It’s been a long road, and I’m proud to finally announce...
Prop Haunt has arrived in Early Access!
After years of solo development, my first game is available now on Steam. Looking back at how far I’ve come to reaching this point, it’s a bit unbelievable.
The first rendition of ghosts vs. the final version. Truly a long way!
Visual changes are not the only thing that saw updates. With the help of friends and players, I’ve been able to take feedback from all over. This feedback has helped me redefine features, maps, hauntings, and game mechanics from big system changes to small, but important UI changes.
When I say I couldn’t have done it without your help, I mean it from the bottom of my heart! Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback and joined the community. Prop Haunt is what it is today directly because of you.
Now, this does not mean development is finished just yet. There is still a road to 1.0, which I still plan on marching towards with player feedback. Keep an eye out for updates and changes during this time. Prop Haunt still has more to offer!
Until then, here is everything you can expect in Prop Haunt’s Early Access Launch and beyond.
