Greeting Ghosts, and Hello Hunters! 👋
We launched into Early Access yesterday! The entire team here would like to express our most heartfelt thank you to all of you who’ve already purchased the game, the Early Backer Pack/Bundle, or soundtrack. We appreciate the support immensely and will continue to improve upon the game as we continue through Early Access!
It’s been an absolute joy to play with you all, chat about the game, and check all of your wonderful MGH creations - whether they were memes, screenshots, YouTube videos, or live streams. We love to see that, and hope to see them coming! 😊
WHERE TO FIND US
There are a couple of things we wanted to point out to make sure that you can access all the information that’s out there. We have a wonderful, active Discord community where you can discuss the game, look for a group to play with, give us valuable feedback, post memes, and screenshots, and promote your stream or channel.
If you come across any pesky bugs while playing, you can report them over at https://midnightghosthunt.featureupvote.com/ As a quick reminder, we want to point out that our board at Feature Upvote is solely for bug reporting. Feedback and suggestions can be discussed over on our Discord.
You can also join us on Twitter or Reddit!
INCOMING UPDATES
We have a long list of languages on their way to MGH:
French
Spanish
Polish
Brazilian Portuguese
Korean
Italian
These will be added to the ones already in-game:
English
German
Russian
Chinese (simplified)
We’ve also gone through your feedback and are keeping a close eye on the matchmaking concerns, as well as Harpoon Bazooka balance.
Matchmaking is something we’re continuing to look at, and it appears related to how many players often find one good lobby and play there for awhile, instead of being thrown back into the matchmaking queue after a few games. So the amount of open slots available tend to be reduced at any given time. We’re looking into ways to reduce the chance of being put into very high ping lobbies as much as we can.
Teams of Hunters stacking the Harpoon Bazooka is also something we’re looking into. There’s a few potential routes we could take here, be sure to let us know your thoughts on our Discord. We’ll try some things internally and keep you all posted.
We’ve also heard about hosts leaving before XP and shards are granted. This will be improved in an upcoming update, with XP/shards being granted immediately on game over instead of when the top players screen appears a bit later.
Eventually, we will set up a way for shards/XP to be granted as you go in a match, though that may take some time to implement and test properly.
We’ve seen the discussion about dedicated servers - this is something the team is working on with high priority. We were hoping to have them in for launch, though we hit some technical hurdles. We’ll continue to work on them and hope to have them ready in a future update. Stay tuned for news on that.
On a lighter note, a little bird told me there are some cool new emotes in the works, too, so remember to keep an eye out! 👀
See you on the hunt!
