New Studio
Poncle to open Japan studio led by El Shaddai creator Sawaki Takeyasu
The studio plans to continue working with relatively small development teams
Poncle is the mastermind behind the indie hit "Vampire Survivors," a game that started as a side project and exploded into a community favorite, now available on all consoles and mobile, with a dedicated team that loves garlic and surprises fans with free updates like "Whiteout".
They're passionate about engaging with their community, offering sneak peeks into new content through Discord and hosting events like the Save & Sound festival. They believe in the power of community support, celebrating milestones like the game's 1.0 launch with heartfelt thanks and continuous improvements through patches, especially for the Nintendo Switch.
