Happy Halloween! For this month only, you can get the Halloween Texture Set by just walking up to the Spraycan at the counter, without having to earn 30 tickets first. In addition to that, it's expanded, with all-new textures for Arcade Machines! Before we get into the update news, a quick disclaimer / roadmap: It's been about two months since our initial Release, and one month since the last U…
Bugfixes: · Story Mode: I've rewritten a large part of a heavy script in the Hub Scene, responsible for Ghost interactions and progression. It is now about 350 lines shorter while still fulfilling the same function, and several frame-based or computationally very intensive Unity functions have been replaced with different ones, which should result in a more consistent frame rate / less drops on…
Bugfixes: · Story Mode: Reworked the Core Struture of the Arcade Game Implementation - saves about 23% or 504MB of RAM on average. Planning on continuing this technique in future patches to optimize memory usage in order to prevent crashes on lower-end or falsely allocated hardware. · Arcade Mode: Back button properly leads back to the Main Menu. · Arcade Mode: Escaping out of an Arcade Game pr…

It is time - three new Arcade Games, making for a total of 7! As you are reading this, we are packing our things, getting going to Cologne and setting up our booth in Hall 10.2.

Bugfixes: · The audio in Drama Llama as of phase 2 stopped working - no more! · The enemy AI in Robot Time was glitching out - no more! · The game crashes for some of you. It does not crash on any of our PCs, but I think I have narrowed down the issue to two possible problems - it is either the 32-bit build, or our audio implementation. Since I can hardly do anything about the audio issue aside…
Bugfixes: · The Ghost could jiggle in place for a significant amount of time - no more! · The scrolling speed of the camera in phase 2 was depending on your FPS no more! · The highscore screen was the same as in Drama Llama - no more! · Several other issues!

Heyo, we are back from the dead! While it might have looked like we've taken a break, we've done the exact opposite of it - all our semester submissions piled up at once. However, not only are they over now, but since many of them were for this very game, we have a lot to share and show, and this is just a small part of that! But before we get into this... We will be exhibiting at Gamescom in C…
Bugfixes: · The Continue Button effectively froze the game, not letting you play - no more! · The Continue Button still had you watch the Disclaimer in many cases - no more!
This update managed to break the weekly streak of content updates, but I hope that what it entails might help explain that decision :D For future changes and additions that seem simple on the surface, like enabling all games to be played in any order, or adding little objects that can be discovered and reveal the Ghost's backstory, the game needed a deeper restructure of central systems and add…

This one's a bit outside of the Roadmap, but the main UI needed a lil' bit of a fresh coating, so here we go! :D Why does it say Part 1? Well, in this one, the current UI is overhauled and adjusted, but in upcoming parts, new UI elements for quests will be added, a bond-meter for your relationship to the Ghost (which goes into the Interactive Dialogue Update), and more. For example, there's exc…
Sound Bugfixes: · Drama Llama plaid 2 overlaying tracks at the same time in phase 2 and 3 - no more! · Jumping Witch never stopped its sound, playing it again on-top if you failed and re-started - no more! Other Bugfixes: · The Jumping Witch UI for Player Hearts did never decrease if you took damage in the first phase - no more! · There was a high chance of triggering the phase after the Drama…
Critical Bugfixes: · The Drama Llama game continued playing in the Background while you were in the 3D Cutscene, killing you in the process and causing all kinds of issues if you decide to go on - no more! · The player mullet in the Air Hockey minigame moved significantly slower and more sluggish when using a Gamepad as your primary input method - no more!
Ever thought that you'd wish there was more to do in the Arcade Hall itself? That is a huge part of what we are working on, and as a first result of that work, the Air Hockey Minigame is finally here! Headlines: · Air Hockey: Infinitely replay in matches against the Ghost AI! Can you beat him? Every goal you score will grant you a ticket for the Ticket Shop, and there is a new Achievement as we…

But do not fret - we did not forget to include other updates and bugfix as well! Headlines: · Themes: Customize your Arcade Hall by unlocking Themes with your hard earned Tickets. Unlock some Spray Cans in the Ticket Shop that t…
We're trying to adapt the current version of the game to any feedback we get at the moment, and we've heard you. This update is trying to cater specifically towards features that players were missing or felt were incorrect, particularly regarding Gamepad Controls, but there are several new features for players on KBM as well. :) Quality of life: · Sensitivity Sliders: The default sensitivity on…
