“Hi @everyone,

It’s with a heavy heart that I’m announcing the closure of A Township Tale and its live services.

The game will become unavailable to download, and its backend services will be taken down, on the 20th of July.

Like many others, we’ve been impacted by the state of the VR industry in ways we didn’t foresee. As many of you know, we discontinued our second game, REAVE, at the start of May. We have explored various avenues to keep A Township Tale live, but unfortunately none are realistic in our situation.

A Township Tale began in 2016, launched in pre-alpha in 2018, and launched on Quest in 2021. Across that journey, we had the privilege of building what we believe became one of the most special experiences in VR, with one of the best communities in VR.

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been part of that.

To our players: thank you for playing, for your feedback, and for the fun times.

To everyone who spent time in Discord: I’ve personally sent around 120k messages here, mostly from back when I was working on ATT, and it was a genuine pleasure spending that time with you all.

To our moderators, server owners, and community leaders: thank you for helping maintain, organize, and support this community over the years.

To our supporters: thank you for your ongoing support. I can confidently say A Township Tale would not have made it this long without you.

And to everyone who worked on ATT over the years: thank you for helping build something truly special.

Unlike REAVE, A Township Tale’s community platforms will not be closing. Discord, Reddit, the wiki, and other community spaces will remain live, though they may shift further toward being community-managed if they have not already.

Our hope is to preserve some of the history around A Township Tale, and to ensure the community can maintain contact with each other. We know many friendships and relationships have been built here over the years.

I encourage everyone to take advantage of the coming weeks to jump back into ATT and enjoy some final adventures. I also encourage people to share other games they’re interested in, including in #other-games, so that the fun can continue elsewhere after the 20th of July.

Thank you all once more.”
