Weekly Update - June 14th, 2019

HEY THERE GHOST HUNTERS!

Welcome to the Weekly Update!

Kite here - Lead Developer on Midnight Ghost Hunt! I wanted to take a moment to welcome everyone who joined our growing community this week. Thanks so much for checking it out, and I can’t wait to play the game with you all!

So, this week, let’s give a little recap of the super eventful week we had for anyone who missed it.

MIDNIGHT GHOST HUNT is a ghostly hide-and-seek multiplayer game! SIGN UP FOR ALPHA: http://midnightghosthunt.com Developed by Vaulted Sky Games, Published by Coffee Stain Publishing Play as either Ghosts or Ghost Hunters. The Ghosts hide inside inconspicuous furniture and hurl themselves at invading Hunters.

We premiered our new teaser trailer at the E3 PC Gaming Show on Monday!

It was such a great feeling to finally show everyone what we’ve been working on since the last alpha test.

I even made a guest appearance on the E3 stage, interviewed by the magnificent Day9 himself!

Midnight Ghost Hunt is a 4v4 prop hunt game with a spooky twist: the props, which are possessed by ghosts, can fight back! Read more here: https://www.pcgamer.com/midnight-ghost-hunt-is-a-4v4-prop-hunt-where-the-props-fight-back/

At the same time, we also announced our publishing partnership with Coffee Stain!

Coffee Stain is an awesome indie publishing label that has a specialty in these quirky and viral games - they are a perfect fit for this project and I’m thrilled to be working with them.

Some Coffee Stain folks will likely start arriving in our Discord in the coming weeks, make sure you give them all your love!

We’ve been so lucky to have a lot of positive buzz about the game since our announcement - there’s a bunch of great articles and interviews out on the net, feel free to check them out.

Here’s a great article written by Christopher Livingston over at PC Gamer!

Most recently, we’ve also been nominated for an Unreal E3 Award under the ‘Unreal Underdog’ category!

This category recognizes really small teams that do their best to make a big splash at the big show.
We’re so honored to be considered for the award along with these other lovely games!

Well, that’s it for this week - next week we’ll break down the new trailer! If you played any of the previous alpha tests, you may have noticed a number of new fancy equipment or mechanics.

We’ll dig into it next week, and maybe show some cool concept art!

Stay cool, Ghost Hunters!
