Embark on a thrilling adventure as Maid of Venia, wielding powerful weapons and unlocking new abilities in Starving Lama Games' action RPG. Defend your homeland against goblin hordes and the enigmatic Witch of the Wasteland.
About this game
Maid of Venia is an action RPG adventure where you step into the armor of a red-haired warrior sworn to the Belt’s service, tasked with protecting the land of Venia from encroaching threats. But as you fulfill your sacred duties, you’ll uncover unsettling truths about your mission. Are you truly serving justice, or is there a hidden hand guiding your fate?
Choose Your Path
At the start of your journey, you must decide your combat style. Will you embrace the destructive power of fire as a Fire Mage, raining down flames upon your foes? Or will you take the path of the Summoner, calling forth spectral allies to fight by your side? Each choice alters your abilities, shaping the way you approach combat and the challenges ahead.
A World Steeped in Mystery and Magic
Venture through a beautifully crafted world teeming with both wonder and danger:
Thistledown, a hidden Elven town nestled in the towering silverwood trees, is home to ancient scholars, artisans, and rangers who protect their sacred lands from outsiders. It is a place of both wisdom and caution—where you may find powerful enchantments or wary allies unwilling to meddle in human conflicts.
Havenbay, a bustling coastal city, serves as a gateway to adventure. Here, you can catch a boat to perilous islands overrun by pirates and goblins, uncovering lost relics and forgotten ruins amidst the treacherous waves. But beware—some ships that sail from Havenbay never return.
Six grand kingdoms or towns to explore with unique quests and characters.
The Queen’s Deception & The Witch’s Influence
As you battle goblins, dragons, and the formidable Witch of the Wasteland, an even darker plot begins to unravel. The Queen herself may be behind a sinister scheme, conspiring with the Witch to manipulate your destiny. Through powerful magic, the Witch casts a spell that convinces you that your god is speaking directly to you—guiding your path, commanding your battles, and whispering of divine purpose. But is it truly your god’s voice? Or are you merely a pawn in the Queen’s war?
Dynamic Combat and Growth
Level up and customize your character, unlocking new skills, spells, and combat techniques.
Wield powerful weapons unique to your chosen class, from flaming swords to spectral staves.
Face epic enemies, including cunning goblin warlords, fire-breathing dragons, and the deceptive Witch of the Wasteland.
Explore a historically inspired fantasy world, drawing inspiration from the legend of Joan of Arc, known as the Maid of Orleans.
Your journey in Maid of Venia is more than just a battle for survival—it’s a quest for truth, where faith, fate, and deception intertwine. Will you uncover the Queen’s hidden agenda before it’s too late? Or will you march blindly into a war shaped by lies? The choice is yours.

Joan of Arc
Maid of Venia is an Ode to Joan of Arc! The story and lessons that Joan inspires is a big part of why we started Maid of Venia years ago. If you are new to Maid of venia - Years ago after a successful kickstarter for the beta; my friend and artist for the series took his life. His wife left him after years of struggling with drinking. Clark and I toured in a band for years and I am now solo developing the games. I also use AI for music. I am a lifetime musician, a pianist, guitarist and I am okay at singing but I have to use a lot of autotune. AI - if you are going to give me trouble about using tools to compete with companies 100 times my size and budgets that are more than I will ever make then you better not be supporting those same AI companies. This includes companies that use AI but have the means to pay people - Which is basically every app you have or product you use - Or companies that take data to train - which is every social media. If you use anything Meta, X, TikTok then you support AI, if you posted your art on those platforms then it trained AI. If you posted music on SoundCloud then it was used by AI or YouTube and so on. If you voted for Trump then you voted for this. But if you are so lost that you can't see that AI is not the problem but the slow consolidation of power through wealth then I am sorry for you. I am sorry that you are buying into the lies and misdirection. If you can not see our capitalism turning into a monetary feudal system then you need to look harder. Please look at the swamp of monopolies forming in Washington. Please read "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith.Read full article on Community Announcements (Starving Lama)AnnouncementsOfficial

But at what cost? Her childhood friend Lola had a blackened soul and her childhood crush was turned to ash by the fire from inside of her.Read full article on Community Announcements (Starving Lama)AnnouncementsOfficial
Demo
The demo is live but it is an early look demo and not what the final product will look like. Maid of Venia is in development and you can join the playtest as I build the game!Maid of Venia is a solo developed project and I use every tool available to get the work done. This is a no budget project with a limited Kickstarter that was successful for the beta build which is almost ready. Current state is somewhere between alpha and beta as parts of the game are more complete/tested but a few things need to be redone before I would consider us in full beta testing. The demo has issues and will be updated this week. After I update the demo I will add everything to the playtest and then we will do our sword and xp boost quest so don't miss out.Read full article on Community Announcements (Starving Lama)AnnouncementsOfficial
Vote
I owe you an apology for the delay in updates. The truth is, there are bigger things happening right now that demand our attention.We are living through a time where cracks in our political system are showing — everywhere. Corruption, gridlock, and money in politics have weakened faith in both parties. But alongside the usual dysfunction, there are also darker echoes of history: strongman tactics, disinformation, leaders putting themselves above law, and movements that normalize hate and division. These are patterns we’ve seen before in the rise of authoritarianism.What matters most is this: our votes are one of the last guardrails of democracy. Every ballot is a defense against authoritarianism. Every ballot is a refusal to give up freedom and truth.Please, make sure you’re registered, make a plan, and show up. Even if you don’t feel inspired by the choices, remember that history is full of moments when people stayed home — and authoritarianism filled the vacuum. Vote republicans out... All of them. We can no longer have this administration in power and Republicans have proven to be spineless. Midterms are coming and are important. If republicans stay in power... America will be lost forever. I’ll be back soon with more updates, but right now, nothing matters more than showing up, speaking out, and refusing to be silent.Read full article on Community Announcements (Starving Lama)
