Hi!
I thought I’d answer some of the questions that have come up in the comments on my site so they are a little easier to find. Here you go:

• Will there be a patch to fix bugs/issues?

Absolutely! I’m planning to have it ready some time during July for sure.

• Will you make more levels for the game?
  

Probably not. I’m reworking the current one slightly though, to make it more interesting. The story in Blueberry Garden is finished and doesn’t need to be extended, I believe. I will make more (and hopefully even better) games instead!

• When can I buy the game from somewhere else? (That is not Steam)

Hopefully really soon, like within a few weeks. I’m still working out the deals and trying to improve the game some first.

• Will the game come to Mac or Linux?

Since I have used a technology called XNA (made by Microsoft) it’s kinda hard and not something that can be easily done. I could make a try if a lot of people are interested. If anyone has any experience doing this kind of port I’d be very happy to hear about it…

Take care everybody!

Hello !

What an amazing destiny for these couple of piano tracks I published on the Internet a couple of years ago ! I was miles away from imagining that one day, they would be selected as the soundtrack of such a beautiful video game.

I hope you will enjoy listening to the music as much as I liked to compose it, and that it will add a little something to your journey through the garden.

I am sincerely grateful to Erik for bringing me into the Blueberry Garden adventure, from the release of the trailer to the San Francisco prize ceremony and now, for giving me this opportunity to blog about Blueberry Garden’s soundtrack, “Et Apres”.

Finally, I read many nice comments you left about the music: thank you so much for this ! I might one day publish the scores, but I am unfortunately not really good at writing them… I hope to tell a bit more about the stories behind the tracks in a future post.

Hi folks, just wanted to clarify something about the demo version of Blueberry Garden.

The main purpose of the demo is for you to make sure you can run the game and to see if you like the mood etc. There is no goal or ending to demo so if you like what you see, please buy the full version. You’ll only ruin the experience if you play the demo too much I think.

Also — HUGE thanks to everyone who has bought the game and especially those who have commented on it here on my site afterwards! It’s awesome to know what you think and that so many people seem to get something out of playing it.

Best wishes,

Erik

I’m at the annual Swedish Game Awards in Stockholm right now and (as I was hoping) the very cool game Bloodline Champions won the Grand Prize!

The game was made by a group of students from my university and I know things will go very well for the in the future because they are awesome. Good luck guys!

Ok, finally Blueberry Garden is up on Steam!!! =) =) =)

What a great and exciting journey it has been, thanks everybody for all the support and patience!

The only thing left now is for you to play the game — Get it here

Also, here is the new Official Blueberry Garden information page.

Take care,

Erik

Seems like there are some problems with the Steam release stuff, will probably take a little while to sort it out. I hope you have some patience with this, it’s the first time I’m doing this kind of thing you know. I’m terribly sorry and I will do all I can to get the game out as soon as possible!

Ok, so the game is supposed to be released very soon and to celebrate I decided to have a little party, chilling out in my apartment with some friends. I’ll update this post with pics of what’s happening as the evening progresses.

Blueberry pies!

Beer, cheese and snacks.

Yum... blueberry jam (and candy)

On Steam!

Really soon.

But not today.

I’m sorry and I hope you won’t hate me.

Official press release will be reliable though.

Oh, and I’m so happy people want to play the game, I really hope you will like it…

Take care,

Erik
