Weekly Update - March 27th, 2020

Hey there, Ghost Hunters!

Thank you all for joining us for another haunting edition of our Weekly Update!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been going over new features and bug fixes you can expect to see in our upcoming alpha test.

This week, we are introducing a new Ghost ability: Miasma!

The word Miasma originates from an obsolete medical theory that believed diseases were caused by bad air. A bit supernatural sounding, right?

We think the name is fitting. Watch for yourself:

New Ghost Ability: Miasma

  • Releases a dark cloud of ghostly smoke that can allow Ghosts a chance to escape during a chase, or lend assistance to an ally under attack.

  • Miasma is best paired with small props. Ghosts can attempt to hide inside the smoke cloud — or use their ram ability to hurl themselves through the smoke to land a surprise attack.

So, in essence it is a smoke bomb. But in our internal play tests, we’ve seen some pretty clever uses of the ability beyond just escaping. As a Hunter, it can be a bit scary to know there could be a Ghost charging up just beyond the veil.

Miasma will be in the upcoming alpha test, and we can’t wait to see how it turns out!

You’re probably wondering when the alpha test will be, right?

Well, you MIGHT want to keep an eye on the Discord next week… just a hunch! wink

Thanks for tuning in! Have a very safe and pleasant weekend, hunters!
