Where is the green orb and how do I get it? I suspect it's in the fish port museum in the hole there, but when I interact, nothing happens. I'm stuck on this. Can someone help me?
have you interacted with the golem in the museum? cuz thats an important step
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Dear Vhiel, how can i fight with Frida or prove what she is Greed? And can i save Vemix from being fake jevel?
Aaaand last question. Can i save a hero of Rokkas from being statue ?
sorry for bad english
Oh, and I dont know exactly how do team chat can be accesed, I have the option in the option
Hey, I love tthe game, but i finished it (one route i think, but 3 endings) and I dont know how to acces the dlc, thought i have it, what can I do?
Is there any way to acces it in game world?
Loved the game and the update(still not finish). Great work !
I would love the steam achievement to be incorporated directly in the game or the next game you make like the status journal and the others journals (maybe i missed it and didn't see it).
Thanks again for the great update !
Thank you, glad you're enjoying the game!
I might implement in-game achievements along with the Steam ones in future games! I'd even say it's likely, but I don't want to make any promises.
I was still early in the game with only 5 characters when I heard about this. I was going to finish the base game before I get this dlc. I just installed it and my save files which I spent 60 more hours on became outdated with an instability warning.. Because it's an expansion I thought it would be added to the end of the base game content.
If I knew about this, I would have bought this right away and restarted my progress. I didn't see any warnings about save file incompatibility on this page.
This is probably my favorite fetish game of all time, so I'm happy to replay the game from the start. Maybe it's better that I played it the way I did.. My next run will be much more interesting with the expansion, after all.
I'm absolutely dying to know what your next masterpiece is gonna be! I wish for Odyssey of Gianna to go on endlessly.
Thank you very much! Apologies about the save - that's the issue with overwriting files directly, always best to make backups!
I've been at work on my next project, hope to share a teaser sometime fairly soon!
Oh my god this is the best news!! I'm so excited to know there will be more content from you!
I need help completing the Mage University dungeon. I obtained the Grimoire but cannot find which tile to interact with
Does anyone know what the third new dungeon is? I have access to Urvek and completed Da Vici's Villa
Hidden dungeon in the magic academy, you can access it by talking 2 or 3 times to the professor who sell magic books, she will tell you to investigate something.
Any updates on the Steam version? The last we heard was it was likely going to be the first week of May but that's long past now.
I do not know how to fix a member from a wine tap. The journal says “the subject's associated magitek panel” but I have no idea of that.
From the room with the winetaps, there is another room all the way to the right. In there you need to interact with two objects (there is a hint as to which ones elsewhere in the villa) to unlock another secret room. In there is where you can rescue any party members.
Hey, I am getting a black screen if I fight Giorgia in the secret room after I beat the other girl in that same room. I can open the menu but can't move or leave the room. Looks like a bug to me
Worked around that only by reloading a save until she went for the guard instead, then I discovered another bug: I couldn't move after the bed end until I teleported somewhere else (and the villa was reset, but not fully, the guard-key doors were still open so I just went to the harder option of the boss fight straight away)
Hello. I am trying to find the new party member and I think that she is in Villa da Vici. How do I free her and add her to my team?
Re-posting my response to someone else who asked basically the same thing:

Hey I think I've discovered a fairly big bug that has actually prevented me from progressing as of now.
Apparently, after the Villa infiltration, if you happen to save at one of the one-time-use restoration points, it puts the game back into the state of infiltrating and won't let you save on that file again.
This wouldn't be too big of an issue... if I wasn't a bit dumb and only used 1 save file. Since I did, and I saved over it with that one use point, I have broken the save feature and can't anymore. Great work with the whole rest of the game otherwise.
So good news on this actually. The bug I found isnt as big and disruptive as I originally though. As a hail mary i decided to see what getting a bad end would do, and it reset whatever trigger that was preventing me from saving and made everything go back to normal. So while this is a thing to maybe keep an eye on, it luckily wasnt nearly as disruptive as i initially thought.
The endless loop bug fixed in 4.1 does not seem to be fixed. :(
Ah well. Excellent game, I can wait.
Sorry about that! There were a few more cases of that I hadn't caught, but that bug should be completely fixed in the newest release, 1.3.
Awesome, thank you.
I had this game on DLsite too but I guess that version's long dead :p
Yeah, sorry about that, DLSite wanted me to comply with Japanese censor laws and I did, but they rejected the game without telling me what image(s) didn't meet the requirements, so I was unable to update the game without that feedback. Apologies!
Steam version coming or can this be applied to the steam version?
I'm currently waiting on Valve's review process to complete but yes, it's coming to Steam! It can't be applied to the Steam data yet, however, as that version is on 3.5 instead of 4.0 currently.
I had actually come back here to talk about bugs I had found. But its been so long since I had purchased, I found that I'm a full version behind AND there's now DLC. Talk about a surprise. I'm choosing to believe that the bugs have been fixed, but I'll keep an eye out for them just in case.
Thank you for keeping an eye out! You can comment here if you like, or you can stop by the Discord server where there's a dedicated bug reporting forum.
No problem! I'll be honest, I should have known earlier that the DLC is out since the Runes of Pandemonium team promoted it on their devblog, and I follow that closely.
How do you extract the DLC to the main game
There should be instructions on the download page, but I'll copy and paste them:
TO INSTALL:
1. Download "Odyssey of Gianna Venture Forth.rar."
2. Use an archive manager program, such as WinRar to extract the files.
3. Extract to the "Odyssey of Gianna" folder. When asked to overwrite files, say YES to all of them.
4. Run "Odyssey of Gianna Launcher.exe" from that folder.
If the installation was successful, the title screen should have a new design and the game's window name should say "Odyssey of Gianna: Venture Forth" plus the version number and a letter representing your chosen difficulty setting. (It may show an incorrect name for a moment; wait and it should correct itself.)
I was struggling with step three. Im new to computers so im kinda dumb.
quick question, given some of the new lore dropped in the new areas will this be updated with new content down the line?
Not exactly, RPG Maker is actually crashing under Gianna's weight, so the current plan is to take what would have been DLCs 2 and 3 and turn them into Odyssey of Gianna 2 eventually.
Cool, game is awesome and would definitely like to see more of this world.
Thank you very much~!
i hope it gets put on steam.. i have the game on steam already
Sorry about that! I've run into some issues with Valve's review process. I wrote some more info on it here: https://vhiel.itch.io/venture-forth/devlog/723543/odyssey-of-gianna-venture-fort...
what about the DLC could even cause valve to not wanna put it on steam? lemme tell you, whatever it is, it can't be worse than some of the games that actually are up on steam, probably even now!
Nothing could be worse than this horrid mess that somehow steam allows to still be on there: View at your own peril!!
I mean, I had bought the game on steam, but I almost felt bad paying ten dollars? This game is worth more. So buying it again just to buy the DLC comes out to like 25 dollars total. I'm fine with paying that much for this game.
Aw, thank you very much!! I hope the DLC is good enough to live up to that!
Is there like a certain point you need to get to in order to access dlc?
Not exactly, there are three main areas spread around the map. One is actually right where you start!
is this stand alone or with the base game?
You'll need to have the base game in the new 4.0 update in order to play this content. https://vhiel.itch.io/odyssey-of-gianna
is there any like bundle for both?
Not yet, though the base game is currently on sale!
Omg it's finally here!! Absolutely adored the base game and I've been checking the discord every week since I heard about the update.
Huge props for all the time and effort you've put into this amazing game Vhiel. Looking forward to starting a new save with the DLC!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope it manages to meet your expectations!
Will it be available through steam like the base game?
Not currently, unfortunately, but I'm expecting Valve to finish reviewing the game within the first week of May. I'll also send you a Steam key if you buy the game here and send me a message on Discord, you can read about it here: https://vhiel.itch.io/venture-forth/devlog/723543/odyssey-of-gianna-venture-fort...
WOAHHH! Can't wait for it. I really love OoG. With this dlc it will be my 4rth playtrough. Thank you for your work^^
Ah, that's great to hear~! Thank you for playing, I think you'll like what Venture Forth adds!
I wanted to make a DLC for this game but I didn't want to like jump into yet until I knew there was no DLC for the future. But now, as soon as this DLC comes out, I will be able to add this to the mod and really expand on it.
That's exciting to hear!! If you had any questions about modding or wanted to see what other modders are working on for the game, feel free to stop by the Discord and chat with them! https://discord.gg/B5JwPBa
new partymember? hope its vemix... it kinda sucks they just get turned into in item to be sold... i mean the way vemix fights in their boss fight would be neat to see translated to the players side too.
I love this game so so much!
Thank you~! I hope you'll enjoy Venture Forth just as much!
Yes i love your games!
Thank you very much~!
when is the release date? I need to set it up and have spare time to play this
Not set quite yet, but I'm expecting it to be done before the end of April!
this look nice
Thank you~!
i did notice when i clicked view all this said 5$ do people who own the base game need to buy the expansion to play it or no?
Yep! It's essentially DLC, so that's the pricetag for it.
well once i have a gift card to use i will definitely get it
