In-game event1 Aug 2024Ghost Elim Searchbar + Fixes + Current Future PlansThis Patch: Ghost Eliminator Search Bar Probably one of the most requested features is finally in the game, you can now search through the interactions in the ghost eliminator, making it much easier to filter down what you're working with. In the future I'll also make it only display interactions that the filtered ghosts can do, which will also make it easier, but this is at least a big step to…
Hold Three Items Due to popular demand, I've gone back to the old system of allowing you to hold up to three different pieces of equipment at once. You can also use all three at the same time, for example you can have the geiger counter and EMF on your belt while walking around with the thermometer to get readings from each piece of equipment at once. New Ghost: Bert Now, I was going to wait ti…
Dynamic Weather Added a fully dynamic weather system, there's currently 6 different weathers you can get, ranging from a clear sky, all the way to a fully raging thunderstorm. These should significantly increase the immersion, as you're creeping around the house, hearing the wind howling outside, or the rain hittin the roof, and they just add that nice extra bit of depth to each of the environm…
Ghost Eliminator Added a ghost eliminator, helping you to narrow down the ghost by ticking off interactions that you've seen. I will be improving this over the next few updates by adding a search function, and only displaying interactions that can happen based on what you've selected, but for now this certainly helps. Steam Achievements I've added Steam achievements for each ghost type, now if…
Hey everyone! Sorry this update has been so long in the making, I promise I haven't lost any motivation for the game, I recently suffered a spinal injury which made it hard to sit down and focus on doing anything for around 3-4 weeks, but now it's getting better I can actually jump back in with all the ideas I've been coming up with! Thank you all for sticking with the game, and continuing to s…
Voice Chat: Holding down "V" while in the lobby, or in-game will now activate voice chat, this is currently global, so everyone can hear you everywhere in the house, I'll be working on improving the sound, and potentially look at making it location-based, meaning people won't be able to hear you if they're on the other side of the house. Basic "Skin Changer": In the lobby you now have the abili…
Krampus Krampus is a horned figure in Central and Eastern folklore, who during the Christmas season, comes and scares children who have misbehaved. Find out more about him here . Have you misbehaved this year? Find out by exploring the houses in Obsideo. · Prayer when any menu is open, and someone presses p (someone else who wasn't you in multiplayer). · J in ghost eliminator closing journal ·…
New Networking Backend Hey everyone, over the past 2 weeks I've been working tirelessly to rebuild the backend for the servers, and from what I can tell, and what we've tested, the results have been outstanding. Everything is now performing exactly how it should've been the whole time, so if you were experiencing any networking issues at all (Friends not being in the right spot, doors not openi…
New Ghost AI As many of you could probably agree, the hunts in Obsideo were pretty bland, you had no fear of being caught, and I think a lot of that was down to how tame all the entities felt to play against, they only patrolled hallways and you were always safe as long as you closed the door of the room you were hiding in, they never ventured into rooms. This has now been completely re-worked,…
Public Lobbies: Obsideo now has public lobbies, so long gone are the days of you needing to message the Discord and ask people to play, just join one of the lobbies hosted by random people. VOIP will be coming soon, so you'll be able to talk to people that you join. The lobbies are categorized as follows: · Public: Anyone can see it in the "Find Games" screen on the Main Menu. · Friends Only: O…
Ghost Eliminator: Long gone are the days of spending hours digging through every single page in the Ghost Wiki trying to remember exactly what you have seen, and trying to find the right ghost. The Ghost Eliminator is heavily inspired by the amazing community-made websites that did exactly the same thing, by helping you narrow down what ghost you were dealing with. All you have to do is tick th…
Bug Fixes: · Fixed a bug where players couldn't turn the TV on or off. · Fixed a bug where players could pick up the bible during an exorcism. · Fixed a bug where Heart rate wasn't clammed (going over 200, or less than 60). · Fixed a bug where hundreds of ghosts would spawn if you failed an exorcism. · Fixed a bug where the ghost wasn't interacting with radios. · Fixed a bug where the exorcisms…
New Exorcism Mechanic You can no longer "cheese" an exorcism by just stacking all the items on the bible and picking a ghost at random. The exorcism will start as soon as the bible is placed and a ghost is selected, so I highly recommend that you place the bible last or it won't wait for you, and you'll be forced to quickly rush through the exorcism. This means that if you've selected the ghost…
Keybinding Menu Finally, what you've all been asking for, I've added an extremely basic keybinding menu, this will be improved upon over the next week to allow players to customize the controls a lot further, and add controller support. This menu can be found under "Settings" and then "Controls" on the Main Menu. Bugs Fixed: · Fixed a bug where players had the ability to pick up candles from th…
New Ghost: The Chimera Some of you may have seen this model yesterday in Nuzzgards stream as the "Mare", that's incorrect and was an issue I caused, but at least it served well as a good sneak peek. The Chimera is a bit of a trickster and loves to mess with the player, and the information they get from the house, he also comes with a few more interactions that reflect this persona. Let me know…
Exorcism / Difficulty Changes In the post yesterday I mentioned that the new exorcisms are very forgiving, and are a 60/40 split between guessing clues and ghost type, they have been changed to an 85/15 split, so you have a dramatically decreased chance of cheesing the exorcism by just guessing the ghost without doing any of the clues. I've also added a "Hard Mode", this is the old exorcism sys…
Exorcism Changes After playing the game more myself, listening to reviewers, and everyone in the comments section, I felt the current exorcism was way too hard and was extremely unforgiving, it felt more tedious than fun, especially if you felt like you did everything correctly, just to get laughed at and eaten. The new exorcism mechanic was actually recommended in the comment section of one of…
Game Delay After taking a step back from the game and the "excitement" that is launching it, and talking with the reviewers and content creators that currently have their hands on the game, I came to the decision that the game isn't ready, and needs more time. I've decided to delay the game by 1 or 2 weeks, but currently, I'm leaning towards 2 weeks as it gives me more time to improve the game,…
