Ann news & patch notes

Happy First "Ann"iversary!!

Time sure flies by, it's been a full year since Ann was released and it was a great pleasure for me to see all the supports from the community for the past year. To commemorate this special occasion I am going to showcase more community highlights, discuss about hidden/secret game contents and some updates to play the game in other languages! ===============================================================

Game Contents & Secret Cutscenes

To those who wants to 100% the game, or just replay the game to experience more contents, there's an achievement guide made by an awesome member of the community, you can view the guide here: Click Here to view the Guide There is also a secret/hidden cutscenes that aren't tied to the achievements. Not many people have discovered them so I am here to give you guys some hints on how to access them; Before the Bad Ending 3 (The New Resident of The School Ending), you are given some time to explore the "Endless" Computer room before the screen fades to black, don't waste any time and quickly navigate down the room. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40092759/d229757320ac9b1e06d1daa5ef44f83701324382.png You will encounter a peculiar "Object" that looks just like any other objects in that room but looks slightly different, you will know when you see it. Interact with it and it will trigger a cutscene. There are 3 of them with 3 different cutscenes, have fun finding them! If you want more behind the scenes, or deleted endings / deleted contents-related stuff you can Purchase the DLC here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1581630/Ann__Digital_Artbook__Extra_Contents/ ===============================================================

When Ann was released last week I was really scared and nervous as it was my first attempt at releasing a fully-developed video game. I was scared that no one would play the game as the game is developed using RPG-Maker engine which doesn't really have many good reputation in today's gaming landscape. Many things came to my mind when I was about to push the "release" button. I just wanted to pay homage to the golden age of Horror RPG-Maker games in 2012. Fast forward 1 week later and here we are. I watched almost all gameplay videos that I can find on Youtube & Twitch and it has been a blast. Thank you everyone for the positive response of the game and thank you for playing the game! Words can't describe how happy I was when watching all your reactions towards the spooky sections and the true ending of the game! I love you all!! - Jason H. (Rong Rong) ==================================================================== That being said, I received some awesome fanarts from you guys and it made me really really really really happy! ːSaffronCryː ːSaffronCryː As I thought no one would actually go as far as to make fanarts for this game. But dang, yall mad lads actually made it, I have scoured the internet to find more but here are most artworks that I have found so far, enjoy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40092759/41156d6f4dbbcb57e12abc05b99186e73f2a8fd4.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40092759/a85a3600b7b3e8e192bbd28dd671974faf0454ad.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40092759/135c5a3c57182b9f46a213b8fdf07195fdd5d7b2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40092759/ebbe68580fd5a1400f730f06a516a06a2517751c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40092759/6795c9e302e4f13c88f14008228b47e0216bba56.gif (Mrmsfaded) Also there's one particular small Japanese Youtuber that I would like to highlight, He has a small channel but his reactions and gameplay is hilarious, visit him here if you guys are interested in showing support to our Japanese friend : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCduQrXOmh-b0EftHZGqYvUQ The most hilarious gameplay video of the game that I could find if you guys want to watch the game as a comedy instead of horror (Thank you Thaf9!) : Also, to whoever made this : ============================================= With that being said, if you guys want to send me your fanarts or video, please do tag it with #ann or tag me in my social media at Rong Rong or @rongrongarts (or discord, the link is at the game steam store description) I will do another community highlight in the future if I gathered enough arts to share. Thank you and see you next time!
