Happy New year everyone!

(There will be a Chinese version to read too!)

(最底會有中文版本以方便中文支持者閱讀!)

Hello everyone! I’m Rice, and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Time flies, and it's been over a month since Heart Cage was released. Thank you all for your support and affection! I'm really happy to see everyone's feedback, especially the long reflections and beautiful fan art. Every review and fan art motivates me to keep creating <3

Since I completed the game all by myself, there are many areas that may not be perfect. I appreciate everyone's understanding. I will work hard to improve and provide you with a better gaming experience in the future!

After the game was released, I unfortunately fell seriously ill (I have now recovered!), so the previously promised side story DLC and digital Artbook planned for December will be delayed😭I’m truly sorry! I will rush to release them as soon as possible!

To avoid any confusion, here are the future DLCs that are confirmed to be released:

1. (Free, includes NSFW content) Clark Route (to be released in Q2 2026)

2. (Paid, includes NSFW content) Before the War (a short story from the perspectives of the six male characters, already released on itch; the Steam version will undergo some minor changes, planned for release in January-February)

3. (Paid, includes NSFW content) Inside (a short story from the perspectives of the six male characters + birthday calls, planned for release in January-February)

4. (Paid, includes NSFW content) Digital Artbook

5. (Paid) Original Soundtrack

Additionally, due to N’s unexpected popularity, I am actively considering creating his route, which will definitely include Enox in his route!

Furthermore, I also hope to create a DLC featuring sweet dates with the love interests, but I will announce the detailed dates later!

Regarding physical merchandise sales, I will soon be selling them on Patreon and Ko-fi! I will notify everyone on X, Discord, Patreon, and Steam when the time comes! (Patrons will get discount!)

Lastly, I hope Heart Cage brings you all love and joy in 2025, and I look forward to continuing to accompany you in 2026!

Wishing everyone a happy and smooth 2026!

===================================================================

大家好！我是Rice，祝大家新年快樂！

不知不覺Heart cage 已經發售了一個多月，感謝大家的支持和喜愛！看到大家的評價我都非常開心，尤其是長篇的感想，還有大家的同人創作，每一個評價和Fan-Art都是我繼續創作的動力<3

由於遊戲是我一個人獨力完成的，有很多地方會不夠完美，感謝大家的包容，我會努力進步和改善，令大家之後有更好的遊戲體驗！

由於遊戲發售後我生了場大病（現在已痊癒！），原本先前答應了大家12月上架的番外篇DLC和電子遊戲設定集需要延期了😭實在十分抱歉！我會盡快趕工推出！

為免大家混亂，以下是確定會推出的未來DLC：

1.（免費，含nsfw內容）卡特線（將於2026年第二季度推出）

2.（收費，含nsfw內容）Before the war (為六位男角視點的短篇故事，早前已在itch推出，steam版會進行小改動，計劃1-2月推出）

3.（收費，含nsfw內容） Inside (為六位男角視點的短篇故事+生日電話，計劃1-2月推出）

4.（收費，含nsfw內容）電子設定集

5.（收費）音樂原聲帶

另外…由於N意外地受歡迎，我正在積極考慮制作他的路線，而他的路線也絕對有伊諾克斯的加入！

除此之外我還希望制作與角色們甜蜜約會的DLC，但詳細日期我會在之後再公佈！

然後，有關實體周邊的販售，我也即將會在patreon和ko-fi 發售！屆時也會在X、discord、patreon和steam這裡通知大家的！

最後，希望Heart cage能為大家的2025帶來滿滿的愛和歡樂，也希望2026的Heart Cage能繼續陪伴大家～

祝大家2026年開開心心，順順利利！
