About

Star Vortex is a hobby project I've been working on in my free time for years, trying to combine my love of single-player space shooters with classic ARPG item systems and skill trees.

All the artwork, programming, and game design are done by myself. You can build your ship from scratch using pre-defined parts, collect items, and come up with unique builds and synergies.

The free demo is available below and we're looking to enter Early Access in early Summer 2024.

Once near completion, I'm hoping to sell the game for a small one-time cost (on PC only to begin with). I'll continue to update it and hopefully release it cross-platform.

This game will never have in-game purchases or paid DLC.
