[b]The Beta Branch for Venture Seas has updated with major fixes and tweaks[/b]! (See the changelog below) We've noticed more recent [b]negative Steam reviews[/b] since releasing the latest beta build, which are really harmful to our standing on Steam. The Beta builds are NOT intended to present the game in a state to be formally reviewed. Our intention was just to provide a 'hands on' method of seeing our progress, and get a glimpse of what we are aiming to accomplish (and get some valuable input from players!) We've also heard concerns about gameplay systems negatively impacting content and artwork creation, but this is not the case thankfully! We have artists working hard and have built up a backlog of content. Our focus after refining the gameplay will be almost entirely on content implementation / creation. [h3]Please consider taking the time to leave a Positive Steam Review at this current stage to support us[/h3] (It can always be changed in future if you do not enjoy the final release of Venture Seas) [u][b]Beta Changelog[/b][/u] [list] [*] Temp Fix: Converted all 'Manual' stat checks to 'Quick' stat checks [*] All stat checks should be about 20% easier to pass [*] Temp Fix: Increased all starting kits from 1 to 2 during an expedition [*] Temp Fix: Food can now be used to restore HP once again [*] Crewmen Classes are pending slight rework / condensing.
