Hi everyone! I wanted to share my first game as a solo developer, ToSaVa 🦎🎨, which I recently released on Steam.
Beyond being my first solo-dev project, I set myself a very specific technical challenge in Unity:

❌ No keyframes or pre-made animations — everything that moves or deforms is driven purely by code
❌ No textures, sprites, or traditional UI
✅ All visuals are created using Shader Graph, including shapes, colors, feedback, and interface elements

The project started as an experiment to explore color theory (RGB, HSV, Lab) in an interactive way, combining my background as a teacher with game development. It ended up being a great excuse to dive deep into shaders, procedural visuals, and data-driven animation inside Unity.

It’s a small, non-commercial project, but a big learning experience for me. If anyone is interested, I’d be happy to write a postmortem covering the most interesting technical and design challenges (Shader Graph workflows, code-driven animation, limitations I hit, etc.).

I’ve been thinking a bit more about the arcade loop.

Right now, the game is a mix of training and survival. At the end of each run, you get your **total time **(as your score) and stars based on your 'Perfect Color Matches'.🎨 🦎

I’m debating whether to implement a Global HighScore Leaderboard, classic arcade style. On one hand, it could spark some healthy competition among artists; on the other, I’m not sure if it distracts from the pure educational focus of the tool.

Do you guys think a global ranking adds enough value to a training game like this? Would love to hear your thoughts on competitive mechanics for educational tools!🧐 😁
