Ghost Models (Horror 2.0 thoughts)

[thrythlind]

The devs have mentioned creating new models for the ghosts for a bit now. At one point CJ mentioned the idea of a telekinetic model that throws more often than other models during hunts and would stack with the poltergeist for a truly intense experience.

So, I thought about some things.

Map/Map-Type Specific Ghost Models

Have some models that would only appear in certain maps such as the following:

• Fisherman ghost at Point Hope.
• Prisoner ghost at the prison.
• cheerleader, teacher, or student athlete ghosts at street houses and school
• doctor, nurse, or orderly ghost at the asylum
• camper ghost at Farmhouses and Campsites
• urban explorer ghost at Asylum, High School, and the new Grafton when it comes out.
• 50s Housewife ghost at street houses and Bleasdale.
• patient ghost at Asylum... separate from Patient 7... keep her available to show up everywhere

Monstrous Model

such as

• demonic ghost
• oni ghost
• ghoul with long claws ghost
• banshee inspired but separate from banshee type, of course
• fish monster/deep one - probably also Point Hope only
• typical yurei look a la Ring and Grudge
• Grim reaper
• eldritch horror

Damaged bodies/zombie ghosts

Most of the ones we currently have are this.

• headless ghost
• split open from shoulder to gut
• split open smile ghost, like that one Japanese folktale
• ripped open rib cage
• floating legless ghost

Model Sets

Have model sets such that one model is used for hunts and has a lower chance to appear in events and the other model (or models) appears only in events.

• A victim ghost that appears warning the players to leave or is seen running through the hall from something. along with a killer ghost that attacks
• A crying figure that appears with a dog beside them. The hunts are just the dog.
• Foreboding black cat followed by a witchy (male and female versions) ghost
• raven ghosts that appear in events. A viking ghost that hunts

Stuff like that.

I like the map specific models idea, other stuff sounds cool for other games than this.
