A major new update is now available for Vibrant Venture! Please restart Steam if the update does not automatically show up for you.

This update features multiple new levels, a new world, the town and lots of overhauls, improvements and fixes!

Several old systems have been completely rewritten from scratch in this update, most notably the audio system. This ensures the game no longer consumes more memory when we add new sound effects and music like with the old system!

We have been working on this update for over half a year now, and we are very excited to finally share it with you all. In the future, we will try to limit the scope for the updates a bit more so that we can get smaller updates out more frequently.

As always, I will fix any bugs and issues you guys encounter as fast as possible.

Make sure to watch the devlog video for all the juicy details about the update and check out the changelog down below!
