It's a special time of year for Ghostship Aftermath, being a horror game and all. To celebrate this scary occasion we've chosen to treat you so that we don't get tricked, and have included some additional free content in the upcoming patch along with various optimizations and bug fixes.
Free Additional Content
- Several new enemies
- New story branch (missed deadline, will be in next patch)
- New weapon
- Instant Action Mode
- Trading cards
- Achievements
The trading cards may not make this one, but if not they're coming very very soon, like right after Halloween. It was a tough deadline and the developer's little boy had to have an emergency appendectomy which hurt the workflow and a lot is being done very last minute. His son is doing well though and that's the important part.
I won't spoil it and let you find out about the enemies, weapon, and story branch for yourselves ingame but I would like to share more about the Instant Action Mode with you. Your opinions are very important to us and we want to give you the game you want to play, so this mode was created for those of you not liking the permadeath and how long it takes for the game to get going. With Instant Action Mode you start in a random place on the ship with lots of weapons and already on one of the storylines. There is also no permadeath. This will be more akin to other games players are used to. However the achievements are only in the normal story mode. There's a reason they're called an "achievement" and not a "gimme", so no permadeath, no glory.
If you don't have the game this is a great time to buy it, and if you do have it buy a few extra copies to drop into those little orange pumpkin buckets for the poor sod waiting out by the road with a torch while his children extort you for candy.
From all of us at MAG Studios, have a safe and happy Halloween!
