Hey there, Ghost Hunters!
This week, let's go over more new features you can expect to see in our upcoming alpha test!
Don’t be afraid to fire your Spectral Cannon if you’re suspicious.
Let’s start with the good stuff: more new features!
We are hoping to release dedicated server files for this alpha. This is a new experimental feature, so it may not work correctly at first. If this features makes it into the alpha, we will also host a number of official dedicated servers on our end as well.
New Ghost ability: Miasma (Check back next week for our detailed breakdown!)
New and improved autobalancer and map shuffling configuration settings.
Two new Hunter skins!
New possessable objects in the new map areas.
New notification when you are the last player alive on your team.
New ghost chargeup bar visuals.
Wall mounted props no longer immediately fall when possessed.
And more…
In addition we have added more fixes for bugs that were reported during previous tests:
Added protections for Ghosts who could get stuck after their possessed item was destroyed
Improved hit detection on Doppelgänger clones, and fixed many soft-locks that could occur if the chokeout was interrupted immediately.
Poltergeist objects no longer break immediately on impact with something other than Hunter. They are now reusable!
Fixed an issue that allowed Hunters to crouch and sprint at the same time.
And more…
Just a quick note about dedicated servers and hosting your own server:
Dedicated servers are a brand-new feature that may not make it into this alpha. However, we are working hard to make sure they are stable enough for productive testing.
You’ll be able to configure the server name and password. Map selection not configurable yet, but will be added further along in development.
Thanks for tuning in!
I know you are waiting for alpha news, we don’t yet have a date locked in stone. The team is trying their best to make it within the next 2 weeks. We’ve had some delays due to that thing everyone is talking about.
There’s a good chance it won’t actually be in the month of March. But if it won’t be March, it will be very early April. Stay tuned for a proper announcement soon.
My apologies for this, and thank you so much everyone for your patience. It will be worth it, I promise!
Next week we will be previewing Miasma, the latest Ghost ability to have been acquired by our ghostly friends.
That’s it for this week, Ghost Hunters!
