Glad there isn't any step shit despite the intro mentioning it.
Muted sounds immediately after hearing the first line.

The creator of this is an insane grifter and probably deserves some kind of Youtube discussion video made about him and this hypothetical "Remake" this new team allegedly "works" on. Seriously. Someone needs to catalogue a timeline on this whole circus parade being played here, because i get Flashbacks to NFT / Memecoin projects, just banking on morons investing money or Patreon/Substar bucks for the conman "dev" to leech off.

On the topic of ReDaze i.e the remake. Who asked for this? The original game, while being a simple short Renpy flip, was fine for what it was. It had its flaws, the VA work was unnecessary since the dialogue basically amounts to nothing. To add to that, there is no Story or characterisation outside of "quirks" or "traits" the girls have, like the tomboy, the dog girl, the "smart?" dom and the Milf character. Like what exactly is there to "act", for the need for Voicework?

Speaking of Engines like Renpy, the switch to Godot is the dumbest thing i've heard. You hear so many stories of failed and disastrous dev cycles, because of mid development engine switches, basically one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse for any doomed project. This remake should have stuck to RenPy and in the sense of a simple Art asset redo and maybe because the Dev wants to, a VA work redo too. Could have fixed some Bugs, RenPy jankiness and updated the UI too, but alas here we are. That wouldn't have taken more than a year or two, instead of how many fucking years they have been twiddling their thumbs.

And all of that for what, so they can make 3D enviroments? Reminder this game takes place entirely around a single house, if they're implying there will be some Sandbox, exploration or whatever movement elements it makes even less sense. In general there seemed to be next to no direction, planning or scope from what i've read in the Devlogs up till now. Excuses upon excuses, upon promises and whatever they call "progress".


All in all, this shit will never come out (Maybe a shat out Demo, so they can say "see we DID work on something"). Really disappointing, since while i had my problems with the original, i liked it still and there was potential for Tropical Daze.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

All you've said it's literally what's been discussed all the time here, and it's all true. Voices in the game were a dumb add, switching engines more stupid that the voices and lastly the 3d rooms it's the cherry of the cake, full retarded behavior. By the time we currently are, the game should have like you said some sandbox like mechanics and others stuff, if it's just a plain VN there was no point in all that work they putting in.

Still, like i said in the past, whatever shit critical bliss is in, i won't buy it, sorry for the devs, but cb doesn't deserve shit.

I saw someone talking about the trademark topic on NTRaholic remix, i mean, at this point it wouldn't be a surprise if Critical Bliss just run out of money and kept everything on hold till some miracle saves him.

Game took so long it literally outlasted CB, cannot make up this level of clownery.
We are in September already and still not even a trace of a demo for the remake, on steam Frost keeps trying to make people believe they're working on it.

ok so I’m mostly just curious

What is the answer they’ve given for why they aren’t doing updates and partial releases like…
most other games like this, especially on this site? Including the original snow daze. Itself. Maybe 1 day at a time is too much to expect…well anything is too much to expect.

at this point it’s clear they haven’t even finished the demo. But I mean what was their answer from the start, for why they’re doing it this way?

Because they partnered and gave the whole project to critical bliss and that's how critical bliss "works".
The usually 2 only answers from "Frost"(the only dude receiving the bullets and being a total dumbass for protecting this when he's not even the original creator nor works for critical bliss) are:
"It's being worked on".
"Go the discord (Cypress zeta discord and he isn't even there because the sever "accidentally" banned him even when he's the owner) to inform yourself" - there's literally nothing in there.

Frost also said that they didn't put dates because they don't want to crunch people, but they put a release date for the remake on December 2024, that was obviously not meeted, and was always telling people that a demo will come out before the game, also never happened.

Here is a summary of the situation, because I know a thing or two about how to navigate in these things.

I will be referring to the documents that can be found in the 'DOCUMENTS' section of the webpages.

First 'Critical Bliss' trademark – abandonned

.

This trademark was never registered, as the applicant (Lewd Media LLC) did not reply to the examiner's objections. This objection can be checked in the 'DOCUMENTS' section of the webpage.

Let's have a quick look at the objection, which is the first and only one the examiner sent.

The examiner objected that the applicant had filed no proof that "the applied-for mark" is "actually used in commerce for each international class of goods identified in the application", and that either such proof had to be filed or that the class of goods and services of the trademark had to be amended.

CB had preemptively filed as alleged proof in their initial application a screenshot of ("Specimen" document, dated Apr. 22, 2023). This did not convince the examiner.

The application became abandonned on Apr. 29, 2024. The 2-month deadline to revive the application has long expired (and so has the deadline for reinstatement), so no revival is possible. This trademark application is completely dead.

It must also be noted that no trademark attorney was linked to this trademark, so Lewd Media LLC filed the trademark application themselves and likely had to deal with everything themselves.

Second and third 'Critical Bliss' trademarks – pending

The 'Critical Bliss' tradermark has been re-filled with two trademark applications, (filed 18 July 2024) and (filed 21 March 2025).

None of these two trademarks have been registered so far, as the examiner has, here also, raised some non-final objections that still need to be solved.

These two trademarks are represented by the IP cabinet legalipexperts.com, so CB has the support of trademark professionals to advise them, remind them of upcoming deadlines, etc. (these cabinets are financially expensive).

Here again, for the two cases, the applicant had preemptively filed alleged proof of use, but this time they only provided the URL of their Steam publisher page (no screenshot), see "Application" document in its section 'Goods and services'.

And also here again, the examiner made the same remark as before in his objections. For the semi-figurative version, they have also requested that the description of the logo be amended to be more factual.

It must be noted that all three trademark applications have all been reviewed by three different examiners.

CB failed to reply to the examiner for the word trademark application, thus the application was abandonned, but it was then revived one month later due to a successful petition to continue processing (they argued that "Applicant has firsthand knowledge that the failure to respond to the Office Action by the specified deadline was unintentional. The signatory did not receive the Office action prior to the expiration of the response period", see "TEAS Petition to Revive Abandon Applic" dated Jun. 25, 2025).

CB has until 28 September 2025 to reply to the examiner's objection for the word version.

CB has until the 27 November 2025 to reply to the examiner for the semi-figurative version.

Also of note, while the first trademark was filed under the ownership of the company Lewd Media LLC, the two new ones are filed under the ownership of the natural person Ryan Javan Caldwell.

The other difference is that the newly-filed trademark applications have the same list of goods and services but do not mention "Downloadable video game software" in their lists; this was likely done to remove the redundancy with the "Downloadable video game programs" they already had in these lists.
