Venus: Improbable Dream just received a Positive rating here on Steam!
I'm so pleased to be able to share this news with you! A massive thank you to everyone who left glowing reviews of the game, as this will give us a big boost! To hear that my creation has touched your hearts and given you a positive experience means the world to me!
To celebrate this momentous occasion, Venus: Improbable Dream is now 40% off for a whole week! Grab yourself a copy or treat a friend, and join our emotional musical adventure!
As you may well know, the events and story of Venus: Improbable Dream have a huge focus on mental health - a subject that can never be explored enough. Though society is becoming much better about recognising, empathising with and supporting those with mental health issues, we still have a long way to go, and as a content creator, I never pass up a chance to do some good in that regard. That's why I'm excited to announce that Venus: Improbable Dream will be flying the mental health flag in full colours in collaboration with mental health charity Safe In Our World!
The Big Event
Safe In Our World are an awesome charity organisation that seek to promote mental health awareness and support through video games! Just like myself, they aim to eradicate the outdated negative stigmas surrounding mental health, and encourage an open dialogue about such topics, so that nobody ever feels alone or abnormal amid their struggles.
This weekend, Safe In Our World will be hosting a GIANT gaming livestream, entitled Safe In Our Raids, spanning all weekend from Friday May 6th - Sunday May 8th on Twitch! Across all 48 hours, you'll be able to watch a plethora of streamers playing all sorts of games, from little-known indie titles to AAA classics, in the hope of raising a whopping £2,500 to benefit mental health associations!
Not only that, but the last day of the stream will feature a HUGE giveaway segment, where you lucky viewers can win FREE copies of a whole goodie bag of games, and Venus: Improbable Dream is one of them!
If you'd like to get involved, spread the word, enjoy an entire weekend of fun, snag a free copy of the game, and maybe even donate, check out the Safe In Our Raids Tiltify Page!
Livestream Schedule
I really hope anyone who joins in this weekend has loads of fun, and I can't wait for one of you to receive that free copy of Venus: Improbable Dream! Let's band together and show the world the power of gaming!
See you there! Borealis
Venus: Improbable Dream Steam Achievements Have Arrived!
Venus: Improbable Dream creator Borealis here, and I'm so happy to share this news!
As of today, Venus: Improbable Dream will feature Steam Achievements! This is something I planned to implement from the beginning, but sadly, Ren'Py (the engine I used for the game) is notoriously tricky to sync with Steam for things like achievements, and I couldn't find a solid way to make it happen at first. Thankfully, Ren'Py has seen some recent updates that have made this much easier, and so here we are - another improbable dream made possible!
There are 17 achievements in total for you to find; some of them are triggered simply by reaching certain points in the story, and others are only earned if you make specific choices, so replaying just got even more worth it! I'll give you a hint - you might want to explore all of the things that Kakeru and Haruka can do at lunch time in order to find some of the trickier ones 😉
I really hope you enjoy this new addition to the game, and if you're curious about this new content or want to discuss your progress, why not get chatting in the discussions? I'll be there to answer any questions! Have a lovely day, gamers, and get achieving! Borealis
