Hey gang!

I need a bit of help. I have three different logo concepts and I was wondering which one is the best to you guys.

Logo 1:

Logo 2:

Logo 3:

  • Logo 1 (Original)
  • Logo 2 (Ghost)
  • Logo 3 (Candy Corn)

I know which one I like the best but I want to know what others think, plus this seems like a cool way to interact a bit with the community. Also, feel free to share any other ideas you may have for the logo! Thanks!

Your art is amazing @Greggo !

I think logo 2 but adjust the sizes a bit so that Ghost is a bit less big than Gunner, but so that the size difference is still clear.

Option 2 is definitely the best but option 3 isn’t bad either. Option 1 is good in a vacuum but doesn’t fit with the style of the rest of the game. I think you should go with the second one and keep up the good work!

Hey, gang!

Thank you to everyone who voted! It’s clear that option 2 is the best one to you all, which is great because that was the one I liked the best. Thank you @John_Shrekinson for your suggestion, I’ve made sure to incorporate it into the updated logo.

In other news, I have a release date! I plan on releasing the game on October 21st! I wanted to release it a bit sooner but there’s still a bit to do. I hope you look forward to it!

Hey, gang!

@sup3r87 thank you so much! Seeing your work in Galacdrive has really motivated me during this project.

@Pixel_Name1 the tombstones are also sprite stacked. Good eye!

I’m pretty much done the main campaign and am about to start a small side mode. I’m using this mode to test out the leaderboard feature in Flowlab because I really want to try it out. I also just realized I never mentioned how the gameplay has drastically changed from my original idea. In the beginning I said I wanted the game to be a rougelike dungeon crawler and that is definitely not what this is. This still has certain elements from dungeon crawlers but it’s moreso a top down action rpg like The Legend of Zelda. Of course, the game is a lot smaller than those games but you get the point.

Hope this doesn’t ruin the game for anyone.


(P.s. if the logo looks weird to you it will make more sense in action :wink:)

Hey, gang!

Just under a week until Ghost Gunner releases! I’m so excited for you all to see the game! This week will just be me playing through the game over and over so I can find any bug or oversight possible. This is usually the time when I get sick of looking at my games so much but hey it’s all apart of the process :sweat_smile:.

I’ve finished up most of the side mode which is called Gauntlet on the title screen. It’s essentially about lasting as long as you can in a small arena while enemies spawn every so often. Seems like the leaderboard is working well so I’m excited to see how many enemies you guys can handle!

Gotta get back to play testing!


I’m winning : )

Hey, gang!

Tomorrow’s the big day! Ghost Gunner will officially be ready for the world in less than 24 hours! I can’t wait for you guys to play it. Despite the release hurdling towards me, I still have a little bit left to do :sweat_smile:. Most of it is just a few tweaks to make so nothing super huge. I’m really proud of what I’ve been able to do with this game and despite it being a nice break project for me I’ve learned a lot from it.

Here’s to hoping the release goes well!

Hey, gang!

Today’s the big day! Ghost Gunner is officially out! It’s been a super fun month working on this and I hope it’s a fun little way to celebrate the Halloween season! Go take out ghosts, bats, and eyeballs with your candy corn blaster! Have fun trying to beat your score in Gauntlet mode! And be sure to have a happy Halloween!

I plan on continuing to update this game to make it the best it can be so feel free to leave feedback!

Thank you so much @rcreger for all your help with the music and gameplay feedback. You’ve made this game nothing but better!

Enjoy!
