Beta 2 OUT NOW!
Please restart Steam if the update does not automatically show up for you.
Vibrant Venture Beta 2.0 is now out!
The main attraction is the brand-new World 3 bonus level that takes you on a minecart journey through the valleys and depths of Lonely Lunaria!
This level can be found in the new part of the World 3 Map.
The Pet Maker has also received a facelift and now looks consistent with the rest of the game user interfaces and Level Builder menus.
Furthermore, you can now equip more than one upgrade at a time!
Inside the shop in the World Map, you can purchase an additional upgrade slot, allowing you to combine upgrades. Through experimentation, you can find optimal combinations to help you on your journey. Of course, you could also equip two conflicting upgrades if you want to handicap yourself for some reason!
This update also includes a new secret level in World 2, which can be found in the World 2 Map. Now there's a secret level in both World 1 and World 2!
In regards to the future of the game, the next update is going to focus primarily on polishing and updating the game, as we are getting closer to the full release! We're already working on Beta 3.0 and will be publishing a few videos on our YouTube channel over the next few weeks showcasing some of the new features coming in Beta 3.0.

We will be teaming up with the Yogscast for the 12th annual Jingle Jam to help raise money for charity!
Jingle Jam is the world's biggest charity gaming event coordinated by the Yogscast which starts on December 1st and runs for 2 weeks. During these two weeks, the Jingle Jam raises money through livestreams on Twitch. Anyone who donates $35 or more will be given a collection of games in return, which includes Vibrant Venture this year!
You can read more about the event here.
To further show our commitment to help less fortunate people, we've been working hard on adding a new mode to Vibrant Venture that should make the game accessible to everyone, even those who suffer from disabilities; we are happy to present Assist Mode!
