Steam Summer Sale - Artist Replacing AI

[p]Steam summer sale is finally here! New voice actor joining the game. Maxwell Allen is an extremely talented character actor and is going to take on replacing some of the voice acting for both Path of the Ory and Maid of Venia. [/p][p][/p][p]Maxwell and I go back to our days in high school and I recently reached out to him about joining the games. He always wanted to do voice work and actually tried to make it in performance wrestling for a while, which he would have been great for.[/p][p][/p][p]I also reached out to the guitarist from Kings of Metropolis, who is an incredible musician and musical mind in general... Possibly the best musician I have worked with. [/p][p][/p][p]New update coming this weekend. [/p][p][/p][p]If you are an artist interested in replacing any of my cutscene art, that was done by AI, please reach out. We can work out revenue sharing. If Path of the Ory or Maid of Venia take off then I will replace all of the art with upfront payments to artist, but I can only afford rev sharing currently. None of the pixel art is AI. [/p][p][/p][p]I was on The SWW Show if you want to learn more about me.[/p]

Currently we are working 1.3 and will have some fixes to do before adding more in.

1.3 added

  • A new island called Black Star Island
  • New enemies including the Dark lord was added in 1.2
  • an extended ending
  • more music
  • new lore and stories that set up and define the Venia universe.


  • Listen to how Thistledown lost it's name to the Humans
  • the Ages of Man
  • Steam City and the Mud-elves


Added achievements and a Steam overlay workaround.

I am new to achievements and Steamworks period. I added a workaround for the Steam overlay that lets you access friends list by pressing Shift+F or achievements Shift+Tab. I had to do this because Path of the Ory is built with a browser based engine and keeps blocking the Steam overlay. Thank you guys for the support! and check out the Maid of Venia Playtest.
