I've added a developer's note to the beginning of the game and additional special thanks credits!
Big Announcement - Blake: The Visual Novel Available for Free
Hey everyone! It's Ori here (the solo dev!)
I have some important news I want to share with you about my game.
As some of you may be aware, Blake: The Visual Novel was originally intended to be an episodic journey, exploring the mysteries behind each character and their origin stories within in the world of rainy New Stone. Blake: The Visual Novel was my debut game, so I didn't publicise it as episodic on release - I didn't want to promise something unless I knew I had a budget for the next game. Sadly, this isn't the case and Blake: The Visual Novel as a stand-alone game has an incomplete story. Because of this paradoxical issue, I have made the decision to make Blake: The Visual Novel available as a free game. This will come into effect within the next few weeks.
I'd like to give a massive thanks to everyone who has supported me and my game, by playing, streaming, buying and promoting it! I can't thank you enough and it means the world to me. I never expected such a lovely reception <3 This ride has been an amazing one and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm sorry that I won't be continuing the story, but I'm looking forward to being able to share my game with you all :)
Thanks,
Ori
Patch 3: Accessibility Update
Big accessibility update: Self-voicing added to all buttons. Self-voicing descriptions added to image scenes. Mini-games made accessible for people who are visually impaired.
Blake: The Visual Novel is getting a price adjustment
Hi everyone!
After a large amount of deliberation, I've made the decision to increase the price of Blake: The Visual Novel. This is based on feedback I've received on numerous occasions that the game is priced too low. This is my first game and I'm still learning new things every day.
The new price for Blake: The Visual Novel will be changing to £5.79 ($7.99) on Monday 4th October, so be sure to take advantage of the absolute bargain introductory price of £1.69 ($1.99) whilst you can!
Although the price will be increasing, I plan to do regular sales and updates, and hopefully there will be more exciting announcements on the horizon for Blake!
Patch 2: Update notes - Rewording and typos
I've reworded some of the dialogue to make it easier to read, and fixed some typos.
