如果没有受到恶魔城的影响，Vampire Survivors原本的风貌便不会是如此，所以这次的合作无疑是梦想成真。
这个游戏扩展包并不是一般的游戏扩展包，而是对这一历史性游戏系列的致敬，同时也纪念我们一路走来用尽全力，才能够将这款质量这么高的游戏圆满地带给了玩家们！

我们想再次由衷感谢所有粉丝，因为有你们的支持，这款游戏才能走到今天。同时，由于这次扩展包的内容非非非常大，所以我们也呼吁玩家们不要一次爆肝玩到底！

有哪位来自恶魔城的英雄好汉能够抵挡诱惑，不来加入Vampire Survivors当中那绝望的吸血鬼追寻之旅呢？没有，因为世界上不存在那种英雄。

正如游戏预告片所示，这次在选择内容时，我们只遵循了一个原则：内容必须要包含所有人事物。

• 20+ 个人物
  
• 40+ 件新武器
  
• 1 个大舞台
  
• 30+ 首音乐翻录
  
• 还有很多好东西，但是我们怕讲出来会吓到大家，所以就先不说了。

这个游戏扩展包将和以往一样，在“关卡选择”中新增一个关卡，玩家可以从这里开始解锁新角色和武器。有鉴于内容的丰富性，开启这条解锁路线是非常容易的。

新增的关卡是我们目前为止最大的一关，内含许多不同的生物群落。在地图上出现的新的特殊图标，可以帮助玩家更有效率地移动。

以Castlevania系列的武器而言，我们努力在致敬、重新诠释、混合以及转换这几个面向之间寻求平衡。此外，我们还加入了主题武器选择器，使所有角色都能更加灵活。当玩家想使用其他武器时，角色便不会局限于使用默认武器。

由于我们认为这次的内容量已经十分充足，所以这次的扩展包当中没有冒险模式（但是如果有机会的话，我们之后可能还是会加入冒险模式）。

这个版本的补丁将会为每位玩家带来许多便利性的优化。详细信息我们将在发布当天看到，以下为简述：

1. 高级音乐选择：对于游戏当中音乐曲目的播放顺序，有些怪咖（比如我）是了若指掌，但是当这些怪咖都不知道要选什么歌来听的的时候，就代表用户界面需要重新设计一下了！
   超级封印：玩家现在可以从收藏菜单中封印整个“内容包”（包括“基础游戏”或“额外内容”……要武器来干嘛用的？）
   缩放：玩家现在可以在暂停菜单的地图上进行缩放。都已经2024年了，当然要跟得上时代一些！
   暂停菜单中的阿尔卡那效果提示：你该不会以为缩放功能就是新增功能当中最好的功能了吧？
   预览模式中新增的被动效果：新进化的列表需要两个被动效果才显得完整，所以我们用了特殊的方法提前将它们加入到游戏当中。
   内存使用优化：玩家需要进行终局战时，这个功能能够保持游戏稳定度。在个人电脑上可能看不出来，但在其他平台上可以感受得到。
   
   
   
   
   常见问题
   主游戏之后是否还会持续有更新？
   是的，我们会持续进行免费的内容更新。混沌路线图上还有很多内容，尤其是上一个补丁中新增的黑魔牌！我们之后将会计划进行更大的更新，但速度会较以往慢。
   
   怎么这么贵？！
   这次的游戏扩展包是真的非常、非常、非常庞大。觉得这个说法太浮夸的各位，相信你们之后就会知道这不是夸大其词了。考虑到内容量和制作成本，我们认为扩充包的定价比《Vampire Survivors》便宜一元算是合理的。
   
   怎么这么便宜？！
   尽管这个游戏扩展包内容如此丰富，而且在制作上有了显著提升，但是在其定价上，我们仍然希望这个游戏扩展包与其他扩展包和基础游戏保持一致。通常来说，这样的定价确实是偏低的，而我们之所以能够实现这样的定价，完全是因为玩家们给予的巨大支持，我们也因此希望越多粉丝能够负担得起这个扩展包越好。
   
   瞧你说的天花乱坠，你敢保证你没说谎？
   亲，你這是什麼傻問題呢？！
   
   更多关于扩展包的常见问题
   虽然大部分游戏扩展包的内容都很直观，但由于这次是联动合作，所以当中还是有一些不同之处。例如，这次的扩充包**没有Steam成就**，并且**音乐翻录不会包含在Steam上的付费原声带中**（但我们会像往常一样在YouTube上发布），有关详情，请见常见问题： https://poncle.games/ode-to-castlevania-faq

昨天已经唠叨了一大段神秘兮兮的胡言乱语，现在是时候发布正式的补丁说明了！
距离上次大更新已经有一段时间，所以我们尽量留点底，不马上剧透补丁内容，以免破坏惊喜。

- 9项新的额外成就
- 1个新的挑战关卡
- 1件新神器
- 2个新的特殊角色皮肤
- 5种新秘能
- 🦇🦇🦇

和原版22种秘能一样，本补丁中引入的新秘能也属于实验性质，可能会有所变化。这次我们更新了5张卡牌，请尽情发表反馈和看法，以便我们能够不断改进，并调整未来卡牌的设计思路。


- 前往“秘密”菜单，在文本框输入"forbiddenbox"解锁新关卡。
- 抵达新关卡的最底层解锁新神器。
- 前往“解锁”菜单，查看新秘能的解锁说明。
- 通关本体游戏的冒险模式解锁角色皮肤。


全新秘能牌
当前游戏里有5张可解锁的黑魔牌。
常规的秘法牌页面出现了新按钮，点击即可查看黑魔牌。秘法牌和黑魔牌的唯一区别在于主题，效果则完全相同。
由于秘能牌数量增加，一旦拥有23张或以上的卡牌，每次抽卡都附带一次免费的重选机会，让你从6张卡牌（而不是4张）里进行选择。

全新特殊皮肤
这是一种新的游戏机制：角色装备上特殊皮肤后，改变的不仅是外观，还有属性和武器。目前有2种特殊皮肤，通关本体游戏的两种冒险模式即可获得。
若已通关本体游戏的两种冒险模式，就打开冒险菜单解锁新皮肤吧。

伊梅尔达·贝尔帕斯的全新特殊皮肤：大开眼界的伊梅尔达
她开局自带5级的空白之书，并获得以下加成：+40%飞射速度、+40% 移动速度、-10% 冷却时间。通关“晦明境域”的冒险即可解锁。

波·拉奇奥的全新特殊皮肤：退隐长者波·拉奇奥
他开局自带5级的愈伤番茄，并获得以下加成：+30生命上限、恢复5hp/s。通关“大蒜天堂”的冒险即可解锁。

新关卡：1665号房间
在秘密菜单施放魔咒"forbiddenbox"解锁。
严苛的挑战关卡，大多数神器都不再生效。你增长实力的同时，敌人也越来越强。你需要击败大约100个敌人才能肃空房间，步入下一个房间。标准光源很少见，但也会作为肃空房间的奖励。

神器：黑魔牌
允许启用黑魔牌，附带黑魔牌VI - 月光的波列罗。
解锁条件：抵达1665号房间的最底层。

黑魔牌：VI - 月光的波列罗
解锁条件：获得黑魔牌时自动解锁。
每分钟都会生成一个额外的关卡头目。这些头目可能会携带包括秘能牌在内的特殊宝箱，让你在达到标准上限后仍能获得额外的秘能。此外还包括漆黑宝箱，让你有机会获得当前不具备的全新被动武器。

黑魔牌：I - 宝蓝迷雾
解锁条件：使用太空哥，获得冷却时间-85%的加成。
装备任意武器开火时，有一定几率再度激活武器效果，视幸运而定。该效果在特定武器上更为卓著，会激活2到3次而不是1次。

黑魔牌：X - 未来的礼赞
解锁条件：使用圣拉多纳触发一次净恶。
每次升级后，关卡中都会出现掉落物，数量取决于运气和等级。可能出现的掉落物包括金手指、镀金三叶草、糖果盒和犰狳等。

黑魔牌：XII - 水晶哭泣
解锁条件：使用“傻妞”埃塔触发一次满天星。
当角色的生命值低于20%时，会触发时祷怀表。该能力会在角色生命值回满时重新充能。
击败被冻住的敌人会产生灵魂结晶，拾取后可恢复部分生命值，并为成长、生命上限和恢复提供小幅加成。

黑魔牌：XXI - 漫步漆黑
解锁条件：巴特·罗伯特的生命上限达到665。
失去生命值会产生爆弹。奔跑过程中恢复的生命值会增加爆炸伤害。念力也会影响爆炸的范围和伤害。



►游戏什么时候登陆PlayStation？
- 8月29日。真不容易啊。 ☠️
►PlayStation版本是否包含黑魔牌更新？
- 是的。它将以1.11版本发布。

►PlayStation版本是否包含白金奖杯？
- 是的。其实PlayStation版本有2个，分别为PS4和PS5版，它们有各自的奖杯列表。每个版本都有一个白金奖杯（无论购买PS4还是PS5版本，都会获得两个版本）。
其他平台上的所有成就都会有相应的奖杯，但由于技术限制，白金奖杯要求的奖杯数量将少于你的预期。
新的奖杯组会随着每次内容更新一并到来，和其他平台的成就一样。
出于一贯原因[poncle.games]，联动DLC不包含奖杯。

►跨平台存档测试版
- 除了Steam和Android，现在连iOS的测试版分支也提供跨平台存档功能了。我们已经在其他平台上测试了跨平台存档功能，一切运作顺利，但仍需提交申请，获批后才能全面发布。
- 详见问题解答：https://poncle.games/account-help


►其他项目
- 《吸血鬼幸存者》的在线合作：技术上进展顺利，但还没到正式揭幕的时候！
- VS实验：我们已将其中一项实验搁置，用另一项替代，两项实验仍在进行中，最后为其中两项实验大开绿灯！或要等到 2025 年才能公之于众。

►我们在额外内容路线图的哪里？
在这里：
如果你觉得我们是以扔飞镖的方式来决定日后更新的，那么你……猜的不全错🤡
除了新内容之外，我们还在紧锣密鼓地改进游戏，以此作为下一个补丁发布，包括在暂停菜单上直观地看到秘能效果、新的音乐选择菜单和超级劲爆的绝密内容。
1.11.0 漏洞修复和改进

Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns是我们的第二部联动 DLC，这次是与科乐美联合作战，呼叫魂斗罗小队进攻全平台！
https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/2887680

内容：
- 1 个大关卡和 1 个额外关卡
- 11 名新角色
- 22 种新武器，包括原始形态及其超武
- 6 首原声曲目
- 13 首来自魂斗罗系列的经典金曲和 6 首全新翻创曲目
- 一段包含 6 个章节的新冒险

如何开启 DLC
在安装 DLC 后，新关卡“新加鲁加”将出现在关卡选择页面的下方，游玩该关卡便可一步步按照引导解锁其内容。
或者，你也可以进入冒险模式游玩 Operation Guns 的章节，使用魂斗罗系列的新角色和新武器，在枪林弹雨中酣畅淋漓地轰杀敌人！

我进入游戏后没有看见 DLC 的内容
请确保你的游戏版本是 1.10，旧版本无法检测到内容。你可以彻底关闭并重新启动 Steam 以此触发一次游戏更新，然后就万事大吉了！

补丁 1.10
我们上周进行了一次免费更新，加入了不少新内容和新强化：封印（3）！你可以在这里阅读有关细节，以及其他关于 VS 的常规消息：
https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/news/app/1794680/view/4104540932629694732

游戏本体还会推出免费更新吗？
当然，就像在上面 1.10 补丁中提到的一样。

22 种新武器和超武？！我的武器池啊！
在最新的免费更新中，我们加入了一个新的封印强化，所以大可放心——你依然可以轻松构筑心仪的武器池。

为什么只卖 $2.49？
总有玩家好言相劝，让我们涨点价，他们愿意多掏钱。有些是随口一夸“好良心”，有些的确是郑重其事“求涨价”。联动 DLC 的生产成本较其他内容更高，但并不意味着我们的售价也会因此一飞冲天。
你们已经给予了我们梦寐以求的机会，让我们能醉心享受 Vampire Survivors 的开发过程（所以才会有源源不断的免费更新），似乎只有尽量控制重大拓展内容的成本和不可预知的风险才是明智之选。我们需要一些非常不得了的东西才能心安理得地卖一个高价。
如果因为我们一时兴起，决定添加 12 个角色而非通常的 8 个，害得制作成本噌噌飙升……嘿，那也是我们的问题了。

更多关于 DLC 的常见问题
虽然多数 DLC 的内容简单直接，但作为一个联动 DLC 还是有所区别的，例如没有相应的 Steam 成就以及 6 首翻创曲目不会加入 Steam 的原声音轨。更多相关信息，请参阅常见问题的链接：
https://poncle.games/operation-guns

- 7个全新额外成就
- 1个新的挑战关卡
- 1个新的额外关卡
- 1名新角色
- 1件新武器及其超武
- 1件全新被动宝物
- 1个新的强化：封印（3）

在VS问世初期，就不时有人发出疑问：“圣徒水这个名字是怎么来的呢？”在本次更新中，这个疑团终于可以得到解答。但当我们在实验室中一探究竟时，还将揭示哪些别的黑暗秘密呢？


- 拾取33个玫瑰念珠解锁实验室关卡。如果你游戏时间足够久的话，很可能早已达成了解锁条件，在这种情况下，你只需开启一轮新游戏后再退出就能解锁新关卡了。
- 在关卡中的大房间使用控制杆，直到你寻获圣母标枪和犰狳。
- 将四叶草升至满级，从而进化圣母标枪。
- 使用新关卡底层的控制杆，击败一大波敌人，然后解锁一个额外关卡。
- 存活20分钟解锁圣拉多纳。
- 在一轮游戏中，封印/排除40件物品解锁新强化：封印（3）。


新关卡：实验室
一个充满挑战的关卡，这里的一切东西都想要你的命，就连逼仄的过道也不例外。你可以拉动这里的特殊控制杆，激活大多数情况下对你有益的特殊效果（具体看脸）。根据各自不同的房间，特效将会赋予你相应的武器和被动效果。

新武器：圣母标枪&圣洁悲泣
尽管这件武器的原始形态只能攻击随机的敌人，但它可以造成暴击伤害，并将持续时间属性转变为额外的发射数量。它可以与特殊的秘法牌（双子座、暮色的安魂曲和悲境的公主）搭配使用，进化超武则需要升至满级的四叶草。
超武形态下，运气值会转变为额外的伤害。装备超武时，拾取玫瑰念珠会造成四次清屏爆炸，将敌人变为经验宝石。

新的被动宝物：犰狳
允许你选择任意的基础被动。
其实在游戏中，它被判定为一件武器，所以当你打开糖果盒时可以从中选择它。

新角色：圣拉多纳
开局时，冷却时间有临时加成；当濒临死亡时，触发一次玫瑰念珠效果（此能力将在生命值完全恢复后重置）。绝对没有别的隐藏彩蛋 👀

新关卡：卡罗赛车场
一个额外的娱乐小关卡，进入后无法彻底停止移动。它的游戏方式与常规关卡大有不同，因此没有与之相关的额外解锁内容，是一个彻头彻尾的消遣关卡。

新的强化：封印（3）
名字已经暴露了一切——这是更加方便的封印强化——每强化一层，你就可以封印3件物品。这下可封印的物品总数就多达60了！



►跨平台存档功能测试
- 跨平台存档现在已经在Steam、安卓和iOS的测试分支开放。
- 常见问题： https://poncle.games/account-help


►其他项目
- Vampire Survivors的线上合作模式：相关的技术工作正有条不紊地推进，但现在透露具体细节还为时过早！
- 实验：进展顺利、引人入胜，我目前只能说这么多了，而且之后再有什么新玩法的更新计划，我也是粘贴复制这套回答。只能说慢工出细活！
[这段话毫不意外地照搬自先前的媒体消息 :p]

►你们还会制作更多的冒险故事吗？
当然！我们原计划加快制作冒险故事的频率，但随后意识到尽管冒险模式与新的DLC能很好地独立开来，但依然不能填补游戏本体所缺失的一些元素。
所以我们正在着手为游戏加入一个新玩法（内容暂时保密），之后我们将再次发布新的冒险故事。

Tides of the Foscari是一个例外。比起翻版DLC的故事情节，我们决定另辟蹊径，但这需要搭配另外一个尚未加入游戏本体的新玩法才行。希望所有这些设想都能在夏季时最终落地！

值得一提的是，在此期间，我们不遗余力地编撰着最复杂的游戏背景设定，使之与未来的新冒险相辅相成。这是每个人心里都明白的道理——情景交融的故事情节才是VS的核心体验。/s

►至于额外内容的开发计划，现在已经走到哪一环了？
显然是即将上市的：
我们的最新联动DLC即将在几天后发售，时间是5月9日！
你可以在Steam商店页面和这里了解有关内容：
https://steamproxy.net/games/1794680/announcements/detail/4104540932629701544

Today we are announcing Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns, our second collab DLC, made in collaboration with the KONAMI's Contra team!

You might have noticed a couple of very obscure hints in Vampire Survivors about how much we admire and remember fondly playing all the iconic game series sparked by KONAMI over the years, which is why when we got the opportunity to work with their Contra team we took it immediately!

It's been surreal and a lot of fun to retrieve old memories of playing Contra with randos at the arcade, or with friends on a home console, and reinterpret them in a Vampire Survivors sauce. In fact we got a bit carried away and added more content to the DLC pack than initially planned, trying to pick & mix some of the old and some of the new, some of the obvious and some of the unexpected.

This was yet another dream come true for many in our team, so thank you all for your continued support and making this a reality!

Will the agents of the Contra Force resist the urge to join the Vampire Survivors in their doomed search for a vampire? No.


We started with the usual number of characters and weapons in mind when developing this content pack, but it's been very difficult to work with such constraints when dealing with such an iconic series like Contra. So we did the only logical thing, make more:

• 11 gun-slinging characters
  
• 22 new weapons between base versions and evolutions. They're not all guns - some of them trigger explosions too!
  
• 1 large stage and 1 bonus stage
  
• 13 music tracks directly from the Contra series and 6 brand new covers
  
• An explosively silly 6-chapters Adventure

You can wishlist Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns now by clicking the link below.
https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/2887680

And check out the Contra franchise page for even more Contra goodness: https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/franchise/contra

As usual the DLC will add a new stage in Stage Selection, from where you'll be able to start the chain of unlocks to get the new characters and weapons.

Most characters will offer cross-stats benefits for players who like min-maxing, and will be able to find special pickups typical of the Contra series, like Grenades or RapidFires.

Most weapons will have a damage output slightly lower than usual to try paying a little homage to the historically high difficulty of the Contra series, but also there will be a lot Arcana interactions to customise the difficulty to your liking. In the same spirit, there are several weapons that require some aiming or that follow the typical arcade 8-angle constraints when firing.

While we like to joke about the concept of just adding a ton of guns, actually there will also be melee weapons and most of the new projectiles are rather unusual.

Finally, yes, the silly racing-stage seen in the trailer is real and will be playable!

We're finally in a position to make an unsurprising announcement about Vampire Survivors coming to PlayStation, in a time interval vaguely defined as Summer 2024!
We're doing the ports ourselves just like the others, so we took our sweet time to get here, but in this way we can keep the low price and the parity of content, so it's better in the long term. We're doing a port for PS4 and another for PS5.
We can't make any promises yet, but hopefully we'll have cross-save publicly available by then too.

Will the main game still receive free updates?
Yes, we're doing free content updates as usual. In fact there will be one happening around the end of the month! (it will be available on the public-beta branch on Steam in minutes 👀)

22 new weapons and evolutions?! My level-up pool!
We're adding one more Seal power-up in the next free content patch, so don't worry, you'll still be able to easily manipulate the level-up pool.

More DLC FAQS
While most of the contents of the DLCs are straightforward, being a collab there are some differences. For example, there are no Steam achievements and the 6 music covers won't be available in the Soundtrack on Steam, so please read the FAQs here for more info: https://poncle.games/operation-guns

- 7 new EXTRA achievements
- 1 new bonus stage
- 2 new characters
- 4 new weapons (of which 2 evos)
- 1 new relic

In this patch there are a lot of fixes too, including some optimisations that will let you play a run with Sammy for at least 2 more seconds than before!

Steam Achievements notes: this patch actually adds 8 platform Achievements, because it includes the Atlas Gate from the Adventures update!


THE BAT STUFF
- Defeat a total of 161616 bats, from any stage, to unlock the Pako Battiliar weapon
- Evolve Pako Battiliar using Max level Hollow Heart to unlock the Bat Robbert character

THE SPACE STUFF
- Collect 5 Gold Fingers to unlock Space 54 (enter and exit a run if you've already got enough)
- Pickup the Phas3r weapon in Space 54, get it to level 7, and evovle it using Max level Empty Tome.
- At minute 18 in Space 54, locate and collect the Brave Story relic.
- Survive 20 minutes in Space 54 to unlock the Space Dude character.

Available on the Steam public-beta branch and on Android public beta! Please send us any feedback about the feature, it's very delicate since we're talking about save-data, so we'll take all the help we can get to make sure it's solid.
Please also let us know if there's any other service you could find useful. We've been investigating cross-platform-dlc (so buy in one place, play anywhere) but it's the biggest bureaucratic can of worms ever; so, not being a technical problem, I'm honestly not too hopeful we'll be able to get it done (if you follow gaming news then you probably know very well how protective certain platforms are of any paid content).

We have put together a FAQ here: https://poncle.games/account-help



Stage: Space 54
Plain bonus stage with plenty of items and odd enemies. Walls stop blocking movement at minute 11:00
Might be a bit strong visually, so if it's bothering you please make sure to see if checking the "Disable Moving Background" makes it better!

Relic: Brave Story
Allows to choose Random Level Up choices in Stage Selection. Currently selectable only before starting a run. This will let you try do to runs in which the RNG picks weapons for you when levelling up, good luck!

Weapon: Phas3r & Photonstorm
Can be picked up in Space 54, and unlocked for every other run by levelling it up to Level 7. For the base version, Area only affects size horizontally. The evolution fires at least x2 projectiles than the base version, occasionally x5 when dealing a critical hit.

Weapon: Pako Battiliar & Mazo Familiar
Can be unlocked anytime just by killing A LOT of bats, across any amount of runs. It fires additional times when the owner receives damage or loses a shield. The evolution fires more projectiles and deals bonus damage depending on the current Max Health bonus of the owner.

NewCharacter: Space Dude
Fast character that starts with Phas3r.
Has a special ability that fires all weapons regardless of their Cooldown every few seconds. The cooldown of this ability is affected by the Cooldown stat.

NewCharacter: Bat Robbert
Slightly tanky character that starts with Pako Battiliar.
Has a special ability: when falling below 20% health, he gains +16 MaxHP (max +400) and recovers 30% health. This ability recharges every time the character is fully healed.

Well, I know the next 3 steps/updates we'll take on our Chaos Roadmap, but if I say anything I'm going to spoil the surprise effect (and probably find myself face to face with a hitman hired by the marketing team). A lot of players have been asking for more dark/serious settings, so I can at least tell you that 1 of those 3 steps has been cherry picked because it's probably the darkest one we have on the roadmap 👀
It won't be the next one, but should arrive soon enough!

We're also working on new Adventures for the main game of course, together with the "missing piece" of the Adventures mechanics, that once again I won't spoil until we have something concrete to show.

Flash updates on other projects:
- Online co-op: the technical work is going well, still too early for more details!
- EXPERIMENTS: going well, a lot of fun, I'm putting this here and planning to copy-paste this line for many future updates though, this stuff takes time!

I don't usually reveal details about the DEEP LORE of VS, but this time it's worth making an exception, because part of this update is dedicated to... a game framework, Phaser!
Weirder than usual, I know, but Phaser was the original framework I used to make VS, is an absolute joy to use, and if I hadn't loved working with it to begin with, I would have probably never made VS, so I thought it deserved a bit more than just a line in the credits.

I've noticed a few players asking for more info about Phaser the previous times I've mentioned it, so I asked Richard, its developer, to write a few lines for you!

quote=Richard:

引用自 Richard：

I can still remember when Luca came to the Phaser Discord and showed off the first public version of Vampire Survivors, which he had created using our game framework. As the developer of Phaser, I'm always interested in seeing what people make with it, no matter what it may be like visually or how complete it is, so I had a look.

Seeing the screenshots on the Itch page, my immediate thought was, "What a strange mish-mash of sprites!" It was almost as if someone had thrown together a bundle of OpenGameArt and hoped for the best. As we all know, looks can be deceiving. Because then I played it. You don't need me to tell you just how sublimely addictive Vampire Survivors is. The Steam score and play time stats are a testament to this. Yet even in that very early stage, it sunk its gameplay hooks deep into me and never let up.

Because each run-through was relatively quick, you felt compelled to give it just one more go to see how you could improve. It didn't matter how insane and chaotic the visuals were. It didn't matter that the game was made in JavaScript and running in the browser. Because as thousands of creatures mobbed you and you swung that King Bible desperately, all of that just blended away as you fixated on the zone you were in.

It's the perfect example of a compelling gameplay loop. Demonstrating clearly that it doesn't matter one bit what tech you choose. You can still make an outstanding game. We've had many people come to Phaser since the release of Vampire Survivors, some looking to make similar games. For those who are curious, Phaser [phaser.io]is a fully open-source game framework that allows you to make web-based games. All you need to know is a little JavaScript, and you can get started within minutes. There are built-in features for physics, animation, audio, and plenty more, and it has been in active development for the past decade. If that appeals to you, then we'll be more than happy to welcome you into our community. While we cannot guarantee you'll achieve the same level of success, after all, that would be like capturing lightning in a bottle; you'll at least have fun trying.

Richard's too kind and is advertising VS more than Phaser, so let me put my two cents and say that Phaser offers incredible support, with dozens of clear examples you can access and edit on the fly directly from your browser window; it allows you to go straight to the fun part of game development. Everyone is different and therefore has different preferences for coding and development; I love the freedom of creativity and speed that a language as chaotic as Javascript provides, and the empowerment I got from Phaser is something I've never seen any other framework to match.
If you're curious just click on one of the examples from the website and fiddle with it in real time!

Not really a Steam problem, but there are a lot of players who have the game on multiple platforms, so just wanted to thank you for waiting that long to get the content that Steam got in December 🙏
We managed to do a global release with this patch today at least, I hope we'll be able to keep it up!

And we're at the start of 2024!

It's been once again a wild ride, and once again we have to thank all of you for your comments, quotes, messages, fan art, reviews, and, naturally, relentelessy keeping up with your 100% (sorry!)

As always, we are incredibly thankful for the community that has built up around Vampire Survivors.

We're doing another huge post like last year to talk about everything that happened and also have a look at what's to come in the future. There's a lot to cover, so we hope you enjoy!

Even after being out for more than one year, the reception of VS keeps being absolutely mindblowing.
Poncle has grown to 20 people now and we're all still busy working exclusively on VS due to the ports, engine changes, frequent updates and releases. And then, you know, the marketing team exists.

We have a lot going on behind the scenes, but I'll keep the update focused on Vampire Survivors and I'll reveal a few bit in the paragraphs below!


*Deep breath* :
Bat Country, DICE Awards Action game of the year[www.interactive.org], BAFTA for Game Design[awards.bafta.org], BAFTA for Best Game[awards.bafta.org], Tides of the Foscari DLC, Astral Stair, Nintendo Switch port, Local Co-op, first players event, OST orchestra recordings (3rd one actually 👀), Whiteout, Adventures, first collab DLC Emergency Meeting!

Missed something? Most likely, oh we have udpated the OST on Steam to be available in FLAC format for example, anyway, 2023 summary done, next!

We are still investigating! To retro-fit online multiplayer in a game as simple as this, but with so much content, is still a huge challenge. We've got help now, and things are looking promising, but it's still too early for us to be able to make any promises. We'll keep giving you tiny updates until hopefully we can confirm it's actually going to happen.

We had this in testing for a while now, but the real hold-up is having to put in place everything that is needed to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and whatever else is required for data protection. We had delays even just in testing the feature in public-beta because there's a lot of work to do - even if all we need to do to bridge the accounts you already have on different platforms is storing just an email and password combination.
We're working on a QOL update for February and we're hoping to launch cross-save in public-beta only at the same time (Steam and Android only to start with).

Yep, we're doing cross-media like the big boys for real!
Back in April 2023 we announced an animated tv series[deadline.com] in collaboration with Story Kitchen. We had of course waited for the various strikes to end before getting to it, so for now we can just say that more info is coming in 2024!

Honestly we have received a lot of proposals to collaborate on cross-media projects, but rather than jumping the gun we have preferred to wait to find partners that felt right, especially because to make anything that isn't a videogame out of VS requires good ideas, creativity, and that quirky knowledge of the game, that is a very difficult triplet to get 100% right!

We have several partners now and we'll reveal more on these projects as they mature and we've got good stuff to show!

If you're somehow managing to follow the Chaos Roadmap and are curious to know what changed from the last time:
- codename Chalcedony turned out to be Emergency Meeting
- Emergency Meeting is update 1.8
- no need to be cryptic about the next update: Honey Moon is the codename for the new update 1.9, "Space 54", currently available for testing on the Steam-PC public beta branch! If everything goes well, 1.9 should reach all platforms in February together with a few performance and QOL improvements.
- the vast majority of these are free content updates of Whiteout-size

I doubt we can get all of these done in 2024, and that's why there are no dates nor an order, but we're here to try!

We know people are demanding more platforms, but we're also keen on doing the ports ourselves, one at a time, and that takes time.
We can't "just hire immediately more people": I don't think that's how a healthy company grows; let's give poncle time to grow organically.
We can't "just get a publisher": it would make us lose control on features and pricing.

I'd love to tell you everything about the next port, but the marketing team would kill me; I can just say it's the most obvious one, so for streaming services of course, codenamed "if it looks like mud and smells like mud, then it's Vampire Survivors"

Our friends at Fangamer have made some neat Vampire Survivors gadgets: an incredibly metal t-shirt[www.fangamer.com], and some enamel character pins that also come with a little accesory. The Queen Sigma pin in particular is very versatile, as shown by Lucy in this video.
I use mine in a little diorama my little siblings made for me for Christmas 😭
(feel free to cringe in the comments, but please appreciate I spared you the rest of the poem!)

Uh-oh, what now?
Something I've been trying to put in place almost since the beginning of VS' crazy ride is finally happening: poncle is teaming up with other indie devs to work on some VS-adjacent experiments. We're calling these experiments because:
- we're starting with just an idea, we don't know where that will lead us and that's okay
- we don't know when, or even if, we'll be happy with the final results and be ready to share them
- it keeps us free to, well, experiment, stay flexible, take risks and have fun
- as you can see from this totally not vague overview, we're following a highly scientific method and it's totally not an esoteric process at all:
What will these experiments yield? Is there a meaning to the icons? Are there "only" six in progress? Why is this called PENTAgram in game, if the star has 6 points? Will there be a vampire? We'll find out the answers to these and many other important questions someday.

That's all for now, got a pretty busy 2024 ahead of us!
Thank you all once again and see you in the next run!

- Luca & poncle (including the marketing team)
