Venture Seas changes
We've got a massive list of changes, for the new iteration of the game. I've focused on fixing as many bugs as possible (focusing on the most annoying/game-breaking stuff first), but also adding a lot of slick additions to improve overall gameplay and comfort.
If you wish to play this build, make sure to switch your game version to the Steam Beta Branch!
We aim to push this game version to the main branch as soon as possible! So we can work on releasing the new dungeon content,
This is why I ask for a CALL TO ARMS for all you kind players to test this version of the game and report your bugs to me for fixin'.
The best way to report bugs is to create a text document of all issues/bugs you discover, and send that file in the appropriate discord channel. Official Community Discord!
Thanks again for your support
