Hauntsfield 2.0 is Coming!


Some big news for Hauntsfield fans today - I'll be releasing an overhauled version of Hauntsfield in time for Halloween 2022!

Why?

I created the original Hauntsfield last year (October 2021) as part of a three-week personal game jam. While I'm really proud of the end result, the game was rushed in some places, and there were a few bits I really wanted to revisit. Then in 2022, Chris Maltby released GB Studio 3.0 which gave me a whack of new features to make this game even better, so I just had to re-visit it for 2022!

What's New?

This version has a ton of updates, including:

  • ALL sprites and background graphics have been given an overhaul
  • New farmer sprite for the player character
  • Expanded quest line
  • Hundreds of new lines of dialogue (talk to everyone, often!)
  • Ten new scenes
  • Scenes have been given the Game Boy Color treatment with custom color palettes
  • New NPCs! Meet Ambrose the scarecrow, Vincent the vampire, named Pumpkinite characters and more
  • Improved grotto puzzles and eye nut collection game
  • NEW fishing mini-game
  • Full finale scene added
  • ... and a few more surprises, if I have time! ;)

What's the release date?

I don't have a fixed date of release beyond "definitely before Halloween for spooky fun times". I'm just finishing development and moving into playtesting soon, but I've attached a few WIP screenshots as a sneak peek! 

If you'd like to keep up to date on the release, be sure to follow me to catch the launch announcement!
