Vanisha - DANYL - retro twin stick shooter with puzzle elements and a narrative

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X861ncGstbc

Demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4555270/Vanisha/

I've been working on Vanisha for about a year and a half, releasing in October on Steam. Between combat runs are short Sokoban-inspired puzzle rooms that break up the pace. There's a talent tree, equippable cards that warp your stats, and multiple ships types that change the way you play, and much more in the full game

At this point I'm really just looking for any feedback on the demo or trailer. Thank you!

Art I made for one of my games as a newbie pixel artist

Not nearly as good as some of the other stuff I see on here though, was just happy because I don't normally do this and was able to make something nice looking

The artist we paid $1,000 swore the art for our game Vanisha was their own wok, but something feels off? I'm not sure

Open-sourced the skill tree generator I built for Vanisha (retro space shooter)

The skill tree I made in Vanisha initially went through many, many iterations which took up a ton of time. I got the idea to make a seeded layout generator to save time, but as you can maybe guess I ran into a new problem of getting something that felt natural. Anyway, over many iterations and attempts I finally landed on something I was happy with that felt good to play and progress through

Vanisha is on its way to launch in October now and I figured I'd just open source some of the tools I used to work on it

The tool ships mainly as-is, with some edits made to generalize it and remove game-specific properties. The intention is that while it offers a good foundational way to generate a skill tree, a dev would likely want to modify it for their own use case

I just finished up updating everything including all of the visuals, audio, and promo materials and would love to get some feedback on the updated demo. Vanisha is set to launch in October, so plenty of time to iron it out some more

Hi, we are looking for feedback on our game demo. The trailer displayed here and on steam is old and quite different from the current state visually
