From glossydon:

I've recently been given an opportunity to work semi-professionally, which may take an odd number of days out of my week to work on Ventury. I will continue to work on this game in my spare time, as I have.
Outside of that, development has been enjoyable for me again. Coding little details into the game was very refreshing.
The Godot community's reception to the project has also been heartwarming. Anyone who frequents voice channels in the official server have probably seen me.
Thoughts about what I might do for a first-playable demo have crept into my mind, though I think it might be still too early to jump into that. It may be a while before that, but when I judge the timing to be right, it'll be done.
I will keep up with the game. In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the quick little mock-up dungeon, accessible from the playground!
