Why Early Access?

“Steam has proven to be supportive of adult games, and is a powerful platform.

Early access will allow Venture Seas to become established during the late stages of development.

Venture Seas is my full-time passion and has already grown so much alongside such a wonderful and supportive community. I work tirelessly for the day that I can call the project 'complete' and ship the game out with pride.

I accept constructive negative criticism with a very open mind, as I am dedicated to improving the player experience as much as possible. I also welcome positive comments of course to motivate me through the day :)

My ultimate goal for the game would be to nurture and support a modding community who may push the limits of the project further upon release. I'm very excited at the premise of the community pushing the capabilities of the game beyond the initial launch, and hope the players can enjoy the project to its full potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A hopeful estimate would be no more than 1 year. However the quality of the game will take priority over rushing to release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release will contain a finished main story, with full dating progression with every main character, as well as a reasonable amount of side content.

After full release, there will be an official release of tools and assets for potential modders to create more content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the 'About This Game' section for a list of existing features.

These major game systems have been implemented but require further balancing, visual refinement, and content.

Main story content is about 60% complete. Most artwork and visuals are in a finalised state. Some minor bugs are likely present, but major bugs will be prioritised in patches.

There is already enough content to keep players busy for about 10 - 30 hours. (estimation from testing reports)”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Price may increase upon full release, it is unknown at this current time.

This decision will depend on the quantity (and inherent quality) of the side content (quests, sexual content, additional game-play systems, items and clothing etc...)

Venture Seas has been a solo development passion project. I personally code, draw, write etc... and then commission skilled artists whenever they are available to help out.

If the project becomes popular in early-access, I'd hope to hire skilled artists full-time, which would naturally produce much more content.”
