Hello everyone,

The Deutsche Indie Showcase - Summer Game Fest Edition 2026 is kicking off right now, and I'm incredibly excited to finally share that Vena is part of the lineup.

Every game selected for the showcase received the Deutsche Indie Showcase Choice Award, and it feels great to be able to display it alongside so many other brilliant indie projects. To celebrate the event, I have a few major updates to share with you all today.

Brand New Trailer & Release Window

I am debuting a brand new trailer as part of the showcase! If you watch it until the end, you will see a pretty big milestone for me: Vena officially has a release window. The game will be coming out in Q4 2026. You can watch the new trailer right here on the Steam page.

Demo Update

I also wanted you to be able to jump right in and experience the progress I've been making. I just published an overhauled version of the Vena demo. I've added a bunch of new features, improved the gameplay, and spent a lot of time polishing the overall experience. You can download it right now, and I would love to hear what you think.

The event is broadcasting right now. You can tune in here:

English: Live on The Game Awards YouTube channel.
German: Live on Gronkh's YouTube channel, with live reactions happening right now on Twitch by Gronkh and PhunkRoyal.

Steam Event Page: Valve and the showcase team put together a special Steam Event page featuring all the participating games. Check out the Deutsche Indie Showcase Steam Event Here!

Thank you for sticking with me and supporting the game's development. Enjoy the showcase, and have fun with the new demo!

Leonhard, Solo Developer of Vena
