Dev Update: Game Modes

Hi Ghosts & Ghost Hunters 👋

It’s update time! Get comfortable and be ready to sound off. You could win an alpha key for you or a friend!

The developers are still working on bug fixes, optimization, and a whole bunch of new content for the next update. They’re currently prototyping a BRAND NEW MAP, as well as looking at optimizing the Theatre based on your feedback. We’ll have more on that in the next update…

This week, we have been noodling over some ideas and would love to hear your honest feedback!

WANT MORE GAME MODES?

The team have been toying with the idea of adding additional game modes to the game. 

We currently have the standard 4v4 hunt game mode. That’s what we’ve been focusing on improving and evolving... but there could be more!

There is a lot of potential for different modes. Some of the ideas that have been floating around include a 6v6 hunt mode for that extra chaotic action, and even an infection style mode. Read on to see how we envision them working, then let us know what you think.

👻 6v6 GAME MODE IDEA 👻

During the July alpha, we had a bug that resulted in up to 12 people being in the same match. Playing this actually gave us the impression that a larger scale team mode, such as 6v6, could actually be a pretty fun experience. It is a bit faster paced and does have slightly more chaotic action, but sometimes the best things are born from bugs and glitches. What do you think?

Six hunters working together would be pretty terrifying!

☣️ INFECTION MODE IDEA ☣️

In this mode, there would be 1 Ghost vs 7 Hunters at the start. Hunters that are knocked out become Ghosts, and Ghosts respawn after a short while. Hunters need to survive until evac arrives, and then get to an evac zone randomly spawned in the map to win.

The team are having a good time prototyping these ideas internally, but we wanted to hear from the community before going much further. Hosts would be able to pick which game mode they want to play, including the original 4v4 mode of course.

Click below to give us feedback in our survey and you could win an extra alpha key for the next test!

You can also chime in with your thoughts on Twitter, and get involved on Discord. We would love to discuss these modes with you all and get your help in shaping the direction of the game!

Until next time...
