About developer poncle
‘poncle’ is a small game dev studio founded by Luca Galante, based in London. After cutting his teeth (fangs?) on a series of HTML5 projects, Luca developed Vampire Survivors as a pandemic pastime, hoping to improve his skills as a developer. The game was an unexpected smash hit and has gathered a massive cult following. Today poncle is a merry band of programmers, designers, artists and other game-making folks, working in dialogue with their community of players to make Vampire Survivors the best it can be.
