--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm compelled to explain why this particular update took an unusually long time to be released.
The TL;DR of it is that I had been suffering from a debilitating mental depression from an unclear physical cause, which I believe I have now overcome after many lifestyle changes/experiments.
I feel inclined to apologize profusely to everyone who has supported the project to date, even if in retrospect, the depression turned out to be outside of my immediate control.
I have been a powerhouse of work and motivation for these past two weeks and am very hopeful that I'll be able to continue at this pace!
I'm very sorry that I left you all waiting so long for new content and fixes to Venture Seas. Moving forward, I'm genuinely excited to be working at my maximum ability/enjoyment again!
