Vampire
Survivor
developer
Poncle
has
revealed
a
new
publishing
division.
Talking
at
Game
Republic’s
Pitching
to
Investors
and
Publishers
event
in
Liverpool
yesterday,
the
team
insisted
it
did
not
“want
IP”
and
would
not
operate
as
a
“traditional
publisher”
but
would
work
more
as
a
label
or
fund
to
enable
people
to
“make
their
games.”
Poncle’s
publishing
arm
will
offer
funding,
as
well
as
platform
support,
localisation,
QA,
release
management,
and
development
advice
for
games
built
with
“sincerity,
passion,
and
depth.”
Marketing
support
will
also
be
available
to
help
indie
devs
release
highly
“replayable,
affordable,
and
fun”
games.
“We
want
to
sign
everything!”
the
team
said
during
the
presentation.
“But
we’re
very
smol!”
Poncle
also
outlined
its
“insta-nos”,
which
included
anything
“Survivor-like,”
anything
AI
or
Web3
related,
and
free-to-play
mobile
games.
Vampire
Survivors
joined
the
list
of
video
game
adaptations
when
last
year,
it
was
greenlit
for
an
animated
TV
show.
Poncle
announced
that
it
will
be
working
with
entertainment
firm
Story
Kitchen,
which
is
overseen
by
co-producer
of
Sonic
the
Hedgehog
movie
Dmitri
Johnson,
John
Wick
creator
Derek
Kolstad,
and
Mike
Goldberg.
