Hello hello, everyone!  Borealis here with both bittersweet and exciting news!

I have two big announcements for you today, and both of them include new Venus: Improbable Dream content!  Got you intrigued?  Read on!

Firstly, the lovely let's player, FlareBlitzed, who has supported Venus: Improbable Dream since it was a wee demo, is sadly quitting YouTube this year.  It's such a shame to hear this news, but something rather creative and fun has come out of it; a farewell game jam has been set up in his honour, and Flare himself will be playing every submission on a YouTube live stream.  Why is this important for us?  Because the cast of Venus: Improbable Dream are appearing, of course!

That's right - you'll be able to see Kakeru & co on the big screen once again in a brand new kinetic novel created specially for this live stream, entitled Venus: Farewell To The Dream.  The game is tailored specifically to FlareBlitzed's departure from YouTube, but features a short yet emotional adventure that sees our beloved characters in new roles.  I must warn you that this game does contain spoilers about certain story elements and one particular ending from the main Venus: Improbable Dream game, so if you haven't played it yet, you might want to avoid seeing this stream until you've done so!  However, if you're all good in that respect, then please tune in to FlareBlitzed's YouTube channel tomorrow, Feb 26th, at 6pm GMT, to see him play the game and watch the magic unfold!  Click the icon below to visit his channel and bookmark it for tomorrow!

My second piece of news is possibly even MORE exciting, but you know what?  I'm not going to reveal it just yet!  Ehehehe, I'm such a tease!  What I WILL tell you is that it involves a major - that's right, major - Steam update to the core Venus: Improbable Dream, which will include new content for you players to unlock as you find it!  Excited?  Stay tuned to both these devlogs and the official Venus social media on Sunday, Feb 27th, when the big news will drop!  Eeeeek, I can't wait!

For now, have a wonderful weekend, and I'll be bouncing back onto your screens soon!
