For today’s Ghost game dev memory, we thought we’d give a shout-out to the surprisingly popular and ever divisive Sky Crystal. Is there something hidden in the crystal? Or is the crystal a lie? What do you think? 🤔🤔

We’re almost at the end of this little back-track through Ghost’s first year of development. For today, we thought we’d show you our first glance at our current proto-Red Zone - and the very beginnings of our concept art taking shape in our game.

submitted 73 days ago • 0 comments

Our blue zones seem to work best with about 3-5 players. We’ll support other sizes, including solo, but that’s what feels good right now. Question for you all is whether you think we should allow any kind of “comps” or really build around the assumption of a tank and healer or 2?

Another one of our favorite memories from Ghost’s first year in development: Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by a DPS pulling a boss before the rest of the party was ready. 🤚🤚🤚

Here's another look back at early Ghost development! Around early August, we started to work on getting more of a “Wychwood” feel into our Blue Zones - and lifted them up into the Drift, too. This is our first real look at a prototype Wychwood.
