Raye was the former Head Developer on the Dovedale Staff team. Raye was hired on June 13th, 2023, and left the community on 16 April 2024. He was one of the first developers to join onto the development team.
He was known for causing chaos, which is the origin of the Raye Alert System and the Raye Alert sticker. Raye is also the founder of Rayes Transportation Services Limited, and maintained several locomotives. RAYE contributed many models and aspects of the game, including the viaduct near Dovedale Central, the old Lighthouse (Structure) model, and the entirety of Abermoore, and the Benyhone Loop extension.
Raye shared a range of sneak peeks of new areas coming to Dovedale in the future such as "Fisherman's halt" and "Abermoore" stations on the line past Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. These never came to light as he requested for them to be removed after his resignation.
Departure from community
"Ive taken this opportunity to resign from my position as Managing Director / Head Developer at dovedale. Why this choice? Personally for a while ive been struggling with the pressure of dovedale and the constantly growing playerbase."
Due to numerous community complaints from former staff members alledging RAYE of ignorance and admin abuse, a decision by Dovedale HR was made to removed from his rank of Head Developer and he was demoted to a developer role. On Raye resigned on 16 April 2024, citing personal reasons and his actions in the community. His resignation notice can be found here, among ones from other staff members.
He would later return to the server to respond to a few questions and demand assets to be removed.
