I'm afraid I don't have any insight on how the app works exactly and if there's a way for me to alter the game to be more compatible with the app, I'm not aware of it. ^ ^;
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.
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.
I am sorry things work out this way but sadly RPG Maker is extremely non-save-friendly as an engine. I will be doing the beta version option on Steam, however, and this new download can be done without overwriting the old game files, so there should be no problems.
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.)
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.
Unfortunately most mods have been made incompatible with 4.0 and Venture Forth and will need to be updated by the mod authors, but you can still read up on them here:
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
There should be two download buttons on the page, one for the full version (3.01). You can also go to your games library, done by clicking on the arrow next to your name in the top right, then choosing "My library."
Thank you very much and I'm very glad you happened to come across it!
And yeah, I noticed that about the stat randomizer while testing, but it felt sort of in the spirit of "true randomness" to let then potentially zero out like that. I think I'll change that in a future update, though.
As for the future, I'm currently working on getting Gianna onto Steam and after that I'll be working on an expansion to the game adding new areas, statuses, bad ends, and more!
Yes unfortunately DLSite takes about 2-3 days to process updates, but I have uploaded it and it's being reviewed right now. Hopefully it will be there soon!
Well I'm actually going to be finished with 3.0 very soon. ^ ^; So it would probably be best for you to wait before continuing, but the translated dialogue itself should be relatively simple to copy over to the new RPG Maker project.
Yes, unfortunately this glitch was still present in this release after being reported and thought to be fixed prior, but was reported again. Apologies!! Thankfully, though, it has been fixed with the latest dev version of the game and won't be present for the full release of version 3.0.
As long as it allowed you to get the Green Jewel, the save should still be salvageable, but you'll need to use a secret space found across from the Blue Orb's pedestal in the Hall of Orbs in Gianna Castle. Interact with the wall opposite and you should get a prompt offering to restore any lost party members. Again, apologies for the inconvenience!
Hello and thank you very much for the support! Glad to hear you're enjoying the game!
If you haven't found it yet, there's a location in the western region of the world called the Seaside Chalet you can buy. Once you do, you can interact with teammates and propose if their attraction is high enough.
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying the game and the new features!
As for your points:
1) That's a fair point, although keep in mind that the Morph spell is always an option, especially with the Copy status. Limited cure options is part of the appeal of these modes, I'd say, but it's also true that having it happen to Lilina can be an unfortunate outcome. Perhaps a method to cure Lilina specifically could be added to avoid these sorts of roadblocks.
2) I agree that some tweaking may be in order (I've had multiple people report that the Chest of Maid Outfits is notoriously difficult to find depending on your RNG), though right now the availability of key items is 1-to-1, so since there are actually 15 Mask Fragments in the City of Mist, they do take a big chunk of them just given how far they outnumber other types. As for the stadium, that sounds like a bug, so I'll be taking a look at that.
3) The Laelaps have been in need of a nerf for a while, to be honest, so you can expect that to happen in both Normal and Hard. Pretty much all of these issues ties into the AI, which is tricky given what RPGM is capable of, even with plugins like the ones I use. But I'll be tweaking them as development advances and I'll fix the Slime+Mindbreak issue right away!
4)I've had some other people report this and I'm working on a solution. It seems to be related to her necklace flashing "move."
As of version 2.1, they should unlock automatically when you place them, but if you're using a transferred save from 2.0 where Orbs have already been placed, I'm afraid they're unobtainable for that playthrough.
