Vanadius Version Archive

← Go back to the main game page


This is an archive of several versions of Vanadius for historical purposes. While it does not contain every version I have (there are way too many), I opted to include a good mix of versions that show how the game improved over time.

While you can download release versions from this page, I highly recommend downloading those from the itch.io page instead if you can. It saves on website bandwidth and you get access to itch.io's nice features!


Note: All the versions here are Windows builds (that work fine in Wine on Linux at the time of writing - 2025/8/24). Younger me didn't have the foresight to make native Linux builds.



Release Versions

Version Link Notes
Version 1.0.0 Vanadius_v1.0.0.zip (9.4MB)
Version 1.1.0 Vanadius_v1.1.0.zip (9.4MB) This version is extremely broken and crashes if developer tools aren't enabled.
Version 1.2.0 Vanadius_v1.2.0.zip (16.2MB)
Version 1.2.0 (Source Code) Vanadius_v1.2.0_Source.zip (15.8MB) This is a GameMaker Studio 2 project folder, not an executable. It's hit or miss whether or not Gamemaker will actually load the files.

Beta Versions

Version Link Notes
Prototype Vanadius_Prototype.zip (2.0MB) This was the first thing I ever made in GameMaker, and is a proof of concept of very basic game mechanics.
PublicBuild8 VanadiusPublicBuild8.zip (2.0MB) This is the oldest version I could find on my computer of Vanadius proper. Even though it's called Public Build, it was never made public, only shared with close friends.
Version a0.1.1 Vanadius_a0.1.1.zip (2.1MB)
Version a0.5.3 Vanadius_a0.5.3.zip (2.4MB)
Version a0.10.1 Vanadius_a0.10.1.zip (2.3MB)
