We just finished presentation of Phantom Focus at Games Academy!

Now to find out if our team gets to present the game to the external jury next week! Wish us luck!

Phantom Focus is a first-person photography game where you hunt for ghosts using nothing but your camera. Explore a spooky mansion, uncover ghosts hidden in antique furniture, and capture them to boost your score!

If you encounter any bugs or want to give us feedback about the game, you will find forms on the game page.
I plan to continue the project next semester and publish the game on Steam.

Presentation day just concluded, and the lecturers where very impressed. We'll need to take another look into the lighting if we should update Phantom Focus, but everyone liked the art and polished state of the game.

Next week there will be an external presentations where the teams will showcase their projects infront of an audience of veterans from the games industry.
In a few days we will be notified if our team makes it.

Wish us luck!

We're all dead exhausted. Time to sleep. HUGE shoutouts to the team, I am already so happy!

Once again, the teams have hidden little easter eggs inside their games for the other semester projects. Can you find them?

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."
