Good afternoon Astronauts!

We hope you have been taking care of yourselves in between your mission to the Moon.
Today we are celebrating the Steam launch of Close to The Sun from our friends at Storm in a Teacup!

If you haven't heard of the game, you can catch the launch trailer here:



As part of the celebration they are running a livestream over the course of the day on their Steam page, as well as offering 25% off the retail price for anyone that buys it over launch week!

As part of the Wired family (Like us!) there is also an extra 10% off on top if you own Deliver Us the Moon on Steam.

Whilst we prefer to keep our eyes to the stars instead of in the ocean (have you SEEN those angler fish?!) we wanted to make you aware of the bonus discount - if a steampunk thriller on a scientific ocean vessel sounds like something you might enjoy then it could be a nice vacation from zero gravity.

Stay safe, stay home, play games, and look after yourselves!

Hello, punishers,

Here is the list of cool improvements and fixes, which we prepared for our Update v0.110!

Combat Overhaul

• More engaging and thoughtful combat system.
  
• Better hit detection for both the player character and enemies.
  
• Better weapon handling and clearer feedback and a sense of direction.
  
• Distinct enemies. We were trying to make each enemy unique in combat style, thus the player needs a different strategy to deal with them.
  
• Better combination of enemy groups. For example spear-man and shield formation.
  
• Less clumsy succubus movement.
  
• Better balanced difficulty.
  
• Better balanced loot and growth curve.
  
• Better Enemy AI: For example, the skeleton archers will shoot at you once you are visible to them.

Mechanics Changes

• Added magical blockages to prevent the player from leaving the area before all enemies in the area are slaughtered.
  
• When a stage is cleared, you will get 30 seconds to pick the loot before the result statement appears.
  
• Removed the hell portal and placed unique enemies or bosses in the final room instead.
  
• Added deposit/withdraw function to the player's personal chest so you can store extra gold in it.

Improvements

• Easier to open chests and interact with furniture. You no longer need to look at an object in order to interact with it.
  
• Loot on the ground is marked with a special effect to make it more visible.
  
• Brief text tutorials to reduce the learning curve.
  
• Hold the bow and fire when releasing the mouse button.
  
• better aiming and view when using a bow.

Bug Fixes

• Options don't get saved sometimes.
  
• Some setting sliders are set to 0.
  
• Some sound effects are not affected by the settings.
  
• Floating blood decal.
  
• Friendly fire by the fireball magic.
  
• Some objects have no collider.
  
• Strange noise from the Fire Zombies.
  
• Some leggings and boots appear to be in the wrong category.
  
• Sometimes the underwear is still visible after you put on an armor.
  
• Cannot switch to windowed mode.

Here is the video with our improved combat:


Let us know your thoughts about this update in the comments below! ;)

We have deployed 1.04 update. The full game story is now available in English and Japanese. See below for details:

1.Optimized the dialogue in English and Japanese, and ending as well
2.Remade the dialogue bubbles to improve appearance
3.Fixed a bug in the practice mode to make sure all the options match the correspond stage

Please be advised that the translation is not complete yet. Due of technical issues, there are still translations to be deployed, like the names of spell cards and some Graphic UI.

Do you think English and Japanese support is all we've got? No, we have a bigger plan. The first draft of German translation is being proofread, the work on Polish translation is in progress (special thanks: Jan from Poland), and French translation is also being planned.

Since we lack the support of native speakers, we are looking for volunteers to improve our translation. You are also welcomed if you wish to add support to your language. Please contact: touhoueis@outlook.com

This is a refinements and fixes update with improvements for the base game and Royalty expansion. It should be compatible with all savegames and mods. This biggest changes will be tunings designed to move deep drilling from the lategame towards the midgame and make them more viable for marginal drilling projects. As always, everything is on the table for further adjustment as we go forward.

If you have a mod compatibility problem, you can use the Steam beta branch called 'previous' to go back to the previous build until issues get worked out. It would be great if you could tell us or the mod developer about the issue as well!

We're also working on some deeper gameplay improvements and content additions - look forward to those! However, for stability reasons those are being held back for now.

Thanks to all those who helped test on the official testing Discord server. Come join to test future releases!
