Perhaps you'd be willing to divulge the thought process behind prioritizing certain changes like character customization over horror 2.0?

As the original comment said, I'm not here to play dress to impress, I'm here for some spooks and to get some interesting interactions with the ghost. The ghost isn't going to stop mid-hunt and say "nice shoes".

I feel like horror 2.0 would add so much more depth to the game. While we don't know what 2.0 actually means or would change, there are theories and suggestion that can add a lot to Phasmophobia that other games are doing better as of this moment.

Your response, if you do respond, is appreciated

We have a much bigger team now which allows us to work on multiple updates at once, which is what will happen with those updates. The character update will add to horror 2.0 as we are adding a new animation system for increased immersion which is why it needs to release first.

The lack of content kills the game, simple additions take months, even years to be implemented. The small dev team is no excuse as they have the money to expand but it seems they just don't want to... I really loved the game for the 1st month but after some hours in and little to no content it gets repetitive as hell

Hey! We've been growing a lot over the past 12 months and we are now at 25 people (not all devs). You can see the quality increase with Bleasdale but this year we will be able to get a lot more done and to a higher quality.

That’s awesome news to hear. Hopefully I won’t have trouble putting T3 smudge on my belt soon 😂. As far as OpenXR and Steam VR, do I still launch the game through steam. I know there’s three options to launch the game. One consisting of normal PC gameplay, another using SteamVR, and a final third one that didn’t specify how it launched other than the fact that it was VR. I haven’t used the third option yet.

As long as your OpenXR runtime is Oculus, you can use any VR launch option through Steam.

Hey, we're aware of the issues with VR and have a plan to work on them soon.

For the SteamVR issue, we support OpenXR which means you don't need to use SteamVR with a Quest headset. Open the Oculus app and go into settings then set your OpenXR runtime to Oculus. That way you can launch the game without SteamVR.

Great! But there's also the issue with eye adaptation on steam deck (i think it's an AMD gpu thing?) that makes brilliant white flashes in the sky every time you move in any direction when you are outside. Turning off the adaptation kind of fixes it but there are still these crazy white artifacts that dot the trees outside that also change color if you light a fire in the campsites. Makes searching for orbs really tough.

Hey, we have a potential fix for this with the Bleasdale rework update

Comment

Hey! We are planning to add this with the Chronicle update but we can't confirm anything yet.

Hey, this is using the Vosk voice recognition system that is currently on PC which supports most languages, even those not currently available as a text language option on console.

Hey! I'm not sure where you heard that from, but we are actively working on it and are getting closer to having it ready, although I can't give an ETA yet.

Hey guys, we're not working on a chapel, it was just a meme channel for people spying using better discord.

Huh, so they update their Cubemaps? I would have expected just a simple on off

We actually now only have one cubemap and we increase the intensity of it depending on how many lights are on in the room

Some additional details, he says that everything appears fine on his end. His username and level all look fine on his screen.

I was also playing on Xbox.

I don't think it's a problem on my end, I played with myself (heh) by hosting a game with my PC copy and joining from my Xbox and everything was fine.

Hey, what's his gamertag? We're looking into an issue where some gamertags are mistakenly being detected as offensive which would cause this.

Hey, please get them to check their family settings to see if they are blocking voice chat.

Comment

Hey, the error says you are already signed in. Are you sharing your steam account with someone who is playing already?

Hey, yes this is our highest priority feature to get out as soon as we can but I can't give a timeline for that just yet.

Will there be matchmaking?

There is cross play between platforms with a server browser to select which game to join. You can also invite friends into your games through your platforms invite system.

Hey there!

I only played for 110h or so and I don't consider myself anything close to a veteran, but I can answer your question.

The main thing that you will be missing out on without voice chat is talking with your team (can be fixed via Discord or a different software), being able to move while asking questions on the Spirit Box (which is my main issue with text recognition-WHY CANT WE MOVEEE) and being able to ask questions like "Do you like my hair" on the Ouija.

Overall, voice chat is not needed. It sort of makes the game more fun, but that doesn't mean the game is not fun without it.

Happy hunting!

Hey! Voice chat is available on consoles and the ghost can detect when you are speaking.

The only feature not available at launch is voice recognition which means console players will have to use the text voice recognition option for the spirit box, ouija board and monkey paw. This option has pre selected questions that you choose with an easy to use UI interface.
