Developer Livestream Today!
The Midnight at the Celestial Palace Developer Livestream is TODAY @ 6pm PT/9pm ET on https://www.twitch.tv/orrerygames. Please come hang out! I'll be chatting about the original game, its coming sequel, and other random stuff! Won't you join us?

Midnight at the Celestial Palace - Part II
Greetings fans!

We're happy to announce that Midnight at the Celestial Palace: Part II is on its way!

You might have noticed the "Part" part of "Part II." Why not Chapter II? Well, we're making a change in the release model. Chapter I will soon change to Part I, while this new game will be a continuation and conclusion of the series. Basically, you'll be getting all the intended content for Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 in one big, awesome game!


Naturally, we understand this may bring up some questions for our beloved players. To that end, we are doing a Developer Q&A Livestream and Play-Through. Please join Justin, designer of the MatCP series next Thursday May 21st @ 9pm ET / 6pm PT on https://www.twitch.tv/orrerygames He'll be playing through and commenting the original game, while also talking about Midnight: Part 2 and answering your questions!

And hey! There is now a way to support the MatCP team directly (other than buying copies of our games, of course.) Please visit our Patreon Page at https://www.patreon.com/orrerygames and consider helping us keep the lights on! Behind-the-scenes goodies and other nonesense will be released monthly for our "Stargazer" supporters!

Also, please stop by the Midnight Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/midnightatthecelestialpalace/ and say "hi!"

Thank you to all our fans for sticking by us during the rough times. We are excited about the road to come, and look forward to having you all there along with us!

Best,

The Midnight at the Celestial Palace Team

Something on the Horizon
All we can say for now is stay tuned! Be sure to check back here in the coming months for some potentially exciting news...

Farewell to Dreamania
We’d like to sincerely thank all of you who played and enjoyed Midnight: Chapter I. Since its release, we’ve received incredibly positive feedback from players and press alike. We were deeply humbled by the response, and our sincerest thanks goes out to everyone who played. It means so much to us that our years of hard work paid off in this regard, and that we were able to give adventure players an enjoyable, quality product.

However, even though it was well-received, Midnight: Chapter I fell well short of our expected sales numbers. We tried our best to gather interest in the game, well before and after launch, but unfortunately our efforts have not produced satisfactory results. It is with heavy hearts that we announce that the Midnight at the Celestial Palace series has been shelved indefinitely.

We’d like nothing more than to continue the story as planned. But without proper funding and a large enough audience, creating a sequel is not justifiable or possible. We fully understand that this news will likely upset many, and deeply regret that things had to come to an end so abruptly.

If we ever have the means and opportunity in the future, we would love to join Greg and Squiggles on their adventures once more. But for now, we must say farewell to The Land of Dreamania. Hopefully we will return. Someday.

Sincerely,
The Midnight at the Celestial Palace Team
