The Ghost: Task of the Ghost Hunters
Progress - Blog #2
The discount campaign starts today and we would like to use this opportunity to inform you of very important news. We are currently working with only two developers on some new features and an update in the closed branch that we can allow our update to the open branch as well as the release branch. We think that the complete new features that we currently have in development internally and the features or update that is currently in the closed branch, we will release in the current week in the public branch as well as in the release branch, so that everyone can look forward to the Update and get access to the new features.
We hope we have announced great news for you now. You can then read what we have actually implemented in the new updates in the changelog.

Progress - Blog #1
we would like to give a small progress update on what we have done lately and what we are currently developing. We have developed a completely new system. We spent most of our time with the h system. With the new system, it is now much more realistic to interact with different objects. We are currently working on the shop system, as we promised you. The shop system is not fully developed yet, but should be implemented in the game soon. If I change anything, we'll let you know.

Dev - Blog #7
after the release was almost 1 week ago, we thought it was time to tell you what exactly we are doing and what we are working on. Currently there isn't much in the game at all. Just a tutorial to review. Starting with the next level we have planned some changes. We just want to let you know that it's just a plan, doesn't mean we can do it by the next update. We're trying our best to do everything that's planned. We are currently building the first level. For the level we started modeling new models. We are generally not done with modeling. There is still a lot to model in the early access phase. In addition to the new level, we started modeling and programming additional modifications for electronic devices. We have also started to remodel and reprogram existing models to adapt the models to the new level. Now we come to a small detail that we have planned but haven't started yet. The mind should become more active for the first time. He should move in the rooms for the first time and do weird interactions.
That's all that's currently on our development schedule. The developer schedule may change before the update. You are also welcome to join us on the Discord server at: https://discord.gg/75ud2QxJYP and join the discussion. Unfortunately we are not that many on the server yet and we would be happy about every single member. When you are on the server, you can chat with us and contribute your own ideas to the development.

The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters is now available
today is the day. The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters game is now officially available on Steam. Now, of course, there is a lot of useful information for you about the release. The game The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters is far from finished after the release. We want to develop the game with your ideas and our ideas into an acceptable game. We currently have a lot of ideas and wishes for The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters, but not only our ideas are important, your ideas are also very important. You also have to play the game and you also have to have fun playing the game. We also know that the game might not please everyone yet, but we want to try to develop the best of the game with you. But for that we need a cooperation with you. If you buy the game there are two advantages for you. 1. You support the development of the game. That means we can use the money to develop the game further and with the 2nd point you have a big advantage. you can save The game will definitely cost more money after completion. Then you have to invest more money in the game. Even if we do discounts, the game might not be as cheap as it was when we started. We will write down some important detailed points below that you may have read from us several times. It is important to us that you know that we have not forgotten the points and are still working on them. We're still a small team at the moment and can't do that much yet. We want to change that in the future.
Our social media
We are always available for you on social media and try to consider every suggestion and feedback. However, it is also important to us that the guidelines on the community are observed. We welcome your feedback as long as you write to us normally. We've had a lot of fun developing The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters so far and we intend to keep it that way.
Events
We would like to tell you a little something. The first event starts today. The release. We have many more events planned but not yet implemented in the game. However, the events are only available for a limited time.
What does the future hold for The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters
In any case, further updates and bug fixes are planned shortly after the release. We try to make sure that we make the updates at an acceptable interval. If you are connected to us on social media, you will always know how far we have come with the development.
COOP
The COOP is and remains one of the most important topics in our development. We want to try to implement a realistic COOP. We can't promise how realistic it is, it depends on many factors. But since the COOP has to work well, we want to keep the COOP in the testing phase for a longer period of time until we are convinced that the COOP works well. We will also regularly invite you to closed tests so that you can test the COOP with us and of course give us feedback. We don't yet know what the joint test will look like.
Our support
The development of the game is our passion and that's why we are usually on the social media for you from Monday to Sunday and always try to react to your messages as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, since only 2 employees are currently developing the game, it is often difficult to react immediately to your messages. That's why we ask you for a little patience if we can't answer immediately. We always try to strike a balance. We are working on the game almost day & night as we are having so much fun developing it. Please also consider that there is a time difference between your country and Germany, from which we work, and therefore our reactions could sometimes take a little longer. We need some sleep, even if we sometimes work late into the night :)
We would really appreciate if you follow us on social media and join a community and write with us about the future of The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters. You can find the links to Release in the main menu of the game. If you have any further questions, requests or suggestions, we can now be reached via social media.
To a good cooperation.

Dev - Blog #6 - Information about the coop
We want to briefly write a small dev blog on the topic of Coop, since for us as developers the primary focus will be on the topic of Coop at a later date. We haven't mentioned anything about Coop for a long time. We will definitely continue to plan and develop the Coop. However, since there are still a few complications in the way of implementing the coop, we would like to find solutions. We are confident that we will find solutions to this and are continuing to test the Coop features internally. Once the coop works we will unlock it as development progresses and look forward to the coop feature the most. Since the coop feature will be the most important feature for us, and hopefully for you too, we don't want to leave the coop feature too long in the test phase, but also long enough for it to work well for most customers. For this very reason, it is also important to us that our development tools and development programs are always up to date so that you can use the best tools for the Coop experience. At the moment we have always been able to update all programs as soon as an update is available. We hope that it will still be possible later. You are welcome to exchange information with us in the community after the release of the Early Access version. We would appreciate it.

Planned alpha branches
Today we come with the latest news that you have often asked us. You have often asked us how it looks like you can test our game The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters and if so, how. We have planned to open different branches after release. The following branches are planned:
- Alpha Tester (closed)
- Alpha Tester (open)
Alpha Test (closed)
In the Alpha Test (Closed) branch are all testers who have received approval from us to participate in this branch. The latest versions are always uploaded to the branch. Here you have the opportunity to always get the earliest updates and new features.
Alpha test (open)
The Branch Alpha Test (Open) allows everyone who has bought the game The Ghost - Task of the Ghost Hunters to test the features before the official release of new updates and new features.
The difference between the 2 banches
The big difference is that in Branch Alpha Test (closed) the latest updates and features are uploaded first. Once we are satisfied with the update and features in the Alpha Test (closed), we will release the same update and features in the branch Alpha Test (open) and the people in the [ b]Alpha Test (open) can test the new update and features. After we are satisfied with the update and features in Branch Alpha Test (open) we will release the update and features to everyone and the update and features will be available to everyone.
What we wish for
We hope that you keep sending us feedback. You can send us feedback via all social media in which we are active. These would be for example: Steam Community and Discord. You will find the link to Discord in the game after the release.
It doesn't matter which branch you want to be in. Even if you are not in a branch. We always want feedback about bugs or requests for new features. We want to develop the game together with you and develop a good product. We will also communicate with you which features we can implement and which features we cannot implement or will implement at a later date. Because we are currently still a very small team and have little capacity for further development.
If there are any general changes, we will let you know here first.
