New Collab Discussions

[crisp marlin]

Welp I tried

[lime comet]

Collab wiht terraria or dead cells

[azure musk]

the game uses courier (bolded) / courier new, btw

[crisp marlin]

Really? I tried finding the font and no sources say what it was, thanks

Ugh I'm going to have to redo them now...

Ugh forget it, I'll continue using the font I'm using now, I'm not trying to make it super super accurate, just trying to get my ideas across

I have two more after all

[ashen rune]

I made the place bigger

[deep elm]

wait is someone recreating vs

[ashen rune]

No it's just a concept game for touhou DLC

[crisp marlin]

We all love concepts

[cedar epoch]

maybe there would Warhammer dlc?

the 40K version, like each Primarch and the unknown Primarch's would work for VS as original characters, and the ones who has corrupted forms would be their own characters?

like Fulgrim, he would have his armored and unarmored forms on the same character while the Slaanesh form would be his own character?

and unique weapons, would be each of the Primarch signature weapon? and some weapons of the named demons?, or maybe it would be on the Warhammer survivors?

[crisp marlin]

I made a thing

Don't know if I should send it here or in VS art

[twilit fulcrum]

Probably under art

[crisp marlin]

Thanks

[severe wyvern]

tbh there is only one thing we need to happen in order for poncle to make Touhou DLC happen.

Get ZUN to make a remix of one of Vampire Survivor's original tracks.

[ashen rune]

hey Im making a concept game for touhou DLC for VS heres an example
and also the weapon is an evo named shikigami ran

[primal bridge]

Hey, since we have Marvel Cosmic Invasion coming out in December, what about a Marvel collab? Basically, all the various powers and weapons from Marvel could be stuff you could use, like the Vibranium Shield, Mjolnir and Stormbreaker, Tony Stark's Nanotech, the Infinity Gauntlet, the Heart of the Universe, the Cosmic Cube, Phylla-Vel's sword, Silver Surfer's Surfboard, the Golden Serum that Bob Reynolds took to become the Sentry, the Eye of Agamoto, the Book of the Vishanti, the Darkhold, the One Above All's Pencil, the Odinsword, the Casket of Eternal Winters, the Destroyer Armor, All-Black the Necrosword... hell, a weapon union could be combing Mjolnir and Silver Surfer's Surfboard to form the giant battleaxe that God of Light Venom used in the King in Black comic.

[languid matrix]

as long as its not mcu (specifically post-endgame) i'll accept it

[latent basalt]

It's another IP owned by Square, maybe the fact that the live event was in Lucca was foreshadowing 😛

[vague hound]

Lucca Comics Is the biggest and most known Comic Con in Italy... I know people have the freedom to dream but I think that's just a coincidence

[latent basalt]

Mostly shitposting with that one

But it's not impossible 👀

[twilit lintel]

Hear me out:
-Pizza Tower
-Terraria
-Celeste
-Don’t Starve
-Armello
-Peak (I feel like AggroCrab would have a blast w this lol)

I loveeeeee this

[crisp marlin]

I got more if you'd like to see

[twilit lintel]

Yesss!

[crisp marlin]

I can show you everything in DM if you want

[latent basalt]

I initially read that as "AggroCrag" and I was like yoooo, fellow 90s kid? 😛

[twilit lintel]

For sure!!

[twilit lintel]

Ayeeeee fellow 90s kid!!!!!

[twilit lintel]

But also: aggrocrag map

[latent basalt]

Just a general 90s Nick collab would be amazing, even if it's not gonna happen lol

My profile pic in VS? Yeah, I'm down lol

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/code-lyoko-aelita-jeremy-yumi-ulrich-gif-18036051293836591217

Anyone here remember

[latent basalt]

I haven't thought about Code Lyoko in so many years

[twilit lintel]

Daaamn that was fire

[balmy aspen]

Holy damn, thats insane!

Just cant believe i have never thought about It

Love the spices those weapon have, really do capture the essence of both VS and Touhou

[plain forge]

I'm not sure about CT, though. Squenix hasn't really done anything with it after all this time, and with Toriyama's passing, the window has probably closed

[ashen rune]

and also I made youmus weapon this is basically just victory sword slash

[atomic bone]

I wish a Terraria collab DLC

[hazy lily]

bloons tower defence 6 the heroes are the characters and the rest of the towers are weapons that act like turets

[twilit lintel]

Ope also Look Outside; so many interesting characters

[ashen rune]

its master spark weapon I finally fucking made it

[crisp marlin]

That beam will be like the Mega blast Idea I had for a tboi Collab!!

[latent basalt]

Marisa ❤️

[ashen rune]

and also yuuka

[crisp marlin]

Where's the Dio girl sukuya

And ice girl cirno

[ashen rune]

Yes she will soon

[ashen rune]

Sadly there won't be cirno because I didn't create the sprite she/he only made the character sprite like reimu, Marisa, sakuya, sanae, Alice, yuuka, yukari, and reisen

[crisp marlin]

Aw man

[ashen rune]

But don't worry there will be weapons related to cirno

[crisp marlin]

Cool

[whole arrow]

• witcher
• devil may cry

[plain forge]

Feels like Megaman and Touhou are the 2 biggest crossover requests currently

I wouldn't say no to an Enter the Gungeon one, though

[latent snow]

@harsh hearth Since you asked me how to implement a mod system in a hypothetical Warframe collab DLC, I got some ideas:

• Find the Mod Segment relic in the Warframe level to spawn mod pickups outside of said map. Mods passively rank themselves up as you level up and include:
  • Split Chamber: 2x Amount multiplier at max rank
  • Organ Shatter: 1.5x crit damage multiplier at max rank (debating the values on this one because I don't want Reinhardt to lose his niche)
  • Blind Range: Sacrifice Cooldown for Might
  • Fleeting Expertise: Sacrifice Area for Cooldown
  • Frail Momentum: Sacrifice Might for Projectile Speed (yes, I know the original mod focuses on fire rate, but that's cooldown's job in VS)
  • Summoner's Wrath: Increased Might for followers (and possibly summoned entities like Gatti)
  • Chicken Conversion: Health Conversion for Floor Chickens. Overhealing by x grants up to three single-use shields that negate damage.

[harsh hearth]

Soooooo survarots?

[latent snow]

Kind of.

Maybe make it so you have to find dupes to level them up perhaps.

And come to think of it my Blind Rage suggestion is redundant with Christine's Survarot.

[woven sandal]

megaman is so perfect for a collab

[latent basalt]

The music would COOK.

Plenty of characters and weapons too.

[atomic bone]

Warframe players spotted

Wake up tenno

[atomic bone]

Relics can drop from objects in the environment, such as clovers. To pick up a relic, it will require 0/10 void fissures to open. You would have about 10-15 seconds to kill enemies that have turned golden, and they might drop those items that open the relic. Opening the relic would cause it to function like a chest, dropping a prime piece of an in-game item, for example, an evolved garlic. By combining 4-3 Prime pieces you acquire the item. Which would basically be evolved garlic with a golden sprite and improved stats. After opening a relic it gives a temporary buff, like movement speed for 10 secs, reduced cooldown and etc... Also relics can give prime weapons with unique attacks.

For example.
Corinthis prime: Shoot in front of the character, only to the left or right. Every 10 kills it shoot upwards dealing a shockwave attack on the screen.
Vadarya prime: Shoot a single projectile. Killing a enemy strike a lightining strike in a chain reaction

Just ideas

[latent snow]

Probably rename them cabbages or something, since Vampire Survivors uses that term in a different context

Cavolo Dorato (Golden Cabbage) for Void Relics.

Still keeps the food naming of VS.

[harsh hearth]

I don't think relics would be a good idea to implement. Because then you'd have weapons AND characters locked by replaying the same mission 4 times with abysmal loot tables. For warframe it's good to keep players playing but for vampire survivors it makes the short game longer.

and well...the thing that makes primes good is less forma due to more polarity slots which vampire survivors wouldn't be able to do very well

other than that it's just a slight buff

I think primes should be included if the buffs are greater in the sense for vampire survivors but def not locked behind relics. Maybe beat a certain boss like corrupted vor or something with every frame.

[plain forge]

But ghosts aren't real

[deep elm]

its obviously just a trick of the light

[visual dawn]

they can still have health bars

[crisp marlin]

Nah, that'd be a lot

Either they move off screen or do enough damage to another enemy

I have a feeling the Evo for that weapon will make turned allies have the ability to make enemies allies

[visual dawn]

we're quoting the bestiary

[echo lava]

Look at this beautiful Colt Canyon screen shot and tell me it would be awesome to have a collab 🙏

[foggy violet]

Crossover with Bloodstained and Persona! (Please?)

[quartz compass]

Deadly towers on NES

[pallid flicker]

Some of my wanted collabs:

• Metal Slug
• Warhammer (assuming that Games Workshop would allow them to use some assets from Warhammer Survivors that they are working on)
• Touhou Project
• Undertale/Deltarune

[open wedge]

https://www.tiktok.com/@poncle_games/video/7383004928769396000?utm_campaign=tt4d_open_api&utm_source=aw6nbmzxehfxfqzv

vampire and elden ring collab ?

[dim granite]

It would be funnier if it’s a Fromsoft x Vampire Survivors collab(aka characters across the Fromsoft universe in Vampire Survivors)

[vast snow]

My dreams might come true🥹

[cedar epoch]

Wait... that is actually cooking

[twilit burrow]

How about vampire survivors and fortnite collab?

[obsidian topaz]

Id honestly love a back bling of Poe on Fortnite lmao

[green briar]

King’s Field I hope.

[merry aurora]

hatsune miku vampire survivors

idk about a whole DLC around her but it'd be really cool if she was in it and could have a weapon that creates a song around her and music notes fly out of it

lots of music options if you did want a DLC around her but other vocaloids arent nearly as popular characters

then again ante chamber was fairly small in scope so its possible but it was also free

[vague hound]

a Vocaloid collab would be pretty funny

[merry aurora]

obvious evolution https://tenor.com/view/miku-gif-3884875785910395886

[vague hound]

I don't listen to Vocaloid that much, the songs I listen to are memes or specific trands like the brazilian Miku one.

also Kasane Teto as a dictator was funny

[vague hound]

yes indeed

[deep elm]

if a vocaloid collab happens and neru's secret code isn't "theyellowone" im gonna riot

[merry aurora]

ohheyitsrin

[whole arrow]

• Stranger Things
• Full Metal Alchemist

[hardy night]

Mob psycho 100

I can dream too

😭

[queen kestrel]

unless they just do the cryptons licensing is gonna be hell

[dim granite]

True… but we did get Square Enix and Konami’s permission for collabs

Also I’m hoping we get Touhou so I have a proper excuse to mention Yuuma who in an overly simplified explanation about her character would be to call her Yakuza Boss Kirby…
Cause she’s a Crime Boss and her ability has some aspects of what makes Kirby…Kirby… also because I want her comically large Spork/Spoon as a weapon…
No really look at this

[pallid flicker]

Yeah. Yuuma is cool and honestly needs more attention. A Touhou collab would really shine some light on some lesser talked characters like Chimata Tenkyuu

[pallid flicker]

I mean, look at this little goober

[ember musk]

Bloodstained collab when

[modern nimbus]

When undertale collab

[limber sinew]

new waldo weapon where finding him (done by walking into him) triggers a troll bomb explosion

[weary briar]

Soda Dungeon Collab

[latent basalt]

It would never happen, but Five Nights at Freddy's for the memes.

[queen kestrel]

Collab with slay the spire 2 once it comes out

[dim granite]

That will reach Emergency Meeting levels of “HOW ARE THEY GONNA MAKE WEAPONS?!”…
Like at a minimum I know they will find a funny way to Weaponized the Nightguards means of defense

[plain forge]

Re-suggesting Megaman again, especially since they got a new game coming up

[latent basalt]

So need a VS remix of Metal Man's stage

[dark gate]

FAITH: The Unholy Trinity

Need I say more

[inner flare]

Street of Rage collab

[obsidian topaz]

Taito collab for their retro games in general like Space Invaders

[daring acorn]

Doom
jojo
mortal kombat
Bloons
Terraria

[atomic bone]

Lego

[cursive gorge]

yakuza

[lean otter]

My dream collab is definetely with the Rogue Legacy saga. Rogue Legacy (and specially the second) are my most favorite games of all the time, and since VS is one of my most fave as well, it would be so epic (also I think it could be interesting since the guy who makes the characters sprites, Glauber Kotaki, worked on RL as well).

[bronze sundial]

Hey Megabonk
Terraria
Stardew valley Coral island
No man sky
Final Fantasy
and The Binding of isaac !!!

[obsidian topaz]

No Mans Sky is a great idea actually

Atari
Cult of the Lamb
Date Everything

[charred forge]

There is so much potential for a Touhou Project collab!

[obsidian topaz]

Gnosia collab 🔥

[obsidian topaz]

Arcade Paradise

[vocal moat]

battle cats

[dim granite]

How would that collab work?
OH IDEA!! The initial character is the Gacha capsule and at the start of the run it randomly selects one of the cars to play as and doing the corresponding challenge will not only allow you to select that particular cat as a set character but also adds 2-3 new cats to the pool.

[vocal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/super-galaxy-cosmo-battle-cats-the-battle-cats-gif-12342635914898115293

[vocal moat]

thats a really cool idea!

[spark cargo]

I'm a newly attached fan of VS and although I'm still missing the Guns expansion as the current situation is still a bit dear - I continue on dreaming as others stated for something more like** Samurai Warriors/Dynasty Warriors** or even some anime cross-overs (Bleach would have endless possibilities, so many unique and substantial skills with different Zanpakutos and of course, so many characters to choose from, especially since Unohana Retsu is both a Legendary Healer and a Legendary Killer. Blood theme suits really well with VS.)

[vocal moat]

yes absolutely yes

[latent basalt]

I still want to believe this meant something.

[visual dawn]

it was at the moment when he talked about inspiration from other composers, so maybe it was just a neat way to say there was some inspiration from the chocobo theme from final fantasy 3

[queen kestrel]

Hololive collab

[ember musk]

Fallout collab isn't realistic but I'd quite like it

[dim granite]

Buddy… we had an AMONG US DLC… ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE… and even then we had a Castlevania Collab so big Konami could’ve turned it into its own separate game… so who knows maybe Todd Howard is willing to join the madness

[weary briar]

GTA collab

[rain garnet]

Monster hunter Collab

[ember musk]

bloodstained collab when

[obsidian topaz]

Spongebob, Shrek, Adventure Time.. all of them have been in other games as collabs (thinking of Powerwash Simulator)

[plain forge]

Seconding Megaman yet again, but recently I've gotten myself into Risk of Rain 2 and Bloons TD6

And well, Ninja Kiwi teased some sort of horde survival game in their youtube channel...

[blazing widget]

power rangers or kamen rider or ultraman collab

[dim granite]

Kamen Rider because I feel like more people need to witness the gloriously chaotic stupid energy that is Kamen Rider out of context… which sometimes makes even less sense in context

[plain forge]

Toei is notoriously stingy with their toku properties though

[crisp marlin]

I know I'm late, but green dragon = mega man?

[full barn]

colab with command and conquer

[atomic bone]

Cloverpit

[plain forge]

That green dragon doesn't really look like the mecha dragon, but hmm...

[hollow kernel]

Guardian Tales

[blazing valve]

Honestly with the final fantasy references it would be hilarious if instead they just went with dragon quest

[vocal moat]

day 1 of asking for metal slug

[steel crater]

What if we get a Fighting Game collab, which one would be best?

Killer Instinct?

[ember musk]

put me in Vampire Survivors

[atomic bone]

Cloverpit

[obsidian topaz]

Luck be a Landlord

[lean otter]

EVERYTHING (the game)

[visual dawn]

video game (specifically the game called "video game") collab

[obsidian topaz]

YES

Underrated af game

[calm vapor]

risk of rain 🥺

overwatch? 🥹

[obsidian topaz]

Lmao imagine Vampire Survivors skins in Overwatch

Like Soilder 76 or Rein as Poe

Honestly I know it'll likely never have a way to happen but it would be cool for VS to come to Fortnite like maybe a garlic backbling and some type of emote

[calm vapor]

nah fortnite to vs, more vs content. no one cares about fortnite

[obsidian topaz]

Lmao plenty of people do 💀

But why not both?

[calm vapor]

both w/e, just want vs content. fortnite can jog on

[obsidian topaz]

Oh ya there are collabs I'd want to come to VS much more like Cult of the Lamb, Arcade Paradise and Date Everything.. also more orginal content

[lean otter]

Blizzard could perfectly take the VS engine and make a Overwatch survivors (or even a survivors of any of their IPs)

[plain forge]

Yeah, but we're talking about Blizzard here

[dense agate]

I think a Breath of Fire (specifically BoF 3) crossover would be awesome. Seeing as how Capcom pretty much obliterated its chances from ever existing as a game again with that trash mobile game, I think the next best thing I can think of to keep it somewhat alive is for Poncle to turn it into a gnarly DLC. They'd definitely do it justice.

There's so many different combinations they could do with the Dragon Gene system that already exists and even new combos they could make up. I'd buy that the second it came out.

[plain forge]

Feels like Capcom has decided to move on with MH Stories as their new flagship JRPG

[dense agate]

Yeah, it would be nice if they'd let someone else take over BoF or at least license it out for crossovers.

[plain forge]

I think the 2010s pretty much traumatized Capcom from ever working with third parties again

Now they make everything in house

[obsidian topaz]

Small Peak collab (bing bong, scout master and the player as characters)

[steep ermine]

That small Vampire Crawlers game made by who knows should collaborate with Vampire Survivors

[deep elm]

yeah
plus i think the devs would get along well

[vague hound]

ok, real talk... Berserk or Die and Kill the Brickman

[dense agate]

Let's get some Bomberman in here.

[livid sentinel]

i think a jujutsu kaisen dlc would be a banger when the anime ends

but i don't know how hard the rights would be to get 😅

[viscid needle]

It’d probably be Darkstalkers, not that KI wouldn’t be fun.

Capcom would want to gauge how much we want another DS game by how many purchase the DLC.

[atomic bone]

Terraria

[woven sandal]

megamaaaaaan

[outer storm]

Homestuck. Full stop

I have some Ideas for some of the spells to unlock characters,
John/June Egbert: dothewindything for John, transrights for June costume
Rose Lalonde: flightybroad
Dave Strider: coolkid
Jade Harley: dogtier

The unique thing about this DLC would be that characters have abilities that need to be triggered to function

i'm sorry if i sound very autistic (^..)

[obsidian topaz]

Homestuck is just.. has so many issues with stuff in it

I wouldn't feel comfortable supporting a collab from a series with that many problematic aspects

To each their own but if that, Harry Potter or a Vizzipop thing came to VS I'd pass even if the best weapons were in it

[outer storm]

it doesn't??? and you legitimately can't compare homestuck to Harry Potter or Vivziepop because one is written by a transphobic hag, and the other is worse than Homestuck in legitimately all regards?

[obsidian topaz]

Maybe it's not as bad as I've heard though.. I really don't know but what I've heard was enough to put me off

[obsidian topaz]

Racism and ableism in Homestuck is a LOT

They use slurs and have a running joke that's just racist 😭

[outer storm]

The writer has apologised for it, though

[obsidian topaz]

I won't argue with you here but it is definitely comparable

[vocal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-slug-gif-14311126203936609287

[humble ocean]

This is a completely crazy idea, and I'm not sure if it'd be disliked, but a One Piece collab would be insane.

There'd be no shortage of unique characters, weapons and skills, and plenty of stage potential. Just a thought I had a few days back 😅.

[quartz compass]

Claire obscure, expedition 33

[limber sinew]

ooooh, sorry, but according to the rules, we're not supposed to talk about ai generated content here...

[outer storm]

It was a single texture

[limber sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-it's-just-the-way-it-is-i'm-just-the-messenger-gif-6270475095135913721

[quartz compass]

They use AI?

[limber sinew]

yea, they used it for concept stuff, some of it got into the full release, and it was disqualified from the indie game awards because of it

[plain forge]

From what I heard down the grapevine, it wasn't even intentional

The AI asset was just part of the asset pack they bought or something

[vocal moat]

expedition 33 is the biggest plant ever

[obsidian topaz]

Cult of the Lamb collab would be perfect with the recent DLC drop and stuff

[harsh hearth]

What they used was AI placeholders. Essentially small details like posters that serve the purpose to be replaced by actual in-game assets. This was all patched in day one. So no, E33 doesn't "use AI generated content" in their finished product. At least, not in the sense the rule being mentioned is addressing.

[woven sandal]

it was 1 placeholder during dev that got removed
people are literally throwing a bitch fit because they did that instead of using a Grey square

[plain forge]

It was a combination of the E33 sweep and AI paranoia

[toxic ridge]

Been playing a bit of Kingdom Two Crowns. Would make some neat mechanics turning VS into a weird lil Tower Defense, strat RPG

Before the screen fills up with weapons and your gaming implement fan sounds like it's prepping for takeoff at least.

[obsidian topaz]

Sounds intresting actually

Tower Defense.. mnaybe Plants VS Zombies would be a cool collab too

[woven sandal]

tbh I think it was mostly people salty over the sweep

[plain forge]

If you want a tower defense collab, you gotta go with Bloons

[toxic ridge]

Yeah, could use the special spawns mechanics/power-ups but instead have them be building plots for walls/towers/archers/ally spawners etc

[toxic ridge]

Im aware it exists, but I've never done more than glance at the cover art. Command & Conquer, StarCraft, Warcraft, and Age of Empires/mythology really pulled me in back in ye olden days. Which is why I was leaning towards more tower defense x strat rpg style

Gonna Google it, but I presume bloons is about popping balloons before they reach x point?

[azure musk]

Yea

[plain forge]

Aside from bullet hell, I feel like tower defense is the other best genre to collab with VS

[obsidian topaz]

Sanrio collab, imagine Hello Kitty mowing down thousands of enemies

[lean otter]

imagine the hello Kitty characters cosplayed as VS characters

[toxic ridge]

Reminds me of the meowpocalypse from spamming Terraria's meowmere

[outer storm]

hatsune miku collab where every character is either a cryptonloid, a project sekai character, licenced derivatives, kasane teto, or a variation of miku

[pallid flicker]

Not gonna lie, a Miku collab would unironically slap. With just how insane it can be

[graceful rock]

I got some collaboration idea wizard of coast dnd and magic the gathering and zum aka team shanghai Alice collaboration with vampire survivors. Touhou make more sense as zum indie developer his games are bullet hell but also vampire survivors x magic the gathering put planewalkers in the game and make the spell card the enemies like silver hive. In exchange wizards of coast make vampire survivors X magic the gathering cards.

[raven sable]

Yeah considering how free roam this can be I wouldn't be surprised if they do cod zombies

The only collaboration I can think about and would like to see at some point is final fantasy (which I'm surprised it's not the next DLC after Saga)

[vague hound]

what's the next collab then?

[woven iron]

we dont know

[raven sable]

Kind of unpredictable right now like I was expecting final fantasy to be next after Saga before balatro showed up

I was kind of basing it off of Contra DLC and then they release Castlevania next

[vague hound]

bc the Chaos Roadmap has Final Flight as one of the closest things

[azure musk]

||final flight isnt final fantasy, btw||

[vague hound]

serious?

damn

[woven iron]

yeah

[azure musk]

Yes.

[vague hound]

is there like a channel/sub where they try to piece together the Roadmap...? I feel like I'm missing out

[woven iron]

theres occasional talk in #💀survivors-spoilers about it, but nothing crazy

[raven sable]

To be honest the chaos road map is kind of unpredictable other than you sent me images as a teaser and that's it

[woven iron]

thats the point of it

[weary briar]

[[roadmap]]

[calm gull]

https://vampire.survivors.wiki/w/Roadmap

[raven sable]

I know although it's going to be a while speculation until a teaser or an announcement of an update

[woven iron]

we already have teasers of the next update

[azure musk]

^

It’s ||the lycaeum, the vacuum pickup stage||

[vague hound]

oOOOooh!

[woven iron]

aka ||moongolow remix/bonus||

[vague hound]

I forgor about that

aight, tnx bros!

[raven sable]

Yeah that's going to be a lot to think about

Once I get back home I'm going to be doing more vampire crawlers and survivor later

[weary briar]

in 2023 these ones was also on the roadmap, dunno if any came already: honey moon, top secrets [maybe room 1665], chalcedony, those people, first blood.

[azure musk]

All of those released:

• honey moon was space 54
• top secret was 1665
• chalcedony was emergency meeting
• those people is otc
• first blood is operation guns

[fair herald]

Well obviously Hammer is the Final Fantasy collab as a hammer is one of the weapons in the original. Duh

[weary briar]

Thanks Staf

[limber sinew]

||||

[fair herald]

Ah how could I forget (I have no idea what that means)

[lethal gorge]

VS x Warframe collab was already mentioned here a couple of times, but I still want to show this. Amir is talking about a game he wants to make, and the description he gives is pretty much very close to VS. This is legit a single but huge step towards the possible collaboration between these two games. Almost feels like an invitation from Digital Extremes, as if they're saying "we're open for a collab"

[fair herald]

Could we have a collab with real world history with real historical figures added to the game?

[outer storm]

I will never shut up about how homestuck would make the perfect collab with Vampire survivors!
None may stop me!
It's kind of a problem i'm working through!

[digital radish]

This is a hot take but danganronpa. The murder weapons are there basic weapons and then the executions are their evolved forms.

[outer storm]

Never though about that... I assume the gimmick for the stage would be body discoveries

[digital radish]

Yep!

[digital radish]

Different forms of Monokuma and the bears can be minor enemies while the mini bosses are the murderers. Find all the bodies and you can fight the mastermind

[teal marten]

hot take jojos

[outer storm]

So… hot like room temperature water?

Saying this as a positive!

[fair herald]

We would need a separate DLC for each part to fully get JoJo
One DLC is too small.

[raven sable]

Both of them are in Balatro I can definitely see that happen and probably they're gonna add every single Warframe and possibly a few side characters like Karl ( Although I kind of wanted Final Fantasy out of the way first before we do something like this)

[harsh hearth]

That first one wasn't Amir referencing VS. It was Warframe. The 2nd one though does look like their referencing VS but it could just be Castlevania.

Specifically Castlevania 64 since the main character rode a motorcycle and I think used whips too? Idk never played it.

[fair herald]

Nah, only the skeletons rode motorcycles in Castlevania 64

[raven sable]

Yeah I think I remember when I saw the reference I was like Konami please resurrect Castlevania and years later

[raven sable]

I'm surprised they didn't add any 64 reps or lower the shadows as well as the main guy for circle of The moon

[harsh hearth]

hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BOY YOU'RE IN FOR A SURPRISE

||The only one not on that list that isn't in ode to castlevania, is LoS characters because Konami wasn't responsible for creating the entire series, so Poncle would have to shoot extra hoops to get those characters in the game.||

[tender meteor]

No More Heroes would be cool. Or anything from Suda51 honestly.

[raven sable]

I'm assuming another update expansion is coming and also yeah there's going to be at least some hoops with the Lord of shadows reps

[harsh hearth]

Have u actually played a run with Richter in VS?

In the castlevania stage I mean

[raven sable]

Actually not yet I have an unlocked richter or the black disc or the secrets

Right now I'm kind of juggling between collaboration DLCs

[harsh hearth]

Yeahhhh go ahead and do that when you can.

Also personally I prefer to play DLC's with just DLC equipment so that way I can work with the gimmicks of the DLC's using only the tools the DLC maps provide. Like for example the upgrade kits in contra you won't find outside of level ups anywhere else.

Vampire Survivors feat. TAME IMPALA - DEADBEAT

I’m playing Vampire Survivors and absolutely loving it. Then, I had an idea that would be AMAZING, a DLC featuring Tame Impala, where you play as DRACULA with the music dracula. Every sound, every color, and every enemy or drop would perfectly match the music. Every time the music changes, the colors and enemies would also change. I think this would be a great addition to the game and would also be very new and iconic for Tame Impala and the music/game industry. Giving the gamer a renewed sense of motivation to play again and again. (It could also work with other albums or artists, but I think the thematic elements of Tame Impala’s Deadbeat album work perfectly.)

[severe wyvern]

I would love a Metal Slug colab but I feel like it'd be Contra but again

[fiery shale]

Megaman, Megaman X, Megaman Zero, Megaman ZX, Megaman Battle Networks, Megaman Starforce, and Megaman Legends Collab would be Incredible

[weary briar]

collab with vampire crawlers

[deep elm]

ultrakill collab
all im saying is that 8-4 name is quite the coincidence

[languid matrix]

event horizon (vs ver.) would go so hard that the universe is ultrakill'd

[outer storm]

i will never shut up about a homestuck collab
Getting that peak in is real shit

[elfin ferry]

now that we saw this happening and that we have seen bisconte kiss jimbo before, with a balatro collab happening, can sts be next, with ironclad, silent, defect, and watcher be included?

Totally didn't just subject myself to using Tw*tter to go plant that seed

[fiery shale]

With this they could add the mega buster, the Z Saber, various Boss abilities, a bunch of characters, E packs, and even the armor pieces as upgrades or unlocks for characters, or both, since mechanics them selves are both unlocked and funtion a little different depending on the character you are playing as.

[toxic ridge]

Having just played vampire crawlers, I didn't think id be into a card based dungeon crawler. But, it's also made me rethink the collab with Dynasty Warriors. I was so busy thinking about a Dynasty Warriors/RotTK era VS infusion that I failed to consider the opposite. A Vampire Warriors Musou game with all of our favorite Survivors running around button mashing with some rpg elements for leveling, equipment, weapons, etc.

[plain forge]

For a Megaman collab, I'd suggest going series by series and not just go for everything at once

Because the entire Megaman franchise is like 7 different series in a trenchcoat

[raven sable]

I can put under maybe but for now I'm still think about wanting to do final fantasy before something like slay the spire

[fiery shale]

the emerald diorama is someting close to FF Right, it is a Square Enix property

[weary briar]

heartstone collab with vc

[obsidian topaz]

Vampire Crawlers x Slay the Spire, Balatro, Inscription, Card en Ciel and Monster Train

[fair herald]

Can we have a collab with actors from a movie but not the movie itself so it's legally not the movie but all of the major actors are there so it kinda is

[languid matrix]

thats replacing an idea with some downsides but works with another that is VERY risky and probably wont work
collabing with real people is NEVER a good idea as there WILL be dramas

[fair herald]

(I just realized this isn't joke suggestions)

An actual collab idea though could be to do what Among Us did and do like an indie game variety one. It probably wouldn't work because small DLCs can and have happened. But there are plenty of cool indie games that could be fun
(And I know it would probably never happen but Pokémon would be really cool)

[plain forge]

Best you'll get is Palworld

[fair herald]

Honestly not bad at all. I'll take that

Plus there also is the issue with a Pokémon collab (which would probably be a standalone survivors game like Warhammer). That it would probably just be Pokémon and none of the human characters which isn't the worse but still a bit of a bummer

[plain forge]

I mean, Temtem Swarm is there

[fiery shale]

Temtem swarm has potential to be great/to open up a great subgenre of games that functions in the same way, i want it for digimon, i would say Pokémon, but that's a different issue. lol

[fair herald]

The worst part of Pokemon collabs is just that having collab games isn't something new for the series
Just dead for a long while (kinda) mostly because of the lack of spinoffs instead focusing on mobile side games. But maybe with Pokopia's success Pokémon spin offs can return...
Pokémon Survivors next year trust

[obsidian topaz]

Pokemon would never collab with an indie game.. Nintendo couldn't even work out a Fortnite collab without demanding the Samus skin only be visible on Switch.

[fair herald]

There was the Legend of Zelda and Crypt of the Necrodancer collab game, so Nintendo can collaborate with indie games. Though with Pokemon and it being controlled by multiple companies it probably makes that very hard

[viscid needle]

Pokémon Survivors ala warhammer

That’s interesting. Hoards of Rattatas coming at you

Dragonite wobbling over as a boss

Mewtwo replacing Red Death

Mew replacing white

[fair herald]

Nah White Hand is replaced by a trainer with a Master Ball

(If you play as a Pokemon)

If you play as a trainer then like I dunno maybe Cynthia with the chimes being replaced by her encounter theme

[visual dawn]

what about the war machine that can destroy the world from gen 6

[fair herald]

That's a weapon evo most definitely

[toxic ridge]

I can see it now. Cave on the map. Zubats, Golbats, and Crobats spawn. So many bats. They use sonic attacks to make you confused and reverse your controls and damage yourself and teammates.

[indigo wave]

I honestly think Terraria could be fun, they have a merchant already even to buy the specific weapons from.

[lusty gust]

Vampire Survivors x Terraria

[quartz compass]

Boss monster collab

[raven sable]

Honestly 50 50 Can be good or bad to be honest

[raven sable]

Pokemon is least likely for obvious reasons

[raven sable]

Well considering the frequent crossovers Terraria then yes ( Same goes with Shovel Knight as well as also Enter the gungeon)

[obsidian topaz]

Ufo 50 collab would go crazy

[upper condor]

Terraria collab

[quartz compass]

Street of Rage collab

[lusty gust]

if only i could code... i would make a fan collab myself

[pallid flicker]

This idea is mainly for the tabletop roleplaying game nerds (like me):

A Paizo collab, including Pathfinder and Starfinder

[vast ivy]

Collab with Devolver Digital to make a Broforce DLC

For anyone that doesn't know, Broforce is a sidescroller shooter and it's premise is exagerated "bro" characters that fight to save the world from aliens and terrorists.

I think it would be a great fit for this game.
Every Broforce character has different weapons. Evolutions could be their specials attacks.

We have Contra DLC, so it wouldn't be out of left field.

[fiery shale]

collab with cult of the lamb, it would be sooooo fun for some of the crown weapons, plus the bishops, and there could event be an adventure based on the game.

[vast ivy]

(off-topic, can this channel be renamed to follow other channels' naming rules? "{Icon}new-collab-discussions"

[languid matrix]

this isnt a channel tho, this is still essentially a forum post

[vast ivy]

Oh wait.

Sorry

My bad, hard to see on mobile 🙁

[raven sable]

I remember that game

sort of where I got my 80s and 90s Knowledge from Action movie Heroes are from Where my knowledge

[raven sable]

Yeah I can put under more likely to be honest

[vast ivy]

Brominator!!

[ember onyx]

I'd love to see an ultrakill collab
could see a lot of options for possible weapons and characters and such

• piercer revolver, evolves into marksman revolver
• v1, v2, gabriel, and the two prime souls are all great options for playable characters, I could see v1 being about movespeed and projectile speed, v2 being about might, gabriel being luck and armor, and sisyphus being greed, minos I'm not too sure, maybe max hp?

[harsh eagle]

I still believe a Dragon Quest collab would be so gas, either that or FF

There's so many iconic monsters I wholeheartedly believe it'd work

-# Plus a finally playable Erdrick would be pretty cool

Much like a certain Morris

[visual dawn]

dragon quest collab but it's just slime variants

that would be pretty funny

[limber sinew]

do you mean: rocket slime?

[covert parrot]

Is this just a place to give your own suggestions or to also give your thoughts on ones others have made?

Also Bug Fables would be a great pick! They've done collabs before, being in Fraymakers as an example, so it shouldn't be difficult to make happen on the legal end, and there's a lot of potential in terms of stages, characters, and weapons. For example, Mothiva! Not only could her singing make a unique attack (which she already does in her fight), having Zasp retaliate when she's damaged could be a really fun mechanic.

[weary briar]

Pinball collab where all bullets from weapons on that dlc ricochet and each time that happen dmg on that project raises, when score reaches maximum the bullets from those weapons disappears and It starts all over again from the begining || absurd duration without even needing duration stat while raising dmg a lot|| || in fact to keep the increased dmg for longer going with one weapon from that dlc would be better||

[plain forge]

A new beta has just dropped

Does this mean we'll be getting a new collab?

[azure musk]

not necessarily, unless they reveal something last minute

or we find out via datamining

given that they've started teasing what's almost definitely a new original dlc, i feel like we won't see another major collab for the rest of this year

[plain forge]

Damn

[covert parrot]

I'd love a new original DLC. Moonspell and Foscari were great

[waxen wharf]

Because something in the message was tripping the anti-external link for some bizarre reason, here's my list of ideas

[teal estuary]

I think Maplestory would make for an excellent collab. It's an MMO from South Korean that's been around for about 20 years now. Last I played the game had 40-50 classes. It has a huge variety of mobs, bosses that can only be challenged once everyday day/week/month, and an significant amount of lore surrounding important and popular NPCs.

The only problem is that Maplestory is well known for its distinctive artstyle.

[alpine remnant]

if they can collab with capcom I want mega man the most
gimme all the skins availavke to x dive

oh and, speaking of bullet hell, touhou when

[quartz horizon]

hypothetical ultrakill vs collab save me, save me sawblade launcher from ultrakill as a weapon in vs,,,

[whole arrow]

warcraft iii frozen throne & reign of chaos
battle realms

[brittle shore]

ok like this is a long shot. but i have to try, for if you dont try, then you never know what might be posable.

a collab with cookie run kingdom. this idea came to me cuz of CRK newst update and collab with kpop demon hunters, were one of the mini games plays like vampire surviors. i just think it would be cool to see cookies like gingerbrave, dark coco, shadow milk or whoever eles gets aproved in VS, and to see poe as a cookie XD

And while this feels like a crackshot collab, we have a collab with balatro and castlevainya. And only one of those fully makes sense XD

[harsh eagle]

Yk I'm certain it's been said at least a hundred times now but I think it'd be neat if we could get a boomer shooter, or at least boomer-esque

Because if not Doom, yk maybe Blood or Ultrakill

[dapper lagoon]

...Megabonk. It just feels like a natural choice for a VS Collab as both game do the same thing and with the same general vibes, with the only exception being an extra dimension between the two

[outer storm]

omg yuss

[umbral sierra]

Bloons TD 6? Idk if anyone suggested it but I think a collab with that would be great, plus ninja kiwi already making a VS-like version.

[vocal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/jajaja-gif-3318940651526061910

[harsh eagle]

I agree, Metal Slug would be cool

[waxen wharf]

Metal Slug would be powerful to have. Like a Contra but taken to eleven

[midnight night]

A Banjo Kazooie collab for this game is something I’ve been thinking about for a little while now. I don’t expect it to happen but I’ll share what I thought up here.

To start off, the stage would work as something similar to Emerald Diorama where it could be a unique variation of Gruntilda’s Lair as the central hub and you’d have warp points that would send you to different worlds from Banjo Kazooie and Tooie. It wouldn’t be all worlds from both games of course but just three per game would be fine. Maybe even throw in Spiral Mountain as an intro area before you get to Grunty’s Lair.

Characters could be Banjo & Kazooie with variations to play as both separately like you could in Banjo Tooie, Mumbo, Gruntilda, Klungo, Bottles, Jamjars, Humba Wumba, playable Jinjos with the colors to swap between, Gruntilda’s sisters, maybe a playable boss or two from Tooie as one of the secret characters, Dragon Kazooie is another secret character that could be there, and there’s a bunch other side characters like Blubber and Boggy that could be playable as well as Banjo’s different forms between the games

I haven’t thought too much about weapons but there’s some easy picks like all the different egg types between Banjo Kazooie and Tooie, Banjo’s backpack, Mumbo’s staff, Klungo’s potions, ect. Also there was one thing I had in mind for Banjo and Kazooie themselves where they would function like other paired characters already in Vampire Survivors where they have their own weapon loadouts for you to build, except with these two they would attack in opposite directions when paired.

I wanted to throw in ideas from Nuts n Bolts snd Grunty’s Revenge too but I don’t remember either of those well enough to know what I’d want to add.

[whole arrow]

yu gi oh and digimon

[raven sable]

Yeah I could definitely see maybe I'm cookie runs will be honest but for now that's a different story and yeah I did play the recent update for the collab

Honestly still waiting for the day when final fantasy show up

[pallid flicker]

Here are some more ideas I thought up:

Mortal Kombat
Resident Evil
Sonic the Hedgehog
Large indie game collab (like Pizza Tower, AntonBlast, Skullgirls, etc)

[waxen wharf]

If Poncle has a chance to get in touch with Inti Creates, Gunvolt could be an interesting collab

And could try reaching Sunsoft too, particularly because they also got a VS-like game (Ikki Unite)

[obsidian topaz]

Collabs I want the most:

• Ufo 50
• Cult of the Lamb
• Slay the Spire
• Date Everything

Also a collab DLC with all the games Poncle published (once there's a couple more out)

[dapper lagoon]

Another collab that I think could work in Vampire Survivors? Sonic the Hedgehog

I could the map either being big like in the Ode to Castlevania map, or segmented like the Emerald Diorama map. Either way, the use of Warp Rings to get to various areas from the series' history would be very cool. Plus, with the giant roster of characters, I feel that each one could be given unique personal abilities and weapons to mess around with ^w^

[viscid needle]

Isn't there a stage that has Sonic vibes in there? I can't remember which one, but it's definitely a good time.

[azure musk]

bat country

[upper condor]

terraria

please

[rapid stag]

Mega Man collab

pls

[waxen wharf]

You know, now's the perfect time for a Metal Slug collab, since this is the series' 30th anniversary

[waxen wharf]

there could be a mechanic where every Metal Slug character has a melee action when enemies enters the range, P.o.W. could be rescued to give a temporary extra Active Weapon that always comes in at max level, the Special Vehicles (Slugs, so to say) could appear to act as an "Armor" that replaces your Main Active Weapon while you are in it, and perhaps the Adventure could be 7 non-looping stages where the objective to clear reaching and beating the boss of each stage.

and maybe the Darkasso related to it could be to allow any character to have a (generic) Melee Attack for when any enemy gets too close

[vocal moat]

i also wanna hear

ROCHET LANCHER

[lusty ember]

i think vampire survivors should collab with this cool new game called vampire crawlers

[graceful rock]

I have another collaboration idea epic games vampire survivors and vampire crawlers X fortnite. where epic games put characters maybe most beloved popular vampire survivors and vampire crawlers characters in fortnite and jonesey,cole,crustina,ect and battle bus island dlc.

[harsh eagle]

Vampire²

[vague hound]

they'll be making 15 new games so ig you'd call it Vampire¹⁵

[azure musk]

(Projects, not games)

[vague hound]

Did I stutter?

lol

[dim swift]

Infernax would fit perfectly into the VS style. It has cool weapons to draw from (spells in infernax could be weapons too)

We already have the platformer controlls from the operation guns colab, so porting the Infernax map would be doable.

Alcedor (good and evil), axelord, the wixard, slasher, and even the contra cameo character they made could all me characters. And then you could add the squire and some enemies.

It would be awesome.

[latent basalt]

Would probably never happen, but I just thought how hilarious it would be for VS to get a collab with Ghostbusters, especially because of the whole "ghosts aren't real" bit the bestiary does.

[waxen wharf]

After finishing Raiden NOVA, I propose a collab with it. Perhaps to justify the ability to change the Main Weapon mid-game (which Raiden NOVA features)

[dim swift]

A collab with "The Messenger" would be great too. Similarly to Infernax, its another indie pixelart game with cool characters, enemies and weapons to take inspiration from.

[waxen wharf]

Perhaps with a ||time portal that the player can enter to alter the stage and make some areas accessible while revoking access to other areas||

[dim swift]

That would be awesome.

[wanton herald]

I mentioned it before, but I would definitely love if either Survivors, or better yet, Crawlers, did a collab with Monster Train

[vocal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-slug-continue-gif-22874393

[dim bluff]

If konami is keen Id love to see yugioh make it in. That would be very sweet.

Also Konami should totally do some crossovers to promote their new upcoming game.

[whole arrow]

• palword
• darkest dungeon
• witcher
• warcraft
• shadow of mordor/shadow of war
• dungeons & dragons
• stardew valley

[outer storm]

preemptive apologies for the networking i might have done unpaid

[atomic bone]

Vampire Crawlers

[wanton herald]

I don't think Vampire Crawlers would translate well to Vampire Survivors... But maybe Vampire Survivors could work in Vampire Crawlers

[viscid needle]

https://giphy.com/gifs/laughing-eddie-murphy-coming-to-america-XH6MU5zmqIpAA

[midnight night]

Palworld is one I’ve thought about too, would be cool to have. Especially if they do it like the Terraria collab in the sense that Vampire Survivors gets a couple of playable Pals, and then Palworld gets VS themed gear, weapons and enemy types you can capture.

[dim swift]

Terraria would be insanely cool

Could make 4 characters representing each of the main builds, giving them stat/damage bonuses when using compatible weapons.

And then use iconic 3nemies as secret characters like the cultists, tim the skeleton wizard, and the NPCs.

And it already has plenty of enemies and bosses to pick from

[harsh eagle]

Once again begging for more Cas--sorry, Bloodstained

[lusty ember]

My current crossover wishlist:

• More Castlevania
• Legacy of Kain
• V Rising
• Viva La Dirt League (Epic NPC Man)

... And fuck it, Lord of the Rings

[midnight night]

I’d say the most pie in the sky collab that would get me the most hyped is a Ninja Turtles collab. Not just cause it’s something I’m a huge fan of but also cause, since TMNT has a long history with Konami it would feel nice coexisting with the Castlevania and Contra stuff.

That’d be a fun one to build around co-op/Party Mode too.

[wanton herald]

I know it won't happen, but... Kamen Rider

[plain forge]

Toei would sooner make another Kamen Rider gacha game before letting it collab with anything else

Even their rare crossover appearances are very limited

[harsh eagle]

I'd kill for a Yacht Club collab now that Mina the Hollower's release is finally on the horizon

[snow anchor]

btd6 collab with vs?

anyone?

[languid matrix]

quincy might be just keitha 3.0

[vague hound]

lol

[snow anchor]

got a set of cool rosters? ✅
plenty of enemy types? ✅

[snow anchor]

honestly i would love to see gwendolin rockin her fire gun and use heart of fire arcana to decimate everything 👀

[clear tendon]

console exclusive dlc is pretty gross....but......i lowkey would pay some big bucks for mario, zelda, and metroid dlc, maybe just a general nintendo thing .. super smash survivors type dlc

could be like half the scale of castlevania or something

lowkey makes me wanna come up with like a whole concept spreadsheet + doc for it maybe

could get to that tmr

[limber sinew]

buy Nintendo to make it happen

[weary briar]

this even happened recently

|| I would not get surprised if every person named Mario in the world receive that company notification one day ||

[snow anchor]

||if nintendo accepts collabs then sure, but otherwise dont even bother try any nintendo IPs, ask them first...... idek how to say this||

[snow anchor]

ok i guess they have their own horde survivors kind, its on early access

anyways.

[viscid needle]

We have a better chance of Poe in Smash, which I’m all for.

I could see there being a Nintendo game, à la Warhammer, in the future though. Maybe more specifically Hyrule Survivors.

[visual dawn]

yeah there was cadence of hyrule a while ago (zelda x necrodancer) so it's actually somewhat possible

[plain forge]

That felt like an experiment by Nintendo to see if they can let indie studios work on spinoffs

Judging by the lack of more indie studios working on Nintendo's IPs, I'd say that experiment was a failure

[lean otter]

serious question, considering that Paralives is live for no more than a day it already has 4 collabs, do you think it could be possible to Paralives x Vampire Survivors happen?

[uncut bone]

+1 for terraria collab
Just imagine... building up and evolving to terrablade, the bosses, classic terraria weapons, hardmode, classes, accessories as passives... zenith? expert mode? So much potential

[snow anchor]

felt like something too unlikely
-# off topic but they have their card/board game too

[scenic lichen]

terraria and dead cells both feel like they could happen tbh

[woven sandal]

megaman pls
its perfect for this

[snow anchor]

im just wondering because if the IPs that you want to have, but that IP also has games on that genre...

honestly im just waiting until something good comes for 1.15

[plain forge]

Megaman doesn't have a survivorlike side game, so it should be good

[snow anchor]

just wait for 1.16 then maybe we can speculate more IPs to try

[woven fern]

This was specifically born out of the devs of Necrodancer asking Nintendo if they could have version exclusive content iirc.

Considering poncle seems to not be particularly fond of the idea of making content inaccessible, I sincerely doubt they'd try to procure Nintendo IP, since that would have to remain exclusive to Nintendo platforms

I think a pretty safe bet would be Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight and the upcoming Mina the Hollower, both of which would fit right into VS)

[uncut bone]

slay the spire

[coral harbor]

i think Hylics would work really well as a collab DLC. hear me out on this:

Hylics is extremely well known for its really fuckin surreal and trippy style in both its music and visuals (to the point you could argue its a selling point), and vampire survivors is similarly well known for how cluttered and visually stimulating the screen can get with all the projectiles and flashy attacks and enemies, right? i think hylics would fit that well!

i can fully see the surreal battle animations from Hylics 2 being thrown into vampire survivors and it'd fit as well as any other DLC collab. the new characters are fairly easy to come up with too, just add the main 4 party members (like the 4 folks from the balatro DLC), and a map based on the general areas of Hylics 2. you could maybe even get Chuck Salamone in to make some of the music for it

[coral harbor]

for those that aren't familiar with Hylics: https://youtu.be/-yo8I1-kZ6U

[uncut bone]

+1 for btd6
VS gets btd stuff, while BTD6 could get a hero with the 3 random levelup selection and VS weapons,

[snow anchor]

i initially want to scrap that because they have their own early access version on mobile but knowing what lead to the emerald diorama dlc there could be a chance, but quite unlikely
-# also given that the btd ip is kinda not so hot lately
