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!
