Hey everyone, with the DC2 records shipping out tomorrow, this adventure is coming to a close. With that said I’m excited to finally share what’s next. After receiving overwhelming support and suggestions, the choice was clear... the next pressing will be Dark Cloud 1!
It only feels right to go back to where it all started and bring the original Dark Cloud soundtrack to vinyl (again)! DC1 is very near and dear to my heart, even more so than Dark Cloud 2, believe it or not. This game consumed my childhood (and a decent amount of my adult life as well) in the best way possible, so an extreme amount of love and care will be going into this project!
I also heard the constructive criticism regarding the price of the DC2 pressing. While seeing it funded in less than a minute was incredible, it was disappointing knowing some fans who wanted to be part of the project simply couldn’t justify the cost. Smaller pressings unfortunately mean a higher cost per copy, so this time the goal is to get the price as low as possible, so we’ll need your help spreading the word!
DC2 was limited to just 50 copies and is very close to being sold out with just 2 units left. If we can get enough support behind Dark Cloud 1, the goal is to increase the pressing to 100 copies, bringing the preorder price down from the previous $200 to around $150 or hopefully even lower. The more support we can build, the more affordable we can make this for everyone. If you know another Dark Cloud fan who would love to see the original soundtrack on vinyl, please share the project and help spread the word!
More details on the artwork and preorder date will be shared as things progress, join the Discord on my profile to stay up to date. Thank you again for all the support. I can’t wait to show you what’s planned for Dark Cloud 1!
