What
Hi there ghost hunters!! I am sorry that I have to say this, but I value transparency with you dudes. I want to let you guys know that I will not be working on Untitled Ghost Game ever again. Definitely.
Why?
The networking framework limits the amount of players on multiplayer to 20. To support the current amount of player, it kind of works well enough, although it goes offline when there are too many people. Since it goes offline sometimes with just a average of like 10 players (it peaks above 20), if the game were to grow in players, the servers would constantly be shut down. This means that updating and supporting the game is going to make multiplayer unplayable. The server costs about 8$ a month to support 100 players, which get's expensive (I am a college student) and I am not making any money back to pay for the servers.
On another note...
Some of my developer friends recommended adding a DLC to unlock all of the skins and maps, although I prefer to keep this game completely free. I never intended to make money off of this game, it was practice and a passion project. I also feel as if it would be pretty scummy to update the game just so you have a way to give me money.
What now?
If you loved Untitled Ghost Game and want to support me, I would greatly appreciate if you could check out my newest project "Dubscr's Murder Mystery." I have learned a lot from Untitled Ghost Game about what not to do, so I will not run into the same problems. I am using a networking framework that supports nearly infinite players, so I will most likely support the game for much longer. This game will cost money, although it won't be very expensive at all. If you join the discord, you can join the playtests and get to play it early for free.
