Twitch Mode Details
Currently requires a physical keyboard to be set up.
To enable Twitch mode, go to Options from the main menu, type your Twitch channel name in the text box and click the Twitch connect button.
From now on, level up decisions will be made by the Twitch chat by typing a number from 1 to 7, depending on the options available on the level up screen. Viewers will also be able to choose special commands like Reroll and Banish:
In the second half of every minute, the chat will also be able to vote on what special event will happen at the start of the next minute by typing a,b, or c. This vote is secret and the results are revealed only when the next minute ticks:
Playing in Hurry mode also allows the chat to trigger events every 30 seconds instead than every minute.
(It is not possible to change position of the Twitch Selection panel at this time, but suggestions are welcome)
No beta?
To avoid spoilers, the new content of v1.0 hasn't been through the usual public-beta process, so please feel free to highlight any problems, frustrations, or balancing issues about the new mechanics in the Discord or in the Steam forum so we can improve on those :)
What's next
Vampire Survivors started as a "simple gameplay base that I could use to have fun making content for over the weekends", and despite all the changes that happened over the past year, that original vision of a simple canvas at which to throw everything including the kitchen sink has never really changed. Well, that "over the weekends" turned into "in any waking hour", but the rest is still valid :)
For that reason we'll be done with VS for real only once I - or you - get tired of it.
We'll probably start developing something new in poncle, but support for VS will also carry on. As anticipated in the v1.0 announcement, we’ll need to do some QOL improvements on niche mechanics like Eggs and Limit Break, plus finishing the engine port. But brand new features are also in the works… 🙊
A huge thank you once again to all the players who turned this little weekend project into an insane success! 🙏
