Dev-Blog #16: New properties of the mind for even more intense experiences

Hello dear Ghost Hunter community,

We are happy to present you exciting news about the properties of the ghosts in our latest dev blog. These new features will make the gaming experience even more exciting and challenging.

New properties of the ghost:

Our latest updates significantly expand the behavior of the ghosts and offer you deeper and more realistic interactions with these supernatural beings. Here are the most important new features:

1. Confusing abilities:

The ghosts now have the ability to actively influence the players' environment and deliberately confuse them. These confusing mechanisms can disrupt the players' orientation, limit their vision or misdirect sounds. Such effects will present players with new challenges and require even better teamwork and strategy.

2. Influence on the ghost state:

A new aspect is the direct influence of the ghost on the players' ghost state. The ghost can either specifically choose a player from the group to hunt, or in COOP mode, target the player with the lowest ghost state. This means that teams must now think strategically about how to manage their ghost state in the game to avoid becoming the ghost's main target.

3. Different perception abilities:

Ghosts vary greatly in their perception abilities, which depend on the type of ghost and the environment:

• Sensitive ghosts: Some ghosts can hear or see even the slightest movement, meaning players must be very careful not to be detected.
• Normal ghosts: Other ghosts have average perception, allowing them to notice movements and sounds to the usual extent.
• Weak ghosts: There are also ghosts whose perception is severely limited. These ghosts have very poor hearing or vision and present a different kind of challenge.

The different perception abilities depend on various factors such as the environment, noise levels and the specific type of ghost. This makes for a varied and dynamic gaming experience where every encounter is unique.

Growth opportunities and challenges:

These new features will fundamentally change the way you approach the game. You will have to adapt your tactics and think strategically to accommodate the different ghosts and their new abilities. Interacting with the ghosts will become more complex and require a high level of attention and coordination within the team.

We are excited about these developments and look forward to telling you more about the impact of these new features on gameplay soon. Stay tuned for further updates and detailed insights into the ongoing development of our game.

Best regards,
The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters development team
