Venture Seas – Build Release Bug
Trying to release today’s build, and everything works fine in my coding software when testing the game. But when I export the build and try and run it… My brain is too fried to deal with this critical error right now (I think it might even be an issue with the framework I use rather than my fuck-up) I’ll try fix it or workaround it and release tomorrow, sorry folks!
Erotic (Eventually) Mention – Memory Trees
Have been talking with a developer about their project ‘Memory Trees’ which is planned to be a farming sim, similar to Harvest Moon and created in the 3D Unity Engine. There isn’t really much content in the demo, but there are some base systems. What caught my eye was the visuals, beautiful art by Estra, pleasant looking interface and cute 3D models/textures. There currently isn’t any adult…
Hey all! Apologies for not posting as much about the game as I should, so here’s a little progress update. I’ve added 13 new runes to the combat system, and updated the enemy AI to use them somewhat effectively. I’ve been trying out some interesting combat additions, such as: Spawning a creature (wolf, slime etc) using runes to fill any empty part slot Much more ‘defenses’ (to be renamed), which…

A new nighttime encounter in the town of Kharish, where you can watch some ‘Futa on Futa’ action from the shadows (featuring animated…
Venture Seas – Slight Build Delay
I have underestimated how much time I’d need to implement new scenes (viewing futa sex in alley, and a quest-line for dating Tiana). The additions have caused some new minor bugs that I’d prefer to fix before release. I will release on Monday (3rd July) instead, apologies to the players who may have been hoping to play today.

New alpha build available (expect bugs and unfinished features): Game Downloads (Scroll to ‘Game Download Links’) Changelog Link More crash bugs squashed, as well as general issues that negatively affected the game-play.

Aurelia animated sex scenes have been added for a submissive footjob, or dominative handjob/oral sex, with animations for male and female (herm will use male animated loops). Each sex scene features dialog with dynamic text that should be unique to your player character. I’ve also written and added a scene leading up to the sex, with some of your choices saved (for future consequences!). And I’ve…
Venture Seas – Device Specific Crashes
I was looking to release a ‘crash fix’ build this week, (the major crash fix would be the town center/quest board crash) but I’m still having problems fixing a crash that only occurs on certain devices when trying to load character images. Going to delay ‘crash fix’ build release in hopes I can also fix this issue also! please get in touch if you are getting a crash unrelated to the quest board /…
Erotic Mention – My Sister Mia (Inceton Games)
Been a while since I’ve mentioned other h-games on here, but I really should shout-out other similar developers more often. Inceton Games asked me to check out their game for a cross promotion, so I tried out ‘My Sister Mia’. The Game is built in RPG-maker with 3D pin-ups shown in-game throughout the story. It features incest as a prominent theme with a blonde, bimbo sister as the love interest.…

Weekly Update – More Coding, Website Improvements
You may have noticed some visual changes to the website! I’ve updated my social media to use the promotional banner artwork and hopefully connect better with each other (fixed broken links and such). Nothing much to report on beyond bug fixing, specifically those that crash the game. I did make some quick edits to Vinthal’s face to match the recent banner artwork. I think he looks somewhat more…
Weekly Update – Aurelia Slimed
Spent the previous week creating some sex artwork for Aurelia. If her party is defeated by Emerald Slimes, your player character will be pinned and forced to watch as the gooey creatures explore Aurelia’s body, inside and out. I initially planned this to be a set of artwork stills, to be clicked through with dialogue… but I drew so many variations (clothes on and off, slime bloating, tentacles…
Weekly Update – Promotional Artwork
Spent the previous week drawing up some promotional artwork and sketching other things for the game, here is a new banner of the 4 main adventurers; Kari, Aurelia, Mehande and Vinthal. I’ve also been on a serious hunt for artists and have been contacting many talented people to help out with the project! My plans for this week is to draw various kinky pin-ups and sexual artwork stills to slip…
These are the new UI bars which show character respect and attraction. At first glance, they seem like they would be simple to create, but it was a small nightmare. First of all, getting the bar to start at -100, 0 centered, and 100 max was not supported by LibGDX (LibGDX is the framework that Venture Seas is built upon, similar to how Unity is a framework). As a workaround however, I managed to…
Venture Seas – Progress Build – 5.5.0

Weekly Update – Dungeon Goals and Tokens
My general development aim again is to keep refining elements of the game to get it ready to show off / market in demo form. Working to make dungeon effects functional (poison clouds for zones, increased event risks etc), as well as dungeon goals (tasks you can complete in a zone). Completing a goal or earning in-game achievements will award ‘tokens’ which will be a alternate currency used to buy…
I’m feeling a lot healthier and on prescription painkillers, so I was back in full flow for work over the last week. Got the bulk of the politics system added, which allows special scenes to trigger when travelling across the map, where crew members with expect a choice to be made about ship policies or personal relationships. These choices will create a temporary or permanent change to certain…
I’ve been in constant pain since last Monday which has caused hindrance to my work (neck,shoulder,right arm,stabbing pain in right shin) but just got back from doctor today with suspected nerve issues in my neck :’( I’m awaiting appointment with Physiotherapy, but got some strong painkillers in hopes that I can focus better on coding with my left hand (I’ll likely be able to draw this month…
Venture Seas – Progress Build – 5.4.0

Added the basis of the brothel system this month, reworked all the main characters into the new optimized loading system (which also supports…
Venture Seas – Weekly Progress
Nothing much to report from last week (specifically don’t have any interesting visuals to show off). The task I gave myself last week was to add more functionality for the brothel system, as well as create a stable save system, so there was a lot of coding towards that but no completion. I did some testing of existing features, which led me to run into a lot of new issues/bugs. This specifically…
Venture Seas – Brothel System Progress
Just a weekly update to mention that the bare bones of the brothel system are implemented. You are now presented with 3 options for whores to hire when docking in a town, of which a panel shows you the details of each whore. I’ve also created limits to the random generation of the paperdoll system (character viewer). These limits will check the intended race and prevent a lot of unusual…
Venture Seas – Prostitution Musings
Just a quick update to say that I’ve finished adding the new Spine animation system to the characters in game, further reducing the heavy strain on the initial game loading. In combination with the latest ‘PaperDoll’ system rework, this should stop any crashes on startup related to memory issues from now on. I’m also forcing myself to take a more focused approach to developing, creating strict…
Venture Seas – Progress Build – 5.3.0
New alpha build available (expect bugs and unfinished features): Game Downloads (Scroll to ‘Game Download Links’) Changelog Link I hope everyone had enjoyable holidays and a great new year! :) A unexpected focus on what I worked on this month. I started out by creating an improved inventory system to categorize items by type and show their information better, as well as the ability for…
Venture Seas – Launch Crashes Solved
After recent testing and with the help of players, I’ve determined the common launch crashes (where the console mentions a random .png image as the cause) is due to memory issues on certain hardware. A temp fix is to export a separate build with lower resolution textures and lower quality audio files, but I plan to optimize the assets (likely a little bit with each build) in hopes that everyone…
Just a quick post to say that I’ve added MEGA as a method to download game builds.
Venture Seas – Progress Build – 5.2.0

Chapter 1 has been shortened and edited (with a few new scenes) to allow the player to reach the gameplay systems a lot quicker. I cut…
Still terrible at remembering to actually talk about my progress during the month, but here goes :) For the most part, I’ve been organizing my focus lately to better provide a ‘vertical slice’ to how the game is intended to play out, rather than build too much upon future proofing bigger systems. Image Source With this in mind, I’ve reworked chapter 1’s progression to be quicker to reach the…
