A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Hey everyone, We're happy to announce that we've regained publishing rights for Inked! Additionally, we've added a minor sandbox mode that allows you to play around with an endless amount of objects. Also remember that you can play the 2018 version of Inked, in a separate beta track. Thank you for your continued support! Sincerely, Somnium Games
First of all, we're happy to say that we could finally bring to you today! When I first played Inked, I felt the same as most previous players, the artwork is just beautiful (and Nameless Hero is just so cute), the game control was somewhat awkward, but I was soon engulfed by the story. I surprisingly discovered that the game had only sold around 2,000 copies...hmmm, perhaps they have set the price too high. For the developers Somnium Games, Inked is their first game. This is an incredibly valuable experience for them, and it deserves to be enjoyed by more players. Together we have spent over
If Inked: A Tale Of Love looks familiar, it may be because it had already caught your eye, like mine, when it originally launched on PC back in 2018. The lovely, colourful ballpoint pen artwork is hard to forget. After feeling that they didn't nail their vision at its initial launch, Somnium Games have been working on a re-release of the game with an "upgraded storyline, better controls, and more immersive graphics." The upgraded Inked, with all those new niceties, launches on August 27th. Read more
In the last dev story, we covered the initial development and release of Inked. Today we will take a look at how the feedback and reviews after the game’s release prompted the team to deeply analyze the game, and come up with ways to improve it. This postmortem of the game was supposed to be a guideline on how to do better at any future projects, but eventually became the foundation for the new and improved Inked which you are patiently waiting for today. Edi, Creative Director @ Somnium Games After the release of the game, some reviews were pretty negative and it was pretty hard to face them.
Hi Everyone, With Inked's mobile version launched in February, receiving many great reviews, we can finally feel comfortable enough to start working full-time on the PC version of the game. To celebrate this, we made a little renovation of our page. I hope you'll enjoy our new house on Steam! Besides development, we are also deciding on the name of our newly upgraded game. The team wants a name change, and the reason for that is because that the updated version will be very different from the original Inked. The new Inked will feature an upgraded storyline, better controls, and more immersive
As you all patiently wait for the relaunch of Inked, I want to start sharing a few dev stories (or just late dev logs) on my thoughts behind creating Inked - why and how we created this game and why it matters to us. Hopefully, it will allow you to understand why we wanted to take the time to re-work this game, and it might also be interesting to those who are interested in game design. Initial development and release We first got a chance to make the game in 2017, even though the game started development almost a year before that. Back in 2016, during Casual Connect Europe, we presented an ar
Hey everyone, We have an important announcement. Recently we have signed a deal with a new publisher, which means a lot of exciting things for Inked. For the PC version, this essentially means we will rerelease the game, but as a hugely improved version of the Inked you now know. Based on all the community feedback, reviews, and our own greater experience, we will strive to give you a better game in every possible way, from vastly improved gameplay to the visuals. However our cooperation with a new publisher doesn't stop there, and it will allow us to bring Inked to more platforms as well, bri

Coupled with improved controls from the older patch this should lead to a less frustrating experience when playing the game, as there will be a bit less tricky platforming and

As previously announced, this patch will primarily address some difficulties with controls, but will also offer better usability options. There are also a number of smaller tweaks to the game that we have done which should make certain levels more polished.

Since the release we have received feedback regarding the difficulty of the controls and object placement in the game. We are working on several tweaks and additions which should give you better control and more freedom to choose the way you want to play.
