Hey guys! Sorry about being hush about the development of this game. Usually we don't like to announce things that aren't ready until things are ACTUALLY set to go, but considering how anxious everyone is being we can let you guys know what's going on.
Steam currently isn't going to allow us to rollback the date algorithmically since we are already close to release, but we will be ready to go most defiantly next Friday on the 7th or 8th of October. There was still a few things need to be ironed localizing wise so we will be taking care of that in the mean time.
Thanks the the success of Midnight Castle and Tower and Sword, these devs form Japan have more confidence not only with us, but the potential that their products can do in the west. Unlike most people that handle a localization we try to also guide the game in a better direction and introduce new features in order to prepare for the audience here on Steam.
If we have the ability to make the game a bit better we will try to do so... while of course staying true to the original version. So what new shit is in store for the DX version? Well...
DX Version Features:
Uncensored!
Just like Midnight Castle this game is uncensored compared to the previous version. Not like Midnight Castle though, this game has animations like Tower and Sword! Since these scenes are animated it takes a bit of extra work to get these taken cared of, but the original creators understand how important that is for you guys.
As usual the Critical Bliss version will be the best version!
More H ANIMATED scenes!
While we do like to focus more on gameplay then other publishers even we felt that the H content was rather lacking in the original Dlsite version. We most defiantly felt like there wasn't enough and requested for more to be added.
Boss Rush
We attracted a lot of speed runners with Midnight Castle and thought be cool to implement a Boss Rush mode for those that like that kind of thing. You can access it once you completed your first rotation.
More playable characters
Castle has more cast members for you to play as. They also have their own hidden scenes as well in the game!
Original OST!
As usual since working with Libraheart and Pixel, Critical Bliss Sound team has provided a new musical experience. Again we feel this is appropriate instead of just having generic royalty free music. The Japanese devs feel like we breathe new life into their creation so we continue to work with them
This time for Castle in The Clouds we went for a more experimental take and decided to mix chiptune with real instruments to get an interesting sound for the game.
You can listen to an example here. This is the theme song for Lily!
So yeah... long story short we have been working with the dev on new features and more H scenes. we have big plans still in the future with these devs and its only thanks to you guys support them on steam. Now that they can feel confident about getting a good return expect bigger (and prettier) projects form them. This is just one step of many to that goal!
Edit: Oh and this one will also have a SFW version! For the people that care about that. :P
Thanks everyone for the support and just be a b BIT more patient. See ya soon.
