Hi McMouse! First of all, sincere apologies for not replying for so long. You might have noticed that we had a lot of problems on the forum with spam. Hopefully these are addressed now and we've just found your wonderful post buried beneath all the spam. We're honoured that you would make such a fan...

Hi captaincofresi

Thanks so much for your message. Unfortunately we're not going to be able to add this feature to Ghost of a Tale at this stage,
but we think it's a great idea, and we'll absolutely implement it for any future games. Thanks again and all the best

FN

Hi Korin,

Thanks for your feedback, I'll pass it on to Seith!

Best regards,

FN

Hi! Thanks so much for your message, I've passed it on to Seith. A Linux version is definitely something we're considering,
once the console and VR versions are released. Stay tuned!

FN

You got it!!!

Hi everyone,

You might have already seen this news, but the console release of Ghost of a Tale is set for 12th March 2019!
Thanks for your patience. We're almost there!

FN

Hi!

Thanks so much for your wonderful words! I've passed them on to Seith (who is hard at work on the console release).
I'm sure your message will be very much appreciated, but I'll leave it to Seith himself to answer your question, when he gets a moment.

Thanks again,

FN

Hey everybody,

Thanks for your messages, and for your patience with the console release!
We're waiting for a final go-ahead to release on the two consoles. As soon as we have that release date we'll make an announcement,
but it's very soon!

Thanks again,

FN

Thanks, Erawiel!

Great idea! I'll pass it on to Seith.

All the best,

FN

Hi!

Absolutely, I'll be happy to credit you and link to your Facebook/Instagram.
We're on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @GhostOfATale
Hey! It's 2019!!!

Happy New Year!

FN

Wow, I don't think even we have any of those cards left, we gave them all away!!
It's great to see them again.

All the best,

FN

This is great!! Thanks so much.
Is it okay if I share it on Twitter?

Thanks again,

FN

Wow, it looks great! Would love to check it out!
Thanks for letting us know!

FN

Thanks Boolean, this is great!

I asked the same question over on our Twitter feed and also on Facebook, and got a lot of good responses. Thanks too for the reference links, I'll pass those on to Seith.

All the best,

FN

Hi!

Say there was official #GhostOfATale merchandise--what would you like to see? Figurines? Pins? Lutes? Give us your suggestions below. Cheers!

FN

@ULNSticky This looks so fantastic! I love what you've done to smooth and refine the design. Could we post some of the photos on Twitter and Facebook?

We are planning for more papercraft patterns (at the same scale as Tilo) so look out for that soon...

Thanks so much Fonzman, hopefully we'll be able to continue the story. Thanks too for supporting us all this time, we wouldn't have made it without you all.

FN

@NoPantsBaby
Thank you! It makes the five years worthwhile

FN

Hi Boolean,

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments and feedback. We'll definitely take them into consideration in the future (hoping we get to make another!)

Thanks for your support,

FN

Thanks so much, Dymhsa!

We're really happy to know that you enjoyed the game, it means a lot. We'd love to continue Tilo's story, it will depend on how well the first game sells. Thanks for supporting us.

All the best,

FN

Good to know, Fonzman,

Thank you!

FN

Hi Yorusen, Thanks for your great and thoughtful suggestions; they are all definitely things to consider for future games. In the early 2013 trailer for GoaT you'll see that Tilo did have some combat abilities. However we made the decision to remove them, to reinforce the fact that Tilo is a minstre...

Hi fro, thanks for your message.

This is a good idea, we're looking into the possibility of making this change.

Thanks again,

FN

Hi Ebi,

You should be able to smash the jars directly in front of them to make them slip. Bear in mind that if the Rats are wearing greaves/boots then they are immune to the jars, so you'd be better off throwing bottles at them.

Hope this helps!

FN

Good to know, Ebi, thanks!

Hi!

Great suggestions, thank you! Are you thinking that the DLC missions might be two-player, or that Tilo would be AI-controlled?

Thanks again,

FN

Hi Todo,

Hopefully the latest development update answers your question about translations. We're aiming to have then ready for the final release in March. We don't yet have any plans for merchandising - is there anything you'd like to see?

Thanks for your message!

FN

Hi PyroBunny, sorry to hear you're having an issue with the quest. Can you explain a bit more about what happened? What was the sequence of events that led to the problem? What happens when you try to talk to Fatale? Any information you can give me will help solve the problem.

Thanks!

FN

Hi Dreamwalker, Thanks so much for your message, and suggestion. Did you know it's possible for Tilo to sleep on a bed until a certain time? It works in a similar way to what you're suggesting, although at the moment the ability to sleep doesn't become activated until you meet Silas for the first ti...

Hey AussieAl, Thank you!

Thank you Bobazoid!

Wait 'til you see the sunsets with the new volumetric lighting! Coming soon(ish)

FN

Hello Eride, Thanks so much for your message, and I'm sorry to hear about Draven, he sounds wonderful. I'm glad Tilo could remind you of Draven in a good way. We're close to completing the game now, so we can't add any more characters, but I love your idea of a band of lost pets, it would be a great...

Wow, great work! So much detail! Could we repost this on the GoaT Facebook page?

Hey Bobazoid,

Great idea, I'll discuss it with Seith, and see if it's possible.

Thanks,

FN

Hi Tarusam, You're right, the greaves have been moved since the earlier videos were made. The Armory didn't exist in the earlier build of the game. The armory key is on the belt of the Rat Guard patrolling the stairs, which can be reached by crossing the second bridge in the forest (near the Far Tow...

Awesome! Thanks Icarusael, hope you enjoy it!

Hi Icarusael, Thank you so much for your comments. We currently don't have any plans for a physical release of the game, though if the game does well as a digital release there's always a chance that there might be a disc version in the distant future. Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer...

Hi! Thanks for reporting these issues. Are you playing on PC or Xbox One? I'll pass the details onto Seith.

Best regards,

FN

Hi!

The next update will introduce new quests and mechanics for this area. Coming soon!
Thank you!

FN

Great!

Thanks everyone!

Thanks, Cryptical!

Hi Optamyze,

This is a really fun idea! I'm not sure we have time to use it in this game, but if we get the chance to make another adventure for Tilo this might be a great mechanic.

Thanks!

FN

Fantastic! Another great piece, Boolean!

FN

We'll make sure the final game has a Portuguese translation!

Thanks!

Hi Kwibus,

Thanks for your feedback, we'll look into it!

Best regards,

FN

Hi Prince,

Thank you! Seith is definitely going to address the missing animation, it's on his (long) list of things to do.

I like your idea of mixing up the gameplay by putting some hiding places out of bounds. I'm going to pass that on to Seith.

Thanks again,

FN

Hi everybody,

These are great ideas! I'm passing them onto Seith right now!

FN

Yeah, I ultimately completed all the preview contents and enjoyed doing it, but there have been some occasions where I forgot how to reach a specific area or where was the door for a key I found, so had to go around looking back for already visited places. After all the blacksmith* already does a v...

I think it's perfect the way it is. Thanks for your feedback, Prince, we'll keep it in mind. We might be able to do some interesting things to just add some information to the map once you've visited a place (perhaps the place name, for example), so there's a sense that Tilo has learned something f...

Hi Prince,

Thank you, these are all great questions.
I can tell you that there is a way into the distillery in the preview, and that the handle outside of Gusto and Fatale's cell does indeed serve a purpose....

Do you have any theories about the other mysteries?

Thanks again,

FN

I have same feeling, yesterday I played for a couple of hours and my eyes were "hurting" a little bit. But as a developing stage and since the visual will change with the 4.36 (I believe the number is right) will change. I prefer to wait and see the difference. Thanks Blinx, We hope you'l...

Not sure if this is a bug so much a tv compatibility problem but my nights in this game are really dark. I mean solid black screens most of the time. I'd imagine being a mouse I'd be able to see better than what I'm seeing, , maybe I'm wrong. Either way give it a try on a Samsung tv and see if your...

Sounds like a fire hazard

Thanks Neural,

That's really helpful, I'll discuss it with Seith. Best regards,

FN

Hi hithwen,

Yes, that still holds true. The PS4 version is coming, but it will be some time after the PC/Xbox One versions. We'll let you know when we have more specific information to tell.

Thanks!

FN

Hi Neural,

Thanks, these are really interesting ideas. I can't promise that we'll be able to implement them all, but I will discuss them with Seith, as I'm sure there's something there. If you had to rank these ideas, what order would you put them in?

Thanks again,

FN

Hello Optamyze, Thanks so much for your message. We are planning to turn the lute into a special tool that Tilo can pull out and use. We're currently planning to use it for something a little different to what you suggest, but I will pass on your suggestion to Seith, as I think it's an interesting o...

Hi! Thanks so much for your message, and your support.. Yes, we'll be introducing new costume sets in future builds. Different costumes will indeed serve different roles - some will make it so that the rats won't attack Tilo straight away, but will challenge him to identify himself, and give Tilo a ...

The one thing I was really getting frustrated with is a quest tracker of some sort... I've just gotten to the sewers, and I'm absolutely stuck, with no clue of where to go. Perhaps quest items could shimmer, or there could be a marker guiding you on the mini map? Please, please implement something ...

When Tilo is about to go down a ladder, he appears magically on the ladder, He does not go down the first rungs of the ladder, I mean It would look better if Tilo came down the ladders like a normal minstrel. Hi jets100, thank you so much! Yes, you're right, Tilo should use the ladder properly! It'...

Thanks for your suggestion, and kind offer, madrabbit! As you say it will be a challenge to get the game running on Android/IOS. It would probably have to be a very different game, with a different art style and controls. It's not something we're considering for the foreseeable future, but who knows...

Thank you, joeroot!

Agreed, we'll make sure the location makes sense. Thanks!

FN

Cool, glad you found it! As the keep and world get expanded and detailed the location of objects will hopefully seem less random

Thanks,

FN

Hi Aetherius, First of all, thanks for your kind words and support! To your suggestions: - There will be a much greater variety to the quests in the final game, including puzzles (that hopefully will feel contextual to the world). - The player house is not something that lends itself to the scenario...

Hi Eprieur, We would say that the early access release represents around a quarter to a third of the final game, in terms of quests and locations. The game mechanics themselves (what Tilo can do, interactions etc.) are much closer to being complete in early access. So, it should give you a good idea...

Hi Caspian,

I passed on your comment to Seith, and he asked if you had tried turning off the 'camera automatic correction' option in the 'controls' menu. If you haven't, please try that, and let us know if that makes things any better.

Thanks!

FN

Hi! I asked Seith, and he said a release of the soundtrack is a strong possibility, but of course it depends on what Jeremiah wants to do!

I'll keep you informed if I hear anything more.

FN

Hi Count Aizen, Happy New Year!

Thanks for your message, I've passed it on to Seith. Let's see what happens!
Best wishes, FN

Hi Boolean,

Happy New Year!
Thank you, this is really great! Did you see that Seith retweeted it?

FN

Hi Mextrom, thanks for your detailed report, and good job finding the workaround! I've passed it on to Seith, and I'm sure he'll be on the case as soon as possible

Thanks again,

FN

Hi DarnHyena,

Thanks for the post! I've passed these on to Seith, and he's dealing with them as we speak.
Look out for the fixes in the very near future.

FN

Hi yellost, That's an interesting question. I'm not sure exactly what would be involved, but I'll discuss it with Seith the next time we talk. Currently the saves can be found by searching for the directory 'my games'. They're pretty easy to locate and copy (we send save files to each other a lot du...

Hi! Thanks for your message! You'll see in the next release (coming soon) that we've added a meter that indicates when Tilo is getting poisoned. His health isn't affected until the poison meter becomes full. We'll post here and on Steam when the new update is available. If you get a chance check it ...

Hello Bruce!! Thank you so much for your comments, and suggestions. In the final game the mechanic of using the candle to burn things in the world will be introduced by an NPC, but I agree that it would be good to introduce the mechanic in a more organic way earlier in the game. I'll give it some th...

Thanks for your ideas! Right now every item in the game is persistent, nothing is 'spawned', but I think we're definitely going to have to look at respawning some food supplies as the game progresses.

I'll pass these ideas onto Seith.

FN

Thanks, will do!

FN

Hi Quint,

There is something planned to help deal with the leeches, but I also like your ideas, and will pass them on to Seith.

Thanks!

FN

Wow, Boolean,

That's fantastic! I first saw the artwork when Seith retweeted it, but it's great to see it at high resolution, and to see the research you did. Do you mind if we repost it on our Facebook page, with a credit?

Thank you!

FN

Hi Boolean,

Thanks for your suggestion. Seith is already incorporating a number of features for taking screenshots, and may expand on those in the future. I'll keep a record of your suggestion, and discuss it with him when we next speak.

Thanks again,

FN

Hi Fennec, Sorry for the lack of updates! Even though we've been a bit quiet, Cosmogonies and I are still trawling the forums and replying to questions, suggestions and bug reports. Meanwhile Seith's been working like crazy, implementing new features, artwork and updating existing game mechanics bas...

Hi GailOlm, Thanks for your message, I'm sorry you've had this issue. I'll run through the spec with Seith tomorrow and double-check, but I believe that this error is due to the graphics card being an older one, and unable to render shaders that use tessellation (I have the same problem when I try t...

Ah, nice idea! Thank you, I'll suggest it to Seith.
Glad you're enjoying the game. There should be new build coming soon-ish!

Hi Ebi,

Let me check it out, and see if I can reproduce it.

FN

*SPOILER ALERT* The real Nina was the cyborg

Hi BrownBeard,

Thanks for your post. We've had quite a few requests for this feature, and hope to implement it in a future build. We'll post an update when the feature is ready for release.

Dear EZ1cks, Thanks for your rhyme, and for taking the time, To offer your skills, (they are quite sublime).

Ah, got it!! Thanks for clarifying, and please forgive my poor reading comprehension :) As I mentioned previously, Seith is working on a whole set of changes to try and address this issue. I'm not sure when we'll see them, but it'll definitely be in the early access build at some point. Thanks again...

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion, this is a nice idea as a hiding place. I'll discuss it with Seith. Can you give me more details about the issue with the candle hat and the rat guards? What is it about the hat that makes it easier to bypass the guards? (perhaps I'm misunderstanding). Seith's working o...

Hi seapunksundog, Thanks for your feedback! Your suggestions are all great, definitely worth investigation, and consistent with the spirit of the game. A few have come up previously in suggestions from other players, and some fit with what we'd already planned, but there's a lot of good, new things ...

Thank you McMouse!

We're still some way away from being ready to work on translation/localization, but I'll pass your kind offer on to Seith.

Thanks again,

Hi Scrooge,

Thank you for your excellent suggestion! Sadly we wouldn't be able to use the Redwall characters, as there's actually a Redwall game in development!! You can find out more information about it here:

Hi!

I watched a lot of the stream (though I don't speak German!), so it's good to know that most viewers seemed to enjoy it. Thanks again for letting us know about the stream!

FN

Wow, that's great! Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to check it out now.

FN

Hi yellost,

Thanks for your suggestion, and I promise we'd never ignore you

That's a really interesting idea, let me talk with Seith, and see what he thinks.
Hope you enjoy the game (once it runs for you

)

FN

Cool, thanks! While I have a moment I thought I'd respond to your other suggestions and questions: Salt Miner's cap poison affected by Tilo's mask - Done! Candle hat affecting enemies - Good idea! I'll discuss it with Seith, there might be something in that. Skappbeetle egg clue - Rolo will give you...

Hi JohnGreenArt,

Yes it does work with those other items. It basically takes into account Tilo's poison resistance. Sorry for the confusion!

FN

Hi JohnGreenArt,

Just to let you know that in the next build of GoaT Tilo will be able to counteract the effects of the candle hat by wearing the thief mask! Thanks for the suggestion.

FN

Hi JohnGreenArt, Thanks for your great suggestions, they're very well-considered, and helpful. With a lot of them you've hit the nail on the head! I won't go through them all, but expect to see a good number of these features and ideas implemented in future builds, and the final game. More informati...

Fantastic! Thanks for buying the game, we hope it was worth $300

Actually, I used Ghost of a Tale as an excuse to upgrade my PC too! Hope you're enjoying the game.

FN

Hey BellaBug,

Try using the 'mouse parented camera' mode, that should give you control closer to what you're looking for. It's in the options menu:

Options>controls>camera>mouse parented camera

Thanks,

FN

Hi King_Yoshi,

Seith has done a lot of work to improve the mouse/keyboard controls and camera in the past weeks, have you had a chance to try them out? Let us know what you think.

Thanks!

FN

Hey Boolean.

Sorry, you're quite right, and I was mistaken. The lantern is a unique object, and so can't be put down. We're discussing other possible solutions to this issue, as switching back and forth between the stick and lantern is not an ideal situation.

Thanks!

FN

Hi MadLord,

Great suggestions! The slingshot idea has come up over on the Steam forum (maybe it was from you!) but the blow dart idea is a new one, and might fit quite nicely with Tilo's developing character. We'll give them both some serious thought.

FN

Hi!

Good news! Seith is going to look at implementing all of these options! Some might take longer than others, so I'm not sure yet when we'll see it in a build. I'll let you know!

FN

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. You can put the lantern down to illuminate the area, but perhaps we could make this an upgrade feature, like the candle hat. I'll suggest it to Seith.

FN

Hi! Reposting this here, just in case you missed the reply on Steam: Thank you! Don't worry, I understood what you meant - I only quoted the phrase as a shorthand. There are definitely mechanics in the game right now that don't get fully utilized (using the candles to set things alight, for example)...

Hi! I'm glad it's working properly for you!

FN

Hi NadderHed,

Good suggestions! I know there's definitely still work to be done on optimization, but I'll also raise the point of more graphical settings with Seith.

Thanks!

FN

Good suggestions! I'll pass them on to Seith. Thanks!

Hi! Seith and I talked about the issue with switching between costumes and health today, and we think we have a possible solution, but need to discuss it further. As for sleeping, Half of Tilo's missing health is restored each time he takes a nap, so the increase is exponential, and will never reach...

Hi everybody, Thanks for all your suggestions and feedback! Tilo's abilities will always stay consistent to his character, so I don't think he's going to be developing any brutal takedown skills, or magical powers :). At the same time, he might find ways to keep the guards incapacitated for longer, ...

Ah, interesting!!

Wow, Thomas - this is a fantastically creative scenario, and a great character, I love it! I like the detail of the sack of hay that's to rule in His majesty's place. I believe that's how it works when the Queen of England is overseas. :) While I'm not sure there's necessarily room for a character l...

Hi, thanks for your suggestions, I'll put them forward to Seith.

It's interesting, yours is the second request we've received for no voice acting, and a couple of reviewers have mentioned that while usually they prefer VO, in this case it seems to work better without it. Thanks again!

Hey everybody, thanks so much for the suggestions, there are some great ones here. This issue has come up a lot over on the Steam forums too, so it's definitely on our list! I've compiled all the ideas from this thread, and I'll make sure Seith gets to see them. Any more thoughts, don't hesitate to ...

Hi Urbanwolf, thanks so much for taking time to write such a thorough and thoughtful post! I just wanted to let you know that it's been seen, and I'll make sure to raise all the points with Seith.

FN

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the suggestion! We're aware of the issue with losing the health/stamina you've built up when switching costumes, and we're looking at ways to resolve it.

Hi everybody, thanks so much for your thoughtful observations and suggestions. I'm compiling a list of all of your comments to go through with Seith. A few of your suggestions are at early stages of implementation (*cough* crossbow Rats), and all of your feedback is going to be invaluable as we cont...

Thank you for your suggestion, I understand! I will keep a record of it, and discuss it with Seith.

Ah, interesting! We've had a few suggestions of ways that players would like to be able to see the world in more detail. One consideration is that the detail in the game's textures might not hold up to a first-person point of view. But I am compiling all the requests, so we can discuss them with Sei...

Hello Ulysses, thank you for your kind offer! It's too early for us to start thinking in detail about localization, but we'll definitely keep you in mind as we get closer to the release of the final game.

Hello psxpetey, thank you for writing. This is Paul, I’m helping Seith with writing and design on Ghost of a Tale, and I also made the papercraft pattern for Tilo.
