I went dark from solo game dev for 3 years, but I'm back again with more experience and wanted to start over, so I'm re-releasing my old game, remastered! I hope you guys like it and please drop some feedback. Any kinds of support and feedback is appreciated! Since I'm starting over, I would like to know what I can improve upon and all. Thanks!!!

Ghost Hunt Remastered Trailer (4K): 

Hey! 

     Thank you for the feedback! I've been away from solo game dev for a while but I'm trying to make a come-back. I remastered this game and I'm re-releasing it tomorrow, incase you wanna check out the re-master! I haven't done much apart from just improving the graphics by a little bit because I'm actually starting a game studio with a couple of my buddies, we're calling ourselves "Arkatia" games. So yeah- Im reviving the Ghost Hunt name into a full fledged story based cinematic horror which will release on steam next year, but for now, I just wanted to get something out here hence, releasing a remaster of this game- Im open to suggestions and all and all kinds of support is appreciated! Thank you so much!

Hey,

Open the properties of the game, and add "-windowed" to the location at the end, hopefully that works:)

Description:

Yeah, it sure is a nightmare to build lighting. It took over 4 hours for me to build the lighting. 

And, nothing specific, just try to download them again, and put them in the same folder and click "extract here". It should work, or else I'll try to upload a better archive. It's just, with the laptop I have, it's hard to do anything..😅

My laptop's specifications are as follows: 

Intel i5 @2.50ghz 

16gb RAM 

Nvidia 940MX 4gb GPU 

5400RPM HDD 

And I can't really afford anything new, plus, my hard disk is probably damaged too. So, the main problem is my GPU and my hard disk. The processor seems to work just fine, even on scenes which require a LOT of processing power. To make "The Shrine" I modifies my BIOS to use the integrated Intel HD620 and my 940mx together to be able to process the graphics of the scene. It all stressed out my laptop so much that it slowed down more than a 1995 computer. Although a simple restart fixed the slowing down, but now my epic games launcher isn't working. So there's a lot I need to fix before I could implement a full story.

I have a "full" horror story with a 8+ hour gameplay, but my laptop isn't really that good, and Unreal Engine crashed over 17 times while making this game, in a course of 4 days. I planned to wait for a while before implementing the full gameplay because I can't at the moment, even though I wanna. My laptop can barely handle the game at 18fps at Ultra. So, it's just not possible for me to make the full game with the WHOLE gameplay 😔

Thank you so much 😊. Could you please help share the game with more people? It's hard getting a game seen for an indie :(. And I'm glad you liked the game :)

What happens when you go on a Ghost Hunt to an allegedly haunted location which has a sinister past, a dark history, with the curiosity of finding out if Ghosts are real and with the wish to be able to capture real paranormal activity on the camera, to be able to prove if Ghosts are real. But what happens when your adrenaline filled, casual ghost hunt turns out to be your worst nightmare!

The story of ghost hunt revolves around an amateur ghost hunter, who has been on several ghost hunts, but never found a compelling evidence of the paranormal. During one of his casual ghost hunts, he decided to visit an abandoned building in the Ravenhill area of Kentucky. The mistake he makes is that he goes there, ALONE. He begins his ghost hunt thinking as if it would be a normal ghost hunt as well, and nothing paranormal is gonna show up this time either, but what happens inside, changes him. He comes face to face with his darkest fears.

Hey, So, i played your game and honestly, you've done an outstanding work!!! The atmosphere and the ambience made me feel as if i was actually there... Secondly, the graphics are amazing!!! I haven't seen many unity games with graphics this good!! It's like, When the first time i played it, i felt as if this game was made in Unreal Engine 4 (I work with ue4, so i can tell).. Also, the radio, that makes the game a lot more scarier. The radio with the crying sounds almost made me sh*t my pants... There are a few bugs though. Firstly, Slenderman didnt show up at all ( he just showed up once after i collected all 8 pages) (I beat the game in the first try)... When i decided to play the game again, slenderman caught me after i collected 3 pages... Other than that, the second one isn't a bug i'd say, but basically, There's too much mouse sensitivity and motion blur, which made it a little hard to play... That's all... according to me, ill rate the game as follows:
Gameplay: 9.5/10

Graphics: 10/10

Scare Factor: 9/10

Difficulty: *depends (due to slenderman not showing up)* but, its either 6/10 or 9/10 *depending on how he shows up*

Would i recommend my friends to play this game??

Oh yeah, absolutely.. i'd love those horrified looks on their faces... 

You've done a great work... i'd love to play a full version on this game :))

Can i Ask something?? If im not wrong, you're using unreal engine 4 with the "GoodSky" asset pack for the sky right???? The woods are probably custom made i guess... Anyway, You've done a really impressive job... Keep it up...  :) Also, if you dont mind, i'd like to suggest something... Turn down the "GlobalOverlay" in the skysphere and increase the brightness of the moon a little bit. Also, use expotential height fog to increase the foggy effect and create a big trigger around slenderman's actor and use it to summon fog whenever slendy gets near the character... it would make it more realistic.... I'm a ue4 dev myself and if you need any help, i'd be glad to help (ps, ill do it for free.. i love to help other developers :) i made one game on slenderman (WHICH IS LITERALLY THE WORST GAME ON THE PLANET, so dont even download it... youll be wasting your internet) but back then, i was really new to Unreal 4... now, i have some cool experience, you can check out some of my work on instagram @gamerdev3.. And, again, You've done a really impressive job, keep it up.... I havent downloaded this game myself but my brother downloaded it and i played it on his laptop and after playing it, i was like, "from where did you get it", he said, it was on itch.io, so i had to comment..... Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!
