also extend to our next project, Permission To Dock. It uses some genuinely exciting new techniques and technologies that showcase exactly what coordinated human creativity can achieve. Permission To Dock is being prototyped as we speak, and I look forward to showing you what I mean once Ravager has reached its main release.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h3]The Road To Victory[/h3][p]‘Reaching main release’ is possibly the best mitigation against the coming slopocalypse - so that remains our primary and overriding priority. Health issues have slowed us down in the first half of this year (most especially mine!), but now we've regathered our momentum, and we’re working smarter than ever. And to avoid those agonising waits between major updates, we're portioning things up more sensibly:[/p]

• [p]Version 5.3: The conclusion of Chapter Two[/p]
• [p]Version 5.4: The beginning of Chapter Three[/p]
• [p]Version 5.5: The conclusion of Chapter Three - and our full release![/p]

[p]We will continue with our monthly updates throughout - and if we hit any further blockers, we’ll slice up our to-dos around them. Bonus endings and character epilogues will arrive after 5.5 as a free update (because you all deserve it), while any further expansions will follow as DLC.[/p][p][/p][h3]Horde Morale[/h3][p]Another defence against mediocrity is consolidating excellence. As talent gets shaken up by the twisting landscape, I want to link arms with them. We are looking for short collaborations with established creators of all kinds - developers from around the world, artists and animators who haven't touched games yet, writers with fresh perspectives, you name it. We’ll pair them with our resources, our audience, and our perverse sense of mission, and we’ll see what magic emerges.[/p][p]If you're one such established creator, and this sounds like your cup of tea, drop me a line on Discord![/p][p][/p][h3]Keeping One Eye Open[/h3][p]All that having been said, it would be folly to tie ourselves completely to one approach when the world is shifting so rapidly beneath our feet. So I'm keeping an open mind about allowing some short-form experiments in future, where team members could create small projects with the assistance of AI.[/p][p]If successful, such experiments could give voice to game ideas that would otherwise never see daylight, as well as help fund our main projects. However - and this is crucial - we will never use our team's contributions to train AI without their consent, and we forbid others from doing so. If a teammember’s artistic DNA ends up in a project then they'll be properly compensated, by prior agreement on their terms.[/p][p]I know this position won't please everyone. Some will think we're being too permissive, others that we're being too restrictive. But I believe it is fair, it is right, and it positions us to navigate the coming storms whilst holding fast to what matters most.[/p][p][/p][h3]Back to Work[/h3][p]That's quite enough pontificating from me. Time to get my head out of the clouds, and back down into the code where it belongs. Look forward to a bumper-sized update towards the end of this month - we've got a proper feast prepared for you![/p][p][/p][p]All the best,[/p][p]4MinuteWarning
(and the gang)[/p][p]
