Vampire Survivors News

[SPOILERS]


Today we're going to have a quick look at some UI and QOL improvemenets, starting from the Character Selection screen, where you'll finally be able to see what stages you have completed for each character:


The list is there only if you need an excuse to play more, if you find it annoying you'll also get the option to disable it altogether and forget it ever existed:


As you can see the Options menu now supports pagination, because we're expecting plenty of new options going forward. We'll reveal a couple of new ones in the following days 👀


In the Stage Selection screen now you can easily see where you can find new relics. Finding all of them will be very important for unlocking the new content of v1.0!


Once you unlock the Magic Banger, you'll also get the option to lock your music selection, so that it will persist between runs:


On top of these there are some other minor tweaks, like explaining that you keep gold and unlocks when quitting, or that you can skip Treasure animations, including 5 item ones.



Previous days:
Day 1: new relic Seventh Trumpet
Day 2: new skin Mask of the Red Death
Day 3: new Side B music Libro Inferno
Day 4: new skin Pugnala Provola

[SPOILERS]


We have a small update for Day 4, a new seconday skin for B- Pugnala! For Pugnala Provola!

Why secondary though? That's because all the new sprites have been made to replace the generic ones from an asset pack, but a few characters, like Christine, Pugnala, or Concetta, had always been drawn from scratch instead, so there is no real need to substitute them.

All the old skins were static sprites that got tweaked and animated by Twiranux and can always be selected in game after unlocking the Mindbender, while all the new skins are from Glauber Kotaki



Since a lot of fans have been asking for it, we're also publishing the new Boss Rash theme by Daniele Zandara!

On a totally unrelated note, on the 28th of October Bayo 3 will come out out so I'll finally have an excuse to take my first holiday of 2022 🥳
Anyway since VS will be on v1.0 on the 20th, I won't really have any work to do after that day, right? Right? 👀





Previous days:
Day 1: new relic, Seventh Trumpet
Day 2: new skin, Mask of the Red Death
Day 3: new Side B music Libro Inferno

On Day 3 we're bringing back something from the past!
If you have been following the development of VS since the early days, then you probably know that the Inlaid Library used to have a different background music.

That track was a major inspiration for the development of the Library (eg. exploding enemies wouldn't exist without it) but we had to remove it when Music Selection was introduced in the game, with the promise that it will be back one day.

Since then, expert midi tamer FIlippo Vicarelli has produced a new arrangement of the track exclusively for VS, but on top of that he's also been producing "Side B" music tracks for all the main stages!

There will be at least 12 new music tracks in v1.0, not only from Filippo but also from the incredible Daniele Zandara who already gave us an insane amount of bangers so far!

The new tracks will be released on the YT channel as usual:

I really like videogame music. There will be a lot more about it in the future, not necessarily bound to the advent calendar 👀



Previous days:
Day 1: new relic, Seventh Trumpet
Day 2: new skin, Mask of the Red Death

[SPOILERS]


We have a small update for Day 2, the new default skin for Mask of The Red Death! Courtesy of the incredible Glauber Kotaki, who's been working with us on new sprites since the lovely Giant Enemy Crab ❤



The old skin will still be selectable if you have unlocked the Mindbender. Also, this won't affect the aspect of the enemy Reaper.
