Path of the Ory News

Achievements this Week/Jaws of Hell

A massive update with achievements, shift+tab Steam home and Steam Home controller support coming this week!

The rest of this update is not for younger audiences.

Jaws of Hell's Store Page is Finally Up!

Jaws of Hell was approved many years ago and I am finally ready to release it. This is the most emotional game/anything really, that I have ever worked on. Years ago after the Kickstarter for Path of the Ory and Maid of Venia was successful, the lead artist and my friend and former bandmate, Clark, took his life. My already aggressive drinking worsened quickly and everything in my life fell apart. Sober over 2 years now I am working to finish what Clark and I started.

* Path of the Ory will be worked on throughout the year with updates, expanded lands enemies and more. I was thinking about some seasonal events to do as well.

* Maid of Venia is my Baby! The Venia universe is something that I started in highschool with Clark and the band that we started.

*Jaws of Hell has music and more that come from the shared lose and trauma Clark and I endured. The story is told through music videos, an in game journal and the Hive talking to you.

* The Hive Pandemic is an epic game if I can get it all to work with multiple characters, play styles (fps, tps, first person story, third person fighting, flying, driving and more) and a comic book style story. Set to release this year but with everything that I want to do in Maid of Venia before and after release, I am probably pushing "The Hive Pandemic" to '26.

I will be finalizing Jaws of Hell over the next month leading up to it's release and then my focus is back on Maid of Venia. With MOV now set for October/November I should have netted an additional three months to develop MOV from what I had previously set up for myself.

Discord and better Steam chat if I can figure it out coming soon!
