March Update + Kickstarter is live!
Hi everyone!
It’s been 48 hours since our Kickstarter launched! I’m so grateful for your support of it. As a solo first-time developer, it's been a dream of mine to make my own game and I'm finally working full-time to make that dream come true! Thank you all for helping make that happen.
To celebrate our Kickstarter kickoff, here’s a peek at two of the bosses you’ll be dispatching throughout the game + our new trailer!
This is Deathstalker. Not only does he have a melee attack with his hands, you have to watch out for his tail, too!
This is Koba, King of the Simiens. He’ll bowl you over at any given opportunity!
I’ve been working hard at finalizing their movesets to give you the best combat experience, so if you want more updates, make sure to follow us on Twitter! Don’t forget - there are some events going on in the Discord over the next month or two to accompany the Kickstarter. Join the server so you can participate in our Lore Drop Mondays, an Art Contest, and a special giveaway!
Thanks again for all of your support. I can’t wait for you to explore Andromeda with me!
Until next time, questers!

February Update + Kickstarter News!
Hi everyone! I know it’s been a bit, but I have some big news to announce. GEG’s Kickstarter will be launching on March 14, 2023! Every follow for the Kickstarter is extremely appreciated so if you would swing by and get yourself set up for that live notification that would be amazing! Click Here!
The Golden Eyed Ghosts also now has an official Wiki page! This will keep getting updated as time goes on and I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on things to add. https://goldeneyedghosts.wiki.gg/
In game development news, over the last couple months I’ve been experimenting with new enemy types and working on a climbing mechanic that will be unlockable and open up the world in unbelievable ways. I’ve also been busy working on adding a ranged battle mechanic and a new death animation! I wanted to make deaths feel more impactful and this change definitely gives that feeling.

First of all in September, we were at PAX West in Seattle, as well as the PAX Steam event! Lots of people got a sneak peek at the game, and I received some valuable feedback for development. We’re super excited to welcome new community members who saw us there!
As part of the PAX event, we also released the Premier Trailer for The Golden Eyed Ghosts. You can check it out here!
Hope you enjoy it!
Next, we participated in EGX London from September 22-25! This was another exciting event that gave even more people a chance to check us out. We received a lot of great feedback from the community at both events and we’re super excited to show everyone what we’ve been up to!
As for development, I’m still settling into working as a developer full time, and it’s been going great! I’m still processing that I’m getting to live my dream of making my own game, and it’s been really fun.
In other news, we’ve also pre-launched our Kickstarter! This is a huge step in supporting my dream of developing full time. If you’d like, check out the page here:
We also participated in the Indie Live Expo Steam Event earlier this month, which was a great help in getting more eyes on the game!
In these past few months, there has been tons of progress with the game, with lots of enemies, bosses and areas designed and implemented in the game.
In line with community feedback, we’ve created some new battle animations! Check out this comparison.
Here’s a look at the new in-game animations in action.
Take a look at some other characters you can see in the game.
I can’t wait for you all to try it out when it’s ready!
To keep up to date with further updates, you can check us out Twitter and Discord.
As always, see you next time!

Publisher Announcement!
Hello everyone! I am proud to announce that The Golden Eyed Ghosts is now being published by Freedom Games. For those of you who may not know, a game publisher can take care of a lot of the business and marketing side of releasing a game. That includes managing our store pages, marketing and advertising the game, helping showcase the game at both digital and live events, PR, and a lot more. Really it lets me totally focus on working to make the game the best it can be, and provides us with the resources to do so.
This also means that development of The Golden Eyed Ghosts will be fully funded, and I will be working full-time as an indie game developer! This really is a dream come true for me, and I can’t wait to show you all what I have in mind for this game. Please look forward to more updates, as development is really ramping up!
Thank you all for your support so far throughout development. I couldn’t have made it this far without you all. If you want to join our community and hang out with the dev, you can join our Discord! Also feel free to follow the game on Twitter for more regular updates about the game!
