March 2015

Pardon me....I want to say that I love the look of your game so far but I have a question! Do you plan to implement any male followers that are for the ladies? Ah, and if you are, would you be willing to take volunteer writers or artists? Keep up the good work and I wish your project all the best!

A roguish, bisexual male adventurer will be added to the game yeah! This month coming, I will paying others with the project funding to help out with the project. If people think they match the art quality consistantly (or better than what I’ve done so far) I will happily commission those people :)

Any volunteers are welcome to send examples of their work to me, and I’ll say whether I’d find their style suited to the game. I will be dedicated to keeping consistancy in quality, so a please dont feel hurt if I decide not to enlist your help as a content creator :O My decisions are all to make the game as good as it can be! :)

Venture Seas - First Build

I spent today cleaning up my progress so far so I could release the first build before claiming the first Patreon payment on Monday 23rd.

All content this month was created without commissioned help as a full-time endeavour (as no money for said commissioning has been claimed) so there is far more coding completed than visual assets.

I made a quick ‘visual story based’ runthrough of the major features implemented, but there are many things I could not include in this runthrough (due to the game systems being non-visual in nature)

The first build can be downloaded from the link below, in.jar format (requires Java to run, future builds will be available in HTML5 format also once I get a webserver running):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4645179/Venture%20Seas/Patreon/Alpha%20Builds/Alpha%201.0.0.zip

I understand many aspects of this release are unrefined (and possibly even buggy in places) but the game is still at a very VERY early stage and I feel people need ‘something’ to check out at least once a month ;)

These builds will become private to Patreon supporters once a public demo is created. This should allow people to choose to pledge (or remove their pledge) based on the progress of the game over the next few months :)

Don’t forget that you can email me at any time with questions and such at: switch101010@gmail.com

EDIT: Just to clarify, this is merely a ‘progress’ build, it isn’t fun or very playable at this stage until more features are added and refined :O

First Month - Final Week

This is the last week of Venture Seas first month before claiming the first patreon payment :) I’ve been working full-time hours on the game prototype and organising many other things related to the startup and my self-employment.

There will be a public alpha release this month to all interested in the project. Eventually these public releases will form into a public demo as time goes on, then the game will enter private builds for donators/dedicated supporters only.

Most of the work has been programming for this month but I’m spending this week to replace placeholder graphics and some more coding. There will be banebones of some major systems, such as functioning dialogue, combat runthrough, dungeon progress, animated sex scene test and some example events.

Code is being organized with mod support in mind from the very start, but no mods will be able to be created until each major system is completed (as every mod would likely need updates with each newly released build)

No extra helpers were employed this month as no payment has been claimed yet for the game development, but next month should involve more artwork and media as I commission some content  :)

The first release will be this Friday 20th. Being the first release however, expect bugs, placeholder assets and limited playable content. This is more of a ‘progress update’ build so people can experience what I’ve been creating so far.

Any further questions, always feel free to contact me directly at: switch101010@gmail.com

#Venture Seas #Update
VAT Updatepatreon.com

digitalero:

3/11/15 Creators and patrons! I’m Chelsea with Ops at Patreon. I am working on our VAT research and solution. Thank you, again, for your patience. Here’s a quick VAT update: Good news! Patreon will handle the collection, filing, and remittance of VAT payments on behalf of our creators. The cost of VAT will be carried by EU patrons. As always, thank you for your patience and feedback. Patreon has your #vatmess covered so you can do what you do best: create. 

Sorted! No need to worry about that crap anymore!

Looks like Patreon has came to a solution over the VATMOSS stuff :) Great news for so many creators!
