Money / Rewards Rework

Post
    Trello on Trello - Thread - Direct
  • No one should risk their life for $10
  • All money and rewards will be updated to accomodate for the new equipment reworks
  • Finding the ghost type will reward the most money as it takes the longest
  • More dangerous optional objectives will reward more money / XP

Equipment Rework

Post
    Trello on Trello - Thread - Direct
  • All equipment will have new visuals
  • Most of the equipment is being rebalanced
  • Most equipment will be upgradeable, adding new gameplay features and visuals
  • Upgrades will only cost money to unlock, each “level” of equipment will cost the same (this means you can still use level 1 camera if you prefer the challenge or visuals)
  • Some equipment will become consumable (similar to sanity pills), upgrades increase “uses” so you have to buy them less (matches > cheap lighter > Zippo)
  • 1 new equipment item will now be used to find extra physical evidence for extra rewards

Leveling Rework

Post
    Trello on Trello - Thread - Direct
  • Leveling will be completely reworked, with additional XP needed to reach higher levels
  • Once at the level cap, you will have the option to reset your rank in favour of gaining a visual addition to your account (not decided as of yet)
  • Old save file conversion will be removed

A deep dive and opinion post on Phasmophobia

Comment

Hey, thank you for the post. We really appreciate the feedback on what can be improved.

We are definitely going to be hiring a bigger team in the near future, we are at the moment nearing completion on a new office that will allow us to expand the team a considerable amount. We are currently in a small office so it is unfortunately impossible for the time being.

We'll be working on the lighting system as a priority this week, we'll have news to share on this soon.

Regarding the smudge bug, there was a change a few days before the update released that caused this so it was not the fault of the testers. We'll be making changes to how we release and test updates in the future to allow for a smoother release.
