We’re thrilled to announce our latest feature: the Collection Room! This is a space where you can display any item from your inventory, arranged in any order you like. Be it weapons, materials, or artifacts, you can exhibit them all!
Invite your friends over to your Collection Room and let them admire your favorite items!
We’re continually adding more unique items to the inventory and constantly improving the game, so make sure to follow us and stay updated!
WHAT'S NEW? 1. OVER 1600 NEW RENDERS 2. MORE THAN 100 ANIMATIONS 3. OVER 100 NEW SPECIAL RENDERS 4. 10 NEW MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS 5. 20 NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
HOW TO DOWNLOAD/GET THE EPISODE? THE NEW EPISODE IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE TO ALL OWNERS OF THE SUMMER CRUSH ON STEAM AS A FREE UPDATE! ATTENTION: IF FOR ANY REASON YOU CAN'T GET AN ACHIEVEMENT, I RECOMMEND CHECKING THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME FILES ON STEAM.
It's been another crazy year here at poncle working on Vampire Survivors, and as usual it's thanks to you all if we can keep doing that while also having fun! This year isn't over yet anyway, we still have update 1.8 to release, together with a (very little) extra bit of content that isn't even available in the public beta version yet.
If you think we've done enough, it would be great to get a nomination for "Labor of Love" in the Steam Awards please! If you think we should do more instead, no problem, hopefully in 2024 we'll get there! I'm going to share our Chaos Roadmap just below, to tease how much more we're planning to add in the future 👀
When it comes to planning new content, I'm not a fan of big, perfect, highly detailed roadmaps, as it's often straight up impossible to foresee all problems that might occur during development (did you happen to hear about a huge software company trying to screw over game developers recently?)
Even internally, we use a big list of stuff we know we want to do, but we don't put that in order or on a timeline. So here's our Chaos Roadmap, a highly cryptic list of all future updates that are getting cooked behind the scenes:
Wondering what the heck MAZERELLA is? Sorry, my lips are sealed.
Wondering which one will be next? Me too haha
Thank you all once again, and hope to see you in here again soon for the Adventures update!
The more you fail your missions in a zone, the more Ratatoskr will punish you... Play smart, stay sharp, and you just might make it out alive...
THE WRATH OF RATATOSK UPDATE
Squirrels mutate on mission failure
Mutations are saved to mission map
So far the end result is a 'squirrels like'... a game that trashes on you even harder the more you suck at it... the idea made me laugh... so I added it to the game...
Get good, play smart or DIE BY THE SQUIRREL!
Mutations include increased speed, health, healing powers and now, finally.... FLAMING SQUIRRELS!
Expect more mutations, more intel and general improvements over the coming weeks...
OTHER PATCH NOTES
MAP - SQUIRREL TOWN: jumping through windows is now much easier!
FEATURE: Steam leader boards available on mission over screen
BUG FIX: Squirrel missions no longer reset threat levels
GAMEPLAY: killing Ultra Squirrels reduces area threat levels
LORE: Orbs of Delight are now orbs of Concentrated Wrath energy
MAPS: general tweaks here and there most maps
UI: mission select screen now shows mission area threat levels
UI: KAWAII 4000AR squirrel hat rewards displayed on mission over
UI: gathered intel now shown on mission over screen
There is still some balancing and polish to do on the new systems. I should have an update within a couple of weeks.
Please do post in the forum if you have any feedback or if you run into any show stoppers / crashes.
Your save games _should_ work with the new update - do try starting a new hive if you run into any problems.
You can now download your save data from the browser demo on itch and then import it into the full game. You can find the button in the "REMEMBER" menu (but only in the web demo), it will tell you how to import your saved game. The steam version has been updated to allow importing this data.
A bug where the quiz minigame would sometimes lack names has been fixed. Reported by Nelo390 on our discord server.
