- Maintenance Complete - 23 August 2026
Hello players!Following an extended period of scheduled maintenance, Collectibles! has been returned to service.Last year we removed the entire game. We stated that the truly major update was ahead. Some of you interpreted this as a joke. Our shareholders interpreted it as a roadmap.Today we are pleased to announce that both interpretations were correct.Restoring the productThe game has been brought back from a state of complete non-existence.The core has been rebuilt from the ground up. Not improved — rebuilt.The visual design has been fully reworked across every screen.Effects, transitions and feedback have been reworked to make collecting feel like an event rather than a database write.Features under revisionPins have been temporarily removed.Tasks have been temporarily removed.We analyzed both systems in depth and reached an uncomfortable conclusion: they worked, but not well enough…

- Major drop system update! - 29 September 2024
Hello, players! Here's a quick overview of what has changed: Fixed an issue with item drops Added progress saving between game sessions Reduced the impact of bot holders and multi-accounting Fixed a bug that allowed dishonest players to receive sticker packs before the 2-hour timer expired Temporarily removed the captcha Developer Comments: Since the early stages of the game, we were dissatisfied that the core mechanic of the project was out of our control, which prevented us from fully addressing many issues due to our dependence on a third party. Additionally, we encountered a major security problem. Due to a vulnerability on Steam's side, there was an exploit that allowed dishonest players to obtain sticker packs unfairly. With the 2.4 update, we are completely overhauling the internal item drop system. Roger Miller (CTO) said: "The development of the new item drop system began at th…
- Enhancing your game experience - 27 September 2024
Hello, players! We’ve slightly deviated from our original plan because we realized we could improve the game right now! In this update, we’re introducing two simple but important tools to make life easier for players and reduce the impact of bot farms. New "Refresh" button on the Main Screen This button allows players to refresh their data without waiting for the automatic update. If you’ve purchased sticker packs but don’t see them in the game, just press this button, and your problem will be solved! Prove you are a human upon logging in! Now, when logging into the game, you’ll be required to enter a captcha. We hope this will significantly reduce the influence of bot farm owners. While we maintain our stance of not being against multi-accounting, we understand that some players might abuse the system and affect experience of others. That’s why we are aiming to reduce the efficiency of…
- Developer Diary #2 - 26 September 2024
Hello, players! Lead game designer at VHC, Sergio Gomez is speaking! We’ve reached the halfway point of Season 2, bringing new changes, new players, and a lot of feedback, for which we are truly grateful! Thank you for helping us improve! The first topic we’ll cover in this diary and the next update is the Seasonal Achievement System. Global changes to achievement system All Seasonal Achievements (Steam) will be removed from the game. One of the most requested features was the ability to complete the game 100%. Seasonal achievements were a major roadblock for this goal. Firstly, they relied on limited resources, meaning each month it became harder to achieve them, eventually becoming almost impossible. Secondly, some achievements were extremely difficult, bordering on unachievable. Moving forward, achievements will be divided into Global (Steam) and Internal categories. Global Achieveme…

- Regarding User Bans - 13 September 2024
Hello, players! We want to inform you that exploiting bugs to gain an unfair advantage over other players is considered a form of cheating, which will lead to your account being banned from the game. Catherine Walker (CEO) comments on the situation: We deeply regret that a security vulnerability in the game has led to such serious consequences and disagreements within our community. We must all remember that if you find someone’s wallet on the street and take money from it, the police won’t care that the victim lost it. You will be the one judged. Before banning players, we extensively consulted with Steam employees to confirm whether our game can be considered multiplayer and whether it was ethical to ban players who exploited bugs to obtain illegal items. To those accusing us of using this loophole to deceive, first, provide evidence to avoid making empty claims. Second, you should ha…

- Developer Diary #1 - 30 August 2024
Hello, players! This is Sergio Gomez, the lead game designer at VHC! Today, I want to talk to you about Collectibles! In this diary, I’ll be sharing the philosophy and significance of this project for our company, as well as discussing the plans we’ve set to enhance the player experience. When Catherine Walker called me with the offer to become the lead game designer at VHC, the first thing I asked about was the company’s philosophy regarding its games. Catherine responded, "Our goal is to create games that people can play for hours on end." This intrigued me because it sounded like a challenge. Is it really possible to make a game that people would play even while sleeping? After a lot of research, trials, and errors, we concluded that it is possible, and that’s how Collectibles was born! Currently, the project's potential is only about 20% realized. Why so little? The answer is simple…
