"It's basically Dragon Quest meets depression, but with the choice to make a party of dogs." -Liberty.








Check out the Steam Page!






Lord Zadigan has summoned the dreaded Tower of Venaitura from the depths of the Dark World of Radunga and is using it to spread his evil influence across the the land! He has dispatched his finest combatants, the Six Purveyors of Doom, to retrieve the only six artifacts capable of stopping him.

Summon four Champions from the Realm of Heroes and lead them across Tsufana on a journey to thwart the malevolent Lord of Monsterkind. Shall you banish Zadigan and his vile conjurings back to Radunga in a bid to restore peace to the world forevermore? Or will the forces of darkness at long last overthrow the realm of light?




In this harrowing tale of Good VS Evil, you'll assemble a party of Four Champions from TWELVE available Character Classes and lead them on an arduous journey to topple Lord Zadigan's forces. You'll conquer six distinct lands wrought with monsters and other nefarious ne'er-do-wells as you aim to destroy the Six Purveyors of Doom and end the misery brought in their wake.



As it has always been, my latest project has taken a page from Dragon Quest/Warrior's book and focuses on the journey more so than the destination. Each continent and island you'll visit while traversing the vast world of Tsufana is complete with its own self-contained tale involving one of Zadigan's Purveyors of Doom and a Heavenly Artifact.

"Venaitura" builds heavily upon what I attempted with both "Dragon Fantasy 2" and "Dragon Fantasy: Heroes of Tsufana". Unlike its predecessors however, you're given free reign over how to assemble your party; the "Hero" class is no longer mandatory! There's also slightly more focus on the story and character interaction/dialogue than my other "retro/classic" projects, but the adventure and exploration will (as always) be at the forefront.

Oops! Forgot to respond to this comment, but that's awesome to hear! I hope you do give Venaitura a try someday! I'd truly appreciate the support. =)
This looks very charming. I've been playing FF1 Pixel remaster lately and I can't help but miss NES era graphics. This game might be just what I need!
Thanks SO MUCH, LIBBY!! So glad to hear! :D
Letting you know, you know your best girl player got the game on steam. Looking forward to finding some time to play, but WOOT! COngrats for completion and releation!
Decent and continual progress is being made on this game, but you'll find most updates to be posted over on our Discord server. It's much easier to pump out smaller updates in a chat-based setting, so if you're up for seeing what's really going on behind the scenes with VENAITURA, pop on over and say hello!
And the update is LIVE!

Not bothering to create a blog post notifying subscribers this time. A simple post like this should suffice!
I, TOO, AM FILLED WITH A HYPE BEYOND MEASURE!

The update should be out by... Wednesday? Or Thursday, maybe? I'm just hoping I don't need an update to fix the update, as per-usual. =P

Stand back. Artist at work. I paint with enthusiasm if not with talent.

Should have another fairly big update to this demo by the end of next week! I think it's in my best interest to keep this as polished and up-to-date as possible to give any future players a proper insight into how the full game's gonna look, feel, and play.

There's not going to be any additional story segments or areas, but there'll be quite a list of changes in regards to the game's dungeons and character classes.
Thanks! And I hope a lot more will have the same idea! :P
I’ll also add my “Quack” to that.

But a bit it excitement’s always welcomed :P

It's clearly a joke, seeing as Venaitura didn't win anything, my dude. Seriously... >.<;

If you're worried about it, you can clearly see all votes (which are tied to accounts) on the vote pages. And what's the point in cheating a win anyway? Wouldn't mean shit.

Also, funny you talking about unjust bannings when you're another alt of someone already banned. Adding even more time to that ban of yours. Seriously now.
I don't know what to think about this site's awards when the top brass are openly talking about vote-rigging. That's something the person in charge shouldn't joke about. As matters stand, the unjustified user bans that are characteristic for this site should already pose enough of a lawsuit risk. Nevertheless, I'm also confident that Venaitura will turn out as an excellent game.
Thanks! Second is better than not making the list at all!

I'm hoping this baby's gonna be published by the time the next Misaos take place, though. =P
And the full thing will win something, of that I'm pretty sure.








evenifihavetorigitmyselfmuahahahahahaha
Congrats Ephiam, second place is not bad, not bad at all. You deserve it.
Slightly updated the demo, because apparently I forgot a few things along the way. I think I'll be catching things forever at this rate!
Oh no?! You're supposed to show those punks that you're the GREATEST HUNTER(S) OF ALL TIME?!?!?
