Hi everyone! I had a nice surprise this week, as the first PC build of a second Japanese Dungeon Crawler arrived in the Ghostlight offices this week, which suggests that 2018 could be a really good year for any of you who are looking for some excellent Japanese examples of the genre on your PC. (From our side, Al is particularly pleased to have a chance to dig into both games.)
In even better news, this time the first PC build included walls and a floor :) although there is currently an issue with the tutorial, which given my poor skills at dungeon crawlers is a bit awkward for me.
I'm personally having a hard time picking a favourite between the two games that we're working on right now: they both feel quite unique in their own way, but I'm definitely enjoying them for different reasons so I can't wait to be able to tell you more about them. Speaking of which, I've been told that we're expecting to be able to announce one of the two very soon, so keep your eyes on the blog for more information as soon as I'm allowed to share it! :)
In other news, it's taken a while, but I have finally managed to put some of the photos from my trip to Japan online, so if you'd like to check them out then take a look at this album.
That’s all for now. I’ll be back soon with more news from Ghostlight, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight.

Hello everyone from a very snowy and picturesque England!
While the heavy and unexpected snowfall might be keeping me stuck at home this week, fortunately it can't keep this week's Ghostlight blog from making its way out into the world. (For those of you who live in snowier parts of the world, I'm aware that it doesn't take much snow to shut the entire South East of England down!)
Nor was the snow enough to prevent the latest build of our upcoming, and as yet unannounced, Japanese dungeon crawler from getting through to me. This one was definitely well worth the wait. While I was already enjoying playing through earlier builds of the game, having both the walls and floor invisible in many dungeons (and having to navigate entirely via the mini map) was a bit of a pain. So, I was very pleased that when I entered a dungeon in the latest build, I immediately saw that both walls and floor are now featured in all their upscaled glory! Well done team!
In addition, an almost equally annoying bug where the sound effects were mixed up (leading to the victory fanfare playing EVERY-SINGLE-TIME that you picked up an item T_T) has also been fixed! Deep joy!
While this is only the third PC build of the newest addition to our Steam lineup - meaning that there is still quite some way to go – the team are already making huge advances and the game is looking great. I'm really looking forward to being able to tell you more about it very soon!

Hi everyone. It's the Lunar New Year, and I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like a good excuse for a sale. Happily our friends at Steam seem to agree, and as such there are some fantastic deals on our Steam releases, and many other games beside these.
Since I know you’ll want to get to the Steam Store and take advantage of the amazing offers available, I’ll try to run through them all as briefly as possible.
As usual, all discounts apply not only to the base game, but to all its associated DLC too:
Flame Over (regular price $11.99) has an 80% discount
Cubixx HD (regular price $8.99) has an 80% discount
I’m sure you’ll agree that these are some stunning deals, so make sure you pick up these brilliant games before the sale ends on the 19th February.
That’s all for now.
