Hello all, thank you all so much for your support and patience, I come with exciting news!
Venge 2.0 is basically done! The gameplay is completed, the systems and ui are completed, all thats left is 2 minigames! I'll get into more details here, but if you want to skip the read, here's a video recapping the same information:

Efix has been completely remade and unlike the other bosses, has had new sections added! I heard a lot of feedback from a lot of you that efix was too short, so this should be much better! Thank you all for your feedback, positive and negative, it really helps me and the game out a ton! Here's some screenshots:




1.0 had skeletons, a boring generic monster with no personality (no offense), they weren't exactly unique. (I'm sure you can list 12 games with skeletons), so 2.0 has replaced them with SKELEBANS! Skelebans are venge-ified rotting corpses. The cool thing about these fellas is their models are randomly generated! There is about 2.4 MILLION combinations at the moment, with more to come! So assuming less than 2.4 million people play, every single skeleban you see will be 100% unique and never seen before, how cool!

Like efix, their 2nd chase has actually been made into a chase and is much more interesting! Here's some screenshots:



Minigames are a very forgettable part of 1.0, but I'm hoping 2.0 will change that! 2.0 Minigames focus on challenge, highscores and leaderboards, and difficulty! Each one has unique gameplay and they are a ton of fun! There are 7 in total:
BONUS - DONE
Endless Bike Ride - DONE
Cartoonist Maze - STARTED
Hide and Seek - DONE
Helpsie's Duel - DONE
Skelebal Scare - DONE
Act 1 madness - NOT DONE

The video has more details and gameplay snippets, but my fingers hurt so you'll have to get the info there! Basically they are done and its great! Here's some screenshots:



Artifacts have been added, they are basically collectables on steroids. They can be items, inspectables, or even collectables themselves. You find them throughout your adventure and they are saved outside of the universes and will be a ton of fun to find and explore them all! Plus, some of them can even change your gameplay (like skins) and many give important lore clues to those who are interested!

Controller support is coming to 2.0, no longer will you have to make a janky mapping, itll be supported in house!

Commands are getting a lot better with functions, I'll be hopefully adding better scripting support, which basically means "modding" support. It's not a huge focus for 2.0, but it will be there for those who like to play around.


I'm 95% confident on my release date, but it could change. Should I tell you... yea I just ya. I'm aiming for AUGUST 16th, 2024! Venge's 4th anniversary!

The 2.0 update will be COMPLETELY free to anyone who already owns venge, thank you all so much for your support, especially if you have been here since the beginning, it really means a lot to me!
Yall are amazing, see you soon!

Hello everyone, sorry again for the radio silence (I swear all of my posts start this way, I'm so sorry!) but I've got some REALLY exciting news for you all!


Lets start with something you all can play, the public demo! I released a public demo for 2.0 a while ago but it had some big issues, I've fixed ALL of those issues and the update has been released! Below are steps to install. If you had a hard time playing the original public demo, give this one a shot! It's seriously so much better. (Thanks for all of the criticism on it, it really helped!)

Steps to install:

1. Make sure you own venge
   
2. Go to venge's steam page (in the library) and click the gear icon on the right
   
3. Choose properties
   
4. Go to the betas tab and select "public_demo"
   
5. You're good to go! The update should start installing!
   

While I haven't started beta testing cartoonist yet, the area is really cool and really expands her character and mechanics.



This boss fight is super fun and his district is so complex and so pretty. His AI has been completely overhauled and the ending has been boosted as well, its really fun to play and explore, I really cannot convey how much of an overhaul these updates are, everything has been restarted from scratch, its basically a brand new game!



Linked here is a video of cartoonist / laserette gameplay:

Additionally, I have finished the laserette hide and seek minigame! It is so much better now and has a steam highscore so you all can compete!


Helpsie is DONE and by far my favorite. He is no longer annoying and his boss fight goes into depth about his character and we get a ton of really fun story beats! The helpsie is a complex character with complex feelings, but I shouldn't spoil. Only the first 3 minutes are "turn left, turn right", the rest is all completely new! It is honestly so cool!

Additionally, I have finished the helpsie's duel minigame and OMGG it is so fun. It is a 6 stage duel with bosses and the pop gun, its honestly a ton of fun. Plus it has a leaderboard, so you can compete for the highest score!




Venge 2.0 is about 80% done. All thats left to do is Efix, Skelebans, and then the elevator finale. THATS IT! That being said, I'm aiming for an end of july release, THIS YEAR! Thats only like 4 months away!

After 2.0 is done, then I start working on Act 2 again! I'm aiming for December 2025, but that is REALLY an estimate.

Thank you all SOOO much for your support, even 4 years later. This game was/is made entirely by me (and only me) so I really do apologize for the slow pace, but I think 2.0 is really going to be something! Hopefully the demo is a ton of fun too! Now here's some awesome screenshots!


Some of these screenshots were from my awesome patreons (specifically @maxie09)! Thank you so much!

Hello everyone! For this holiday season, I took a small break from Venge to work on this new game called All She Wants For Christmas Is YOU! It is a horror game based on the idea that a christmas eve a demon from the deepest pits of the ice comes and haunts you! The game is really fun and will be out December 27th! You can wishlist it HERE

The game is really fun and has a bunch of endings/secrets/lore, literally anything you could ever hope for out of a game like this, I love it!

Here's the trailer:

[h3]What about Venge?[/h3]
As you may or may not know, all of my games exist in the same universe, so Venge and this game share a story! This means when you play this game you'll learn some more about Venge's story and universe! There is even some overlapping characters. I think ya'll will really enjoy it! :D

Anyways, 2.0 and Act 2 are coming along well, they should be released soon!
Yall are the besttt, thanks! :D
