News from Steam/Discord:
Venture Seas Godot - Progress Update
It's been a busy period behind the scenes and it's about time for a progress update so here we go!
(NOTE: all visuals are placeholder)
Godot Progress & Coding
> The most complex coding tasks are out of the way! [ <3 Godot ]
> We're keeping the new Combat / Inventory system under wraps for now, but the functionality is mostly completed (although all graphics are placeholder).
> The most difficult / main parts of the 'Visual novel scene system' is essentially completed (just need to add easy/quick stuff, e.g. code for playing music etc...)
> Basic functionality for most screens have been ported over from the Java version.
> We've also been experimenting with new possibilities in Godot, such as a code based 'jiggle physics' system for characters (rather than a pre-animated jiggle) This will allow for a 'physics-based' boobie jiggle whenever characters move position on screen etc...
<To see the video, please view our announcement in discord! >
- Bigger dungeon maps are now easily possible in Godot, with no need for multiple floors.
As mentioned before, Godot has been such a breath of fresh air to work with and progress has been so much faster than previously in Java.
Initial testing of the combat system code functionality has been successful, so we're looking to start play-testing the new combat system internally very soon and if all goes well we will be looking to start replacing placeholder art with the goal of making the game presentable for getting external feedback as well.
Character Art / Sex Scenes
Previously, the approach to sex scene planning and the totality of the game was a little less than ideal and often led to the need to re-work or re-do scenes at later dates.
So, this time around we're taking a much more structured approach to planning every scene in the game ahead of time and creating storyboards for every scene.
Since this is the perfect time to do so, we're also giving every scene a look over and trying to move them toward a more consistent style and implement some fun additional things we would like to see such as better scene progression and potential internal shots etc. Essentially just giving every scene a quality check and adding/improving where we feel is needed.
Here are a few examples of images from sketched storyboards (as well as a look at both Ignacy and Gull's updated character art above).
Please do keep in mind though that everything shown is W.I.P. and not finalized!
Music / Soundtrack Update
Since the previous status update, we've had a whole new main theme composed and I'm really looking forward to when we can let you all hear it too because I really love how it turned out.
But, until then, here are two more of the original sound tracks to listen to!

Wow! Maybe there is hope after all! I've waited this long. I can wait a few more months.

Oh joy. Redoing the art. Again. With minimum budget. Great.

It does seem the artist (Toxxy) is on staff, been MiA on Twitter and their patreon for nearly a year as well

This game was the first I bought on Steam but
Dudes, the First image looks so much like AI generated. Look at the lineart on his shoulder going through the fur. Also the face on both of them is definitely AI style. Dev falls so low.
I don't believe the sketches, sketches can be traced over the AI art.
Honestly, for some games I've waited probably since 2017 or 2018 at this point? Not sure. Breeders of Nephelym and Mythic Manor I've been following for that long I think. I've waited for Half-Life 3 since 2012. I'm used to waiting. I don't enjoy it but I've gotten used to it.

No moreso than prudence, and trying to change up everything at once sure as hell isn't prudent.

Oh no, I completely agree. This game's development has been a dumpster fire since I first found it. My money's on it never getting more content than it has now, IIRC this is the SECOND time they're re-doing everything. That said I far prefer people who patiently wait for the impossible.
Third time since it was posted here, supposedly it's been at least four overall.
If only. The developers are in the middle of yet another complete rebuild of it, this time switching from Java to Godot.
The deck save function keeps breaking the game, and while in the dungeon if you skip ahead and start a battle it also breaks, and that would make y mad especially if it happened multiple times on the last battle before ending the dungeon at the third floor!!!!
It's had an engine rebuild at least that many times, too. And now they're doing it again. It's hard to finish a race if you keep doing an about-face halfway through.

There is still hope. Wait and hope.
