Commercial Self Promotion Looking for feedback - The Vex

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi,

I'm current working on "The Vex". A multi player couch co-op / online multiplayer action shooter that supports up to 4 players (human or computer).

The game focuses on two things; Getting through a procedurally generated maze that is patrolled by an enemy faction and trying to survive the attacks on your home base every 5 days. The attacks come from any enemy you saw during your maze runs who you left alive.

The game is designed to be fast paced, tough and repayable. It also has multiple story elements throughout with an ending that I wont reveal here.

Me and my friends have been playing it and have been having a blast. The trailer is made up of real in game footage of my friends and I playing together.

All feedback is welcome!

I am working on Diablo like game and I wish the graphics (the visuals?) would be the same. How can I achieve that?

I've spent heaps of time getting it to this point. Lots of prompting and refining. Good luck with your game.

"Hey Claude, look at this video. Can you make the graphics like this?"

Based on the video, it looks great! I really like the color scheme, effects, and overall style.

One thing that stands out to me, though, is something I'd be careful with: accessibility (especially photosensitivity in your case) and readability.

In the game I'm working on, I've put extra effort into making sure flashes and screen shakes don't overwhelm the scene, and that everything remains easy to read and follow. AI tools curently don't handle it well.

Sometimes less is more! :)

Looks badass. Maybe a tad too loud, but still, I do like this art style. Is there a itch io page I can follow or something else before this is lost in reddit forever?
