Development Update (Kickstarter / Trailer Release)

The Hauntings

The Hauntings is a 1-4 player online co-op investigation and exorcism game. Using a wide range of paranormal investigation equipment your group must try and successfully discover the source of the haunting and proceed to remove the threat from the area!

First off I would personally like to apologize for anyone on steam waiting the game and what seems like no updates have been coming out. I just recently found out that I can do updates like this and will make my best effort to provide you all here with more updates going forward. Most of the updates for the game have been taking place on twitter and the live streams on twitch. That all being said....the game has been making huge strides lately and as of today will be going into the more polish phase and getting additional content pumped into the game. I have been working tirelessly in my free time to get all of the base systems for the game created but have been slowed down by my day job and a few other hiccups in the game. The game is also getting ready for Microsoft review for a potential day 1 XBOX release which I am sure will bring more development that will need to be done to make sure it meets the standards for console release. With all of that I officially launched the first cinematic teaser trailer for the game which should be live on the steam page now as well as youtube (which has the 4k version). Also I launched a kickstarter this morning to help fund salaries for artists to work on making more custom things for the game. These artists that I am focusing on right now will be (in no particular order): Environment Artist (for custom maps), Animation/Rigger (Ghost models have been made, just need to finish making kill animations and eventually custom animations for each ghost model), VFX Artist (for all the sweet particle effects and to spruce up some of the materials), and finally a Sound Designer... If the kickstarter does well enough I have several stretch goals planned on the page that I will also look to hire more people to work on those specific items if we reach those levels. I just wanna say thank you again to everyone that has wishlisted the game and that has shown support of the development over the last year...it's been a bumpy road this whole time and I personally have had to re-program the game several times during that period. I feel very confident that the project is in a solid spot right now and with the big strides made recently it's going to be a great game that I hope you all really enjoy! And as always, my door is open to any questions or comments you all have!
