It's about time for a progress report on Venture Seas! We've been working hard to get the new dungeon system in place, as well as various improvements throughout the game.
All of the following images show 'Work in Progress' content.

You can now scout for expedition events, and choose the most favorable path through a zone, depending on your current goal (finding new weapons, treasures, etc...) 'starred' events will also allow revisiting of sex scenes within dungeon, to replace sex scenes on combat defeat (so less chance of missing any lewd content) Toxxy is also working on updating the user interface artwork for the new systems.
We started with a rough concept of the new map system, which is now almost fully functional in terms of coding. But we are now experimenting with the interface visuals.

The new zone selection feature allows you to choose from randomly generated zones, which each provide rewards from preset loot trees. The 'threat' system has been expanded into a 'dungeon levelling' system, which allows the player to juggle risk and reward to gain better loot and coin, at the threat of more difficult enemies and penalties during an expedition!

The combat system has undergone several major changes. All Rune effects have been completely reworked, and there are now twice as many runes!
Runes are also now shown as cards during combat. There is also a brand new 'armor' system, encouraging alternate ways to play.

We are adding new outfits and hairstyles to the character viewer, specifically goth / emo style clothes for a new coven of 'witches'.

Ash has been writing new dating content / character development for the main characters, and we have a new animator (LustFire) who is improving many of the old animations in the game.

As well as designing the new interface artwork, Toxxy has been busy drawing cultural elements for the central continent, and a priestess character which will be introduced in a future update. Here are some progress shots as the concepts develop!

Sin has been working on new environment artwork for the 'modern style' Asterian city, which will allow lore-friendly venues that reflect real-life modern venues (coffee shops, gyms, offices etc...) to allow for much more varied potential for lewd encounters!

That's all for now, I hope you are as excited for the new update as we are to be making it! x
