Another small indie game studio!
Setting up amenities means that you give your guest free passes to access them. They won't like what they find there but that's kind of the point. Each pass has a card like effect, chain combo them for maximum affect.

I normally post on Saturdays (or try to). BUT it's Halloween so I have to post something! The Library allows you to select a ghost to haunt it! Feelings of dread while reading by the fire. Happy Halloween to all!

Does anyone else use artbooks as a reference? I found I've been collecting them over the years, mostly gaming and movies, but I use them for drawing more and more. WIP Ghost Chamber for reloading rooms.

It's been a tough October, this should have been the time I reached a demo, but life had other plans. I'm discouraged but I have to remember to be kind to myself. For my fellow #indiedev out there chasing the dream, be kind to yourself too. #gamedev #indiegame #gaming #videogames #screenshotsaturday

The very first thing I made for this game was the player's roommate. "Ratthew the rat that knows how to use the internet". He's an important part of game as he will act as your guide.

A big core feature of the game is working with some needed adjustments. House expansions are how you grow your haunted inn, fill the newly added abandoned rooms with amenities and inn rooms. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #gaming #videogames #halloweengames

Sorry for the long gap in post! I develop in my spare time which means that life can cause some short delays now and then. But I wanted to show one of the new amenities in the game, a haunted library! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #gaming #videogames #halloweengames #spookylibrary

Ice Cream, you scream, you all scream, why are you all screaming? Why is everyone screaming?!

The Eyes Cream (Eye Scream?) Parlor. The first of many Amenities that you can purchase and install in your Haunted House!

This could be one of those features that I regret making. I'm can't think of any item shops that give you a basket and let you consider putting some things back before checkout. I'm sure it has to be in someone's game, do you know of one?

The shop was a good call because it opens the world up and allows me to make some more characters. This is a shopkeeper who is lacking a name. She's a witch who specializes in restorations and antiques. All things are treasures! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #gaming #videogames

What lies in the Swamp Zone? I try to post weekly but last week took my time putting this together. Making assets and trying out more dynamic lighting. Hoping to add some to the house as well! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #gaming #videogames

Making another mistake in redoing something that is technically working. Item purchases were always going to be through online ordering. Knowing I needed a destination for the player to go to, I opted to have a flea-market like shop. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #gaming #videogames #items

I was never happy with the original Vacuum attachment. It was sorta a digdug kinda method of catching and bottling ghost. It just didn't feel snappy or fun, might just be me. So I changed it! Took my weekend, learned a lot.

A stroll in the moonlight. Plenty of room to expand your haunted house. It made me think about progression in the game and had what I hope is a good idea for this that ties into the story.

How do new guest arrive? By train of course! My preferred mode of travel. I realize now that if anyone puts a train in a game, they should let them ride it. So that's on my todo list and making a new place to go and explore.

This is a repost BUT I wanted to give these two sprites some exposure now I remember to use hashtags. I tried to hit a subtle Halloween pallet with the player character.

This game is essentially selling ghost on the internet. A look at inventory interface that includes the ghost caught and the jars with their "Candy Humors". Real people was too grotesque for me so the guest are made of candy instead.

Pretty sure one of my rooms is haunted and that my friends means profit. So lets see about making all the rooms haunted by making more ghost.

I kinda need this room to be vacant sooooooo....

When the animation turns out better than you expected.

It was originally just another shop menu but my love of vending machines (I don't understand it either) inspired me to use a Gashapon machine instead.

I wanted it to look like it was a restored antique and I feel like I achieved that.

Providing a terrible experience with room service is one of many ways to improve the quality of ghost in your haunted house. I designed it if you have extra food you can just toss it on the ground. The problem solves itself.

I know I'm probably posting too much today but I've been sitting on this stuff for over a year so I got a lot of content to post.

Anyway it's not an inn without room service. I think? What makes an inn an inn?

Either way, your kitchen will come stocked with a soup maker to make gross soup.

Still working on this UI. Each room has a theme and a key that matches it. This originally was a computer screen but that really didn't fit the vibe I was trying to achieve. Plus I like keys so now we're here.
June 10, 2025 at 8:35 PM
I guess you'd call my game a management game? Which is fair. You're running an inn/haunted house.

I wanted setting up rooms to be more than just an interface with click and drag. So I came up with these "Room Kits" that are colorful and I'm really happy with out the animation turned out.
