Venture Seas Godot - Progress Update ◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈━◈ It's been a busy period behind the scenes and it's about time for a progress update so here we go! Godot Progress & Coding > The most complex coding tasks are out of the way! > We're keeping the new Combat / Inventory system under wraps for now, but the functionality is mostly completed (although all graphics are placeholder). > The most difficult / main parts of the 'Visual novel scene system' is essentially completed (just need to add easy/quick stuff, e.g. code for playing music etc...) > Basic functionality for most screens have been ported over from the Java version. > We've also been experimenting with new possibilities in Godot, such as a code based 'jiggle physics' system for characters (rather than a pre-animated jiggle) This will allow for a 'physics-based' boobie jiggle whenever character…
- Venture Seas - January 2024 - Progress Report - 10 January 2024
Venture Seas is not Dead! I'll start this out with a simple and upfront apology, I am genuinely extremely sorry for my lack of communication about Venture Seas. This was a shitty reaction to stress on my part, which I made worse and worse the longer I was absent. For those interested in the 'why' of my silence, or more details on my personal situation, feel free to continue reading at the link below. Otherwise, I hope ya'll can get excited again with me about the new direction for Venture Seas! Venture Switch: Detailed Apology ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Future of Venture Seas One of the biggest issues with Venture Seas has always been that it was coded using Java - a language I feel was not suited for my own experience, and the task at hand. This is a large part of why things that should be simple (bug fixes or small alterations) can become extremely complex, a…

Venture Seas has updated with more fixes and tweaks!! (See the changelog below) Beta Changelog Updated base game frameworks (LibGDX) to latest version ----This is very likely to cause some bugs/functionality changes ----NOTE: I accidentally lost about 2 days of code when doing this, and had to manually recover it.

- Venture Seas - December 2021 Progress Report - 23 December 2021
We've been rushing to get a beta release out before the 25th, but unfortunately, Christmas is right around the corner and we can't get something playable (or with complete artworks) ready in time this year :( Big apologies for not having something new to experience for the holidays in Venture Seas, but hopefully the new content will be a lot more enjoyable, with us given more time to refine the latest content release and ensure as few bugs as possible. Here are some artwork/animation previews to tide you over until we release the next patch after Christmas! It has been a hard year for many people, so we hope all of you and the people you love have a great time during the holidays! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please join the official discord to report any bugs or issues: https://discord.gg/C7JKZKS Also follow our official twitter…
- Venture Seas - November 2021 Progress Report - 14 November 2021
Time for another progress update and, while we’re not quite there yet, it feels like everything really is starting to come together for this next build. (If you follow our twitter, you'll likely know some of this already.) First and foremost here’s the finished implementation of the new ‘Greblin’ race NPCs, a belligerent race of goblinoid enemies that infest Bleakfyre Harrows. But before you can get to grips with them you’ll have to negotiate your way past the voracious Swamp Goddess who claims ownership of these tainted lands. (Work in Progress) We've also finished adding a new 'mayan-influenced' city to the game, where you will meet the beautiful Priestess Akna! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please join the official discord to report any bugs or issues: https://discord.gg/C7JKZKS Also follow our official twitter: https://twitter…
- Venture Seas - September 2021 Progress Report - 10 September 2021
Progress update for Venture Seas! Just wanted to waffle about our progress on the next build. Firstly, I'd like to mention that we're trying out a social media posting schedule, so we can keep people more informed. I'll be posting info and artwork about the project on the Official Twitter. As for the next build, we've been working hard on Bleakfyre Harrows (the final 'main story' dungeon) and Itzayula (a new 'mayan inspired' swamp city) All of the dungeon scenes are written and implemented as a base, awaiting testing and final artwork. Here's some concepts of a new shortstack 'Greblin' race we've been designing for the new dungeon! Most of the main story content is now written and complete, all the way to the ending. The post-game will feature a new ship (an ironclad vessel) which will act as an opportunity to travel under the world-oceans, up into the sky-ocean or even new continents!…

- Dungeons & Dating - New Beta Build Release - 24 June 2021
We've got a massive list of changes, for the new iteration of the game. I've focused on fixing as many bugs as possible (focusing on the most annoying/game-breaking stuff first), but also adding a lot of slick additions to improve overall gameplay and comfort. If you wish to play this build, make sure to switch your game version to the Steam Beta Branch! We aim to push this game version to the main branch as soon as possible! So we can work on releasing the new dungeon content, This is why I ask for a CALL TO ARMS for all you kind players to test this version of the game and report your bugs to me for fixin'. The best way to report bugs is to create a text document of all issues/bugs you discover, and send that file in the appropriate discord channel. Official Community Discord! Thanks again for your support Please join the official discord if you wish to keep up to date with the develo…
- Venture Seas - April Progress Report - 1 April 2021
A new month has arrived, and yet another routine apology about not spending time to create an announcement post for Venture Seas and our amazing progress! The team has been craving a bit of fun, so we've neglected our highest priorities in favor of focusing on future content (which has slowed the build release schedule) But we've had some fantastic output in terms of inspiration and new content overall! I've mostly been experimenting with the fun side of coding, trying out ideas to improve existing gameplay/game feel. I've also been working on artwork for an intricate Tiana sex scene, which will function slightly differently to existing animations in-game. I'm aiming to reduce the amount of time spent animating (rigging, complex motions etc) in favor of more artwork/progression in the sex scenes (more similar to eastern hentai scene progression) This 'comic' style progression (with very…
- Venture Seas - February Progress Report - 4 February 2021
Just a quick news update about Venture Seas! We've made some progress on the development this month, but we are behind where we initially planned to be at this time. The Covid pandemic has affected our time frames more than initially expected, for various individual reasons. (which is unfortunately, out of our control) Here are some environment redesigns that Toxxy has worked extra hard on! We are currently working to refine the starter stages of the game, as well as evenly distribute many sex scenes throughout (each with an easy means to access) Thanks again for your support Please join the official discord if you wish to keep up to date with the development progress: Discord Invite Link Thank you so much for your attention and feedback! Stay tuned for further updates about our progress :)
- Venture Seas - Beta Branch Major Fixes - 30 December 2020
The Beta Branch for Venture Seas has updated with major fixes and tweaks! (See the changelog below) We've noticed more recent negative Steam reviews since releasing the latest beta build, which are really harmful to our standing on Steam. The Beta builds are NOT intended to present the game in a state to be formally reviewed. Our intention was just to provide a 'hands on' method of seeing our progress, and get a glimpse of what we are aiming to accomplish (and get some valuable input from players!) We've also heard concerns about gameplay systems negatively impacting content and artwork creation, but this is not the case thankfully! We have artists working hard and have built up a backlog of content. Our focus after refining the gameplay will be almost entirely on content implementation / creation. Please consider taking the time to leave a Positive Steam Review at this current stage to…
- Dungeons & Dating - Early Beta Testing - 21 December 2020
We've decided to give you guys an early playable preview of the upcoming build! You can play by joining the Venture Seas Beta Branch (Instructions Below). Although the new build isn't content complete yet we're excited to be able to give you guys a preview look and help keep you entertained over the festive period. The new year is upon as, and with it will come many additions to Venture Seas, including: An entire story chapter, with a new dungeon (new enemies, items and scenes!) An entirely new dungeon exploration system Complete rework of Combat Runes (which have also doubled in count!) New dating content for each main ship character, including sex animations Many quality of life / minor additions for a more comfortable / enjoyable experience There are several animations / scenes that are still missing (most dating content is still inaccessible), and the build still needs an overall po…
- Venture Seas - October Progress Report - 2 November 2020
We are past due for another progress report! Toxxy has been hard at work as usual, hammering out new sex content to compliment the dating progression for the main characters. He's been working on a scene where Kari takes charge in the bedroom... And also a scene where Aurelia gives the player a sensual footjob... Toxxy has also been working on the interface, drawing lots of amazing icons for the new expedition system! My work computer was out of commission for over a week, so that slowed down progress on coding... But I instead spent that time planning, and drawing content for the 'update after next' where the player visits a swampland tribe on the central continent, who worship a ruthless futa giantess. I've also revised my plans for the 'ending' to the main storyline, which should also be included in that update. Before and after that however, I've gotten all dungeons to a stable stat…
- Venture Seas - September Progress Report - 20 September 2020
It's about time for a progress report on Venture Seas! We've been working hard to get the new dungeon system in place, as well as various improvements throughout the game. All of the following images show 'Work in Progress' content. You can now scout for expedition events, and choose the most favorable path through a zone, depending on your current goal (finding new weapons, treasures, etc...) 'starred' events will also allow revisiting of sex scenes within dungeon, to replace sex scenes on combat defeat (so less chance of missing any lewd content) Toxxy is also working on updating the user interface artwork for the new systems. We started with a rough concept of the new map system, which is now almost fully functional in terms of coding. But we are now experimenting with the interface visuals. The new zone selection feature allows you to choose from randomly generated zones, which each…
