At least there is a little progress, but it's just enough to have hope that this will be finished at some point.
Entertainingly, the changes they're making to the dungeon map are the benchmark I had set for myself in terms of 'do they actually know what they're doing, mechanically?'
So the thing about this game, and the biggest problem it has, is that it's a slapdash combination of generic RPG mechanics on top of a mystery dungeon/roguelike dungeon system. The dialogue and events are vaguely sourced from visual novels in how they work, but most of the time spent playing would be spent in a samey dungeon that was, at best, boring to explore. And at worst? Outright, game-endingly dangerous.
The single best choice I've seen from them as a developer was the icons indicating points of interest while exploring the dungeon, more specifically, ones you can't yet see. It gives you just enough information that theoretically, it turns the experience from you randomly stumbling around hoping you'll find something that isn't a fight, into you targeting what you want and trying to avoid anything else. Without seeing the final product, I can't judge the quality, mind you.
Between the dungeon rewrite and the battle system/runes, they're actually redoing somewhere in range of 3/4 of the game by player experience and maybe 1/3 or so by code line count. It's an impressive commitment to rectifying mistakes they made in development.
(And this announcement shows I was justified in putting my mod on hold - the dungeon additions I was working on last will absolutely need to be reworked.)

If you downloaded the patreon version of Venture Seas there is a built in cheat menu. In the lower righthand corner near the settings and journal icons is another icon. Click that and it will bring up the cheat menu.
Yeah, sorry about that. Figured that out by redownloading the game. Apparently I had originally downloaded the game a little more than 3 days before that update. Funny how life works
And thanks for the info anyway!

. Short version is that art assets for new scenes are in the works, the updated balance and gameplay are being feature-tested for bugs and general playability, and the new interface is being finalized. Looks like a tentative schedule of 'hopefully by Christmas' for the next update.
I tried launching the game and this happened. The "not rendered" parts of the game still work, I can click on them an menu's still open. But it's unplayable in this state. This happens in some other games I played too but I can resize those games via the corners of the windows which usually fix the render issue. But I can't resize this game by just dragging the window corners. Therefore I have no idea on how to solve this issue.
I'm currently on Win7 x64 and java 8 271.
Could someone help me with this issue?

That's a fair point, although involving the wrong character. As of the

this game absolutely should have the BDSM tag because of the prince.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

the problem is, porn isnt just sex. what gets you turn on in a porn could very well be a massive turn off if it happened to you.
belive it or not, more than half of the people that enjoy ntr, wouldnt want it to happen to them.
when it comes to traps, its not about gay or straight, i enjoy trap porn, but i have absolutely no desire to have sex with another guy. saying you must be gay because you enjoy traps is no diferent from saying you want to kill people because you enjoy shooters, or the saw movies.
people are more complex than that dude.

One thing involves the consensual sex between two people the other is literally murder. I would dare to say there is a difference.
If you are getting turned on by the thought of having sex with men. Especially if it's between the choice of another man (trap) and woman? Well, isn't that the literal definition of homosexuality which I posted in my earlier comment? There might be a slew of outer/inner factors, that prohibits one from expressing said homosexuality in real life. Yet it doesn't change the circumstances of the attraction. Mingling the other factors from the reality of the situation and calling it complexity is not the "answer".
One could indeed be bi with a penchant for same–sex with men, but wanting traps above women is not a straight thing. A statement which I originally sought to rebuke.

I'm a bit of an idiot so I'll also bite on the NTR bait. Even though it has absolutely nothing to with this topic and served merely as a strawman argument on your side.
Personally I abhore the genre (and it's in many ways meant to illicit those feelings), but NTR could serve to affirm the love of another one. Maybe you are not sure, but going through the thought of having the loved one being with another person via (projection of) an NTR game could be enough. That subject is indeed complex.
Not quite the same can be said about nuttin' to images of dudes having sex with each other: "Ooooh yyyeah, I came so much. That certainly proves to myself, that I'm not attracted to guys(?)."

This is on the Steam beta branch at the moment, so someone with a copy of the game on Steam would need to download it and remove the Steam API from it before we can get it here. Otherwise we're going to wind up waiting for the mainline Patreon update, whenever that happens.
