Poncle, the developer of Vampire Survivors, has revealed its new publishing arm. Alongside the announcement, the company has detailed what games it is and isn’t looking to help publish.

Announced at the Game Republic’s Pitching to Investors and Publishers event, the new division will aim to give freedom to developers to make the game they want to create, insisting it won’t work like other publishers.

It also details various themes and types of games that the division isn’t interested in. It says that anything that’s like Vampire Survivors, AI or Web3 related, or free-to-play for mobile won’t be considered and are “insta-nos.”
