Please bear with be as today I would like to give you all a candid look at where we’re at in terms of development on Ghost of a Tale.

Ok...?](https://www.ghostofatale.com/ai-ik-ok/) - A few weeks ago while testing the game, I had to face the fact the AI (the artificial intelligence driving the enemies) was simply not good enough.

You can find it here: http://analogaddiction.org/2013/04/10/get-sneaky-solve-puzzles-play-the-lute-interview-with-ghost-of-a-tales-creator/ A big thank you to Vlad for conducting the interview! :)
- [Et Tu, Gamer and Jeremiah Pena... our composer](https://www.ghostofatale.com/et-tu-gamer-and-jeremiah-pena-our-composer/) - There’s a new audio interview on “Et Tu, Gamer?” that’s available for those of you who are not afraid of venturing through my French accent. Here it is: http://ettugamer.com/2013/04/09/ghosts-and-tales/ It touches upon several topics regarding “Ghost of a Tale”, including the music. Which reminds me that I’ll never be able to overstate the work that Jeremiah
- [Why choose an all-or-nothing campaign?](https://www.ghostofatale.com/why-choose-an-all-or-nothing-campaign/) - Lately I’ve been asked about the campaign type for “Ghost of a Tale”. As you know, Indiegogo offers the option to keep whatever money has been pledged, even if the goal is not reached by the final deadline. But as I said on the main page, this is not the case for this campaign. If
- [Simplicity, scale and ambition](https://www.ghostofatale.com/simplicity-scale-and-ambition/) - I just would like to quickly address the topic of simplicity, since I mentioned it on the main page. It is quite common to see game projects flounder because of over-ambition. Sometimes, in the hope of raising as much money as possible, projects try to cater to too many audiences and end up disappointing a
- [One of the undead rats, heavily armored](https://www.ghostofatale.com/one-of-the-undead-rats/) - Here’s a better look at one of the undead rats that was seen on the video. This is one of the more heavily armored ones. They’re not very fast, but they can kill you with one well-adjusted blow (as opposed to what you see in the video). Let’s not forget that compared to your small
- [A frog spearman](https://www.ghostofatale.com/a-frog-spearman/) - So you thought the only “life” form on the Island of Periclave was the undead garrison of the Rat King? Think again… :) The island is located in the middle of the great Lake Vaelias and the frogs have lived there for a very long time, despising the wars of the hairy ones with all
- [One week left, here's a crab :)](https://www.ghostofatale.com/one-week-left/) - The campaign is now nearing its end (a bit more than one week left) and it looks like reaching its goal is going to be very hard indeed. So once again, if you haven’t done so yet, please mention the project to your friends or followers. It’s kind of important… :) And as a reminder,
- [Incredible news!!! IndieGoGo extension of one week :D](https://www.ghostofatale.com/incredible-news-indiegogo-extension-of-one-week-d/) - !!! Incredible news everyone !!! If you take a look at the remaining time for the campaign you will no doubt notice that INDIEGOGO HAS JUST PUSHED BACK THE DEADLINE BY ONE WEEK! That’s right, in order to give it more chances to succeed they did something that they NEVER DO. EVER. So a big heartfelt THANK YOU to John from Indiegogo! And thank you Bijan112 for suggesting the idea
- [Funded... we made it!!!](https://www.ghostofatale.com/funded-we-made-it/) - WE MADE IT!!! That’s incredible! No, really; it is. Why? Because a month ago “Ghost of a Tale” wasn’t on anyone’s radar. No journalist was aware of anything in regard to the project. The campaign was a text-book cold start. So you can all be proud of yourselves, because you’ve made it happen... In fact from my
- [Gamescom trailer is done!](https://www.ghostofatale.com/gamescom-trailer-is-done/) - Hello everyone! With August very soon upon us this might end up being the last update before Gamescom. I’ve just wrapped up work on the reveal trailer yesterday at 3AM. It was back-breaking work, but it’s done and I’m happy with the result. I want to thank Paul for his indispensable help on finishing the
