^Updated KS Launch Trailer^

Hello, I'm Alan- the primary developer + art director of Little Ghost, a 2D puzzle platformer with metroidvania-style exploration of interconnected levels. The game has a surreal, psychedelic, papercraft aesthetic and there is a 2+Hour free demo available now on Steam and Itchio. While the demo serves as a "Chapter One" release, it has long been my hope to be able to create and share with you the full Little Ghost experience that I've plotted out over the last few years: over 9 hours of gaming with lots of power-ups and 4 playable characters that can join your team. Please support the Kickstarter to make this vision a reality!


In Little Ghost, one of the main collectables are Tarot Cards, many of which grant metroidvania-style Power-Ups.
As part of today's Kickstarter launch to fund the full game, we will be offering the full 78 in-game cards of Little Ghost as a physical Tarot Deck, beautifully printed, featuring illustrations by the incredible Eduardo Alexandrino. This campaign is the culmination of years of work and study, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share it with you!

The Tarot Deck will also come with a booklet, to serve as a guide in your readings, as well as building upon and enhancing your understanding of the Little Ghost game lore.
Some scenes from the game translate almost directly to the cards that represent them.
In addition to getting the full 78-card Tarot Deck, you can get your favorite Little Ghost Tarot Card as a TShirt...
...or a TankTop...
...or as a poster print...
...We even have perks that allow you to get your artwork put into the Little Ghost game!

Please consider supporting the Kickstarter or streaming the game or leaving a review or sharing with friends you think would enjoy it. Really truly appreciate any and all help in this!
There is a new patch for the Little Ghost demo. I've made a ton of small tweaks to the platforming and dialogue and such. Mostly Quality of Life issues and two small bug fixes.


Little Ghost is proud to be premiering at this week's upcoming Next Fest! Yet another great excuse to play and/or stream the game :)

LITTLE GHOST STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS


These achievements add a lot of fun new quests & challenges. Again, this demo is evolving and is a slice of something larger, but it is fully formed and makes a great 2 hour game experience on its own. Now that the platforming has been refined, I want to encourage exploration of the spaces by rewarding you for finding secrets. There are achievements inspired by indiedev champions Indie Game Collective & Indie World Order, one based on the posters done by Pedro Ferreyro, and some based on streamer playthrus.



3 QUESTS MORE STREAMLINED, LESS DIFFICULT

+Made the screaming baby less difficult for the purple key 💜(ufo/bookshelf)

+Made a drastic change to the blue key 👁️(rhino/comicbook) making it not only easier but also re-imagining how it can be most useful in directing players across the map NOTE: You can still use old save files, whatever doors you've unlocked, stay unlocked. Any remaining locked doors on your save file will just be moved.

+Redesigned fireman/bucket quest to remove redundancy and back-tracking
INDIE GAME CAMEOS
We also added some features to the in-game digital checklist for the Indiedev cameos. Each IndieGame now has their name + twitter handle light up when you find them and you'll see which ones you're missing on the checklist.
UPDATED MAP ARTWORK
Added an X/Y Coordinate grid to all Maps & Naps, which should make using the compass much more intuitive.
MP3 ICON CHANGE
The original Mp3 Icon was a hexagon-styled cube that I had designed 2 years ago, but in the time since digital hexagons have become associated with technology I don't want to associate with, so the solution was a sort of cube-within-a-cube redesign that I think keeps the original intent.
SIDE SCROLLER MAGAZINE
Skull Commando Labs does a fantastic digital magazine that showcases Indie games. We added the cover to the issue that features Little Ghost onto the in-game bookshelf at the north-east Edge of the map. Just a fun reference I was excited to add
ADDITIONAL COMIC BOOK ART
This one is a secret, you'll see it if you find it ;)


TWITCH ART DISPLAY
Oh Little Ghost game art now displays on Twitch as its own category! I'm SO happy with how that looks!
KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCEMENT
Lastly, after much thought, I've decided to do a Little Ghost Kickstarter in August. Nothing crazy, just something to help us take the next steps. I hope you'll support us when the time comes
That's it for today, Hope you enjoy the new updates!
