MCastle 1.0.1! Double update!

Moonlight Castle
A downloadable MCastle for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hello, everyone! We're back with the already announced double update I promised before the hiatus was announced. It brings the two missing routes (Liam and Russell) plus some new additions I'll explain down below.

  • At the beginning of the game, a small message appears to warn people who can be troubled by lights that it can be turned off and locked into a singular color. You will also find another tip about the unlock-able gallery. These go away rather quickly and hopefully won't ruin your immersion too much.
  • All menu CGIs available This one's pretty straightforward. We have all 7 now! Blake was missing and he's there too, feel free to give it a look!
  • The writing has been polished and improved all the way to N2. We've rephrased what was weird and removed what we considered unnecessary information. All D3s are still missing editing but we hope it's not too troublesome for you guys, I know it can be annoying, I hope you understand.
  • WE HAVE A NEW LOGO! YOU'LL SEE IT WHEN BOOTING UP THE GAME.
  • Liam D3 available! If someone wonders about the split, the answer is no. I'm keeping it vague so that not everyone understands :P
  • Russell D3 available! This route does bring both A and B side.

Plans for the future

The sprite rework
It started a month ago or so. We have all the main cast sketched and, right now, two of them have clothes. We're planning to have them all ready to go for the next update which I'll talk about soon. We're planning to leak one of them and keep the others on our Patreon for the nice people who have supported us until today. Which one tho? That's up to you. A new poll will show up later next week or so please vote who would you like to see first. I can tell you that their designs have GREATLY improved and they're all amazing.

Discord
We're planning to use our Discord server more cause if you already joined, you know it's empty, mostly me letting people know what's going on with the project whenever something worth mentioning shows up. You'll start seeing us hanging out in voice, feel free to come say hi!

Night 3
Night 3 is the next step in our journey. It's a very important, special night for us. It will bring a massive update. ALL 7 + SPRITE REWORK. That's the plan. It will take longer than usual so consider this another hiatus notice. We don't know how long it will take.

At best 2 months, at worst 3 or 4. Sorry for giving you guys such a heavy wait but we want to make sure the content we deliver is worth playing. I refuse to push more story without the proper art to match what we have in mind. We're excited to detach from our inspirations and make our content actually ours and showcase our style.

Make sure to vote in the new poll. I will posting it in another devlog next week!
