Dungeons & Dating - New Beta Build Release

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.

Venture Seas - April Progress Report

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 minimal animation) should hopefully be more 'satisfying' to experience than having a singular animated scene, fading between several artworks, rather than us focusing too hard on one particular artwork.



Ashley and Toxxy have been working hard on the new (final) main story dungeon, [Bleakfyre Harrows], writing up the finalized scenes and drawing concepts for new baddies and sex-crazed monsters.



I hope to get back on track soon with bug fixes etc... so we can release another build for ya'll to try (which already has animated sex scenes for every main character and gameplay refinements on many systems)

Thanks for your patience with our build release schedule :)

We are always working very hard on the project, even when not in the most 'optimal' order in terms of releasing 'stable' playable builds.

We are at an exciting stage where we want to push the limits of quality, beyond what I ever imagined Venture Seas would become!

p.s. Please enjoy some promo artwork of Gull we forgot to use, featuring an outdated meme :3c
