Vampire Survivors co-op and new game engine upgrade is live

Ngl I wasn't all that interested in this game, but with local coop mode? The idea of just chillin with my wife on the couch watching numbers go up together does have an appeal to it.

So happy they migrated to the new engine. Previously i was getting single digit fps near the 25 minute mark and now it's smooth :)

Woop, remote play together also. So you can play with anyone else on Steam, the game runs on your PC and they connect in.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Thanks to the move to Unity, the performance on Steam Deck is many times better too making it an actually Verified experience.

Just don't expect lots of little updates like before, since it's a much larger game project now.

They said larger features were getting "borderline impossible" to develop with their old game engine.

That's something we've been doing in most events (since TGS 2022): hiding some of the future content for the game in plain sight, but this time it blew up online!

While the actual menu screen might never appear in game, all the new content shown in that version is scheduled to be fully developed and released in future free updates.

So here's a sneak peak of a handful among the dozens of characters and weapons that are getting developed for 2023 and beyond:

I'm a bot and I'm open source!

It blows my mind that this game is as popular as it is.
