Blue Toad Episode 3 Impressions [10]
Blue Toad Murder Files For Free Today [17]
There’s Been A Murrrrrder [28]
The Great God Nofi has spoken, his voice booming across the internet. ”Do better!” he commanded to Blue Toad developers, Relentless. They cowered in fear and quickly planned a response to please their God. Yes, Nofi is that powerful, we have to be careful in TSA Towers as when he makes a cup of tea his gentle swirling of the teaspoon is enough to create tornadoes.
Following criticisms that the series does not offer value for money episode three from the Blue Toad Murder Files will be available for free . This episode will be available to anyone who has purchased episode one and then subsequent episodes 4-6 will available as one pack for £9.99.
“We’ve had great reviews and feedback for the content and quality of Blue Toad, but we would be arrogant to overlook peoples’ concerns about the cost and replayability of an episode,” said the game’s producer, Jade Tidy. “As the publisher of Blue Toad we had the opportunity to tackle one of those issues immediately and I’m thrilled that we decided to take this brave step to address it.”
“We’ve made something we’re all very proud of, and knowing people have enjoyed our game enough to ask us when the next episode comes out makes us very happy.”

Any idea if this will apply to people who buy the first three together? I.e If you buy the pack with one and two, do you get three free?

Nevermind, I see what they are doing. Basically they are re-pricing the episodes as £9.99 for three.

Yes that’s what I got from it all as well.
Very nice of them to acknowledge the problem at all and then actually do something about it.

Thats great news. I purchased the first two episodes and although i have only played one i was a bit let down by the whole thing. Its good to know that number 3 will be free and then the rest will only cost a tenner. Its great to see feedback both negative and positive getting listened to, that has convinced me into buying them all now and finishing the story!
Now then nofi next job is that release of GT5, anything you can do about that?

Once again I’d like to thank everyone’s comments from the previous Blue Toad article. There were clear concerns about the replayability/cost of the product and so I hope this addresses some of those.
We still have plans for improving the replayability in the future, but any big changes will take time if they are to be implemented properly and this will hopefully go some way to appeasing those who enjoyed the game but thought it was a bit expensive.

Absolutely stunning news. Not just to save money and enjoy more episodes but because it builds respect between customer and studio/developer. It’s times like this when the gaming community makes me proud to be a part of. To realise that we’re actually being listened to and that it’s by a human, not some automated response in a generic email. It makes me pay closer attention to Relentless’ future endeavours which can only be a good thing.

Good deal. I’d been a bit iffy on spending £20 for the remaining episodes, but now that I’ll be able to get the rest for just £10, I’ll check them out. Thanks.
