Venture Seas - Beta Branch 10/04/2020

There is a 'beta' branch to test out unstable changes before pushing that build over to the default branch.

It is highly recommended that you DO NOT switch to the beta branch if you want the most stable gameplay experience (less chance of crashes / major issues)

If you are interested in testing the latest beta versions, you can now opt-in!
(right-click game in library > VentureSeas > Properties > Betas)

Please join the official discord to report any bugs you find in the beta branch:
