Venture: The Simulation

Venture: The Simulation is a game similar to Venture, albeit lacking certain features. These include different (and by extension, lower-quality) graphics and models, music, and other elements.

Synopsis
After obtaining video footage of some of Planet Venture's landscapes, Innovation J has hired a group of software developers to create a simulation of a Venturian's travels across the regions. While certainly not pretty, The Venture Simulation gives a basic feeling of how to eliminate threatening creatures and how likely survival is.

Gameplay
The game plays fairly similarly to the LEGO video games, although it has many differences as well. At the beginning of each level, the player character is given weapons and tools that will help them through the level. Combat is done differently than most other games, using the keyboard to perform attacks. However, this feature can be toggled off, which will have attacks default to the "slash/smash/punch" move. Levels have different objectives, such as reaching a location, eliminating all hostiles, and defending endangered species.

Brendan's mantra for the gameplay of Venture: The Simulation is that it is "plays like an older LEGO game (think LEGO Star Wars 1, not LEGO Harry Potter), but with no building elements, fewer puzzles, and the inclusion of a crafting mechanic".

Behind the Scenes

 * The game’s creation was decided on after an extended period of Brendan worrying about and eventually doubting whether the base Venture: 1e could be developed and end up successful by 2029. However, a version very similar to (if not the same as) 1e will be released about one or two decades later.
 * A similarily scaled-down version of Venture, Lionheart, will be created before Venture: The Simulation.
 * With help from Croc, Brendan decided to make the game have both a Hard Sci-Fi and Prehistoric theme.
 * The game will initially be released with one level, and more will be added over time. Players’ feedback will help steer the game’s direction.

Trivia

 * Unlike Venture: 1e, red blood is present in Venture: The Simulation. It will also be included in Darklight, a Venture spinoff.
