There is no version that compiles.
Creator Matt on June 4
I honestly don't mind waiting for the final product on this one, no matter how long it takes. It would be nice to get some project updates occasionally, or maybe post the most recent version of the functional alpha for people to take a look at?
Creator Ryan Frazier on March 9
I'm not going to ask for money as frankly I think I can afford to lose the $5 more than Rick can, but honestly my KS projects are like 1 for 5 at this point.
This whole website is turning into such a waste of money. Either you get some halfassed project or nothing at all.
Creator Ben Crowley on February 25
Of course it's not going to be made.
Creator kristofer giot on February 25
Is it gonna be made?
Creator Lawrence Rice on February 16
So: Is development continuing, or should we start expecting refunds?
Creator Jaime Hood on January 8
Any news?
Creator Rick Dakan on December 17, 2012
I keep hoping that a big technical issue we've been having will be resolved before I update - there's been this damn core bug with compiling the game on windows that's been mystifying everyone, but hopefully we'll have some good news this week. Either way I'll make a full accounting by the end of the week.
Rick
Creator Alex Earp on December 15, 2012
I'd love a quick update just to know what's going on, been silent for some time.
Creator Neil Day on December 9, 2012
Been quiet for a while. I know there has been a lot of people backer support offering to help get the game made. Any more information for the backers? Is the project officially dead?
Creator T Da Silva on October 27, 2012
Just my luck. The game I was looking the most forward to is looking more and more like vaporware...
Creator S.D. - Ask me about Armikrog. on October 19, 2012
I'm encouraged by the recent update. Definitely, taking care of the physical reward fulfillment, and paying the composer are the chief concerns. Coming up with the next plan of action (which surely involves a paid alpha funding program to gather new backers/players) can wait until all promises are delivered on that can be done. I've sent Rick a long message with encouragement and suggestions from my experiences here on Kickstarter with dozens of other video game projects, as well as with awesome indie video game communities, like Desura and IndieDB. Out of this dark cloud, a bright future may be ahead!
Creator Timo Niemelä on October 19, 2012
No matter how long it takes, I'll keep supporting the game and I'm very eager to see the final product. In case you need additional music, I could give it a shot if you'd like me to; I've done music for about nine years now and I've been involved in a number of projects; A couple of flash games, indie short films, and currently a puppet show. I certainly don't consider myself a professional but I like to compose something every month of the year. If you're interested, I could show you some of my work privately and then you're welcome to judge if you'd need me to work for you. You don't have to worry about costs; I consider this a hobby and I'm glad to help out even for free if need be.
Creator Stavros Tsiakalos on October 19, 2012
Hope everything works out, Rick! I'd help, but there is nothing I can help with :)
Creator Ziffy "zifnabbe" • Black WoOS on October 18, 2012
It looks nice what you already have. It's really a 'pitty' that your programmers leave you in this state. It's something I can't understand... But I don't have all information, so I might judhe wrongly at the moment
Creator Stephen Erdman on October 18, 2012
There was a new update at Mob Rules Games today: http://www.mobrulesgames.com/haunts/2012/10/18/the-story-thus-far.html#entry29921847
I like the sound of that.
Creator Michael Hartwell on October 18, 2012
Any answer to the preceding questions would be greatly appreciated.
Creator Jonathan Cliffen on October 17, 2012
Please update the Kickstarter with progress!
Are you still planning on release before Hallowe'en?
Creator Steve Palmer on October 14, 2012
Still no beta, i take it we wont be seeing this for Halloween then?
Creator Thomas James Egan on September 15, 2012
The shirt looks so much cooler in person. Love the design, can't wait to play the game now.
Creator John Falcon on September 12, 2012
There have been some interesting discussions regarding the AI in Haunts....I thought I would share this article that I discovered from another forum.....

Creator Veav on September 11, 2012
Now that things are a little more settled, two games I found that might interest you guys...

Creator Rick Dakan on September 10, 2012
@Christopher Chaney - That, in essence, is what I think we're going to try and do - or something close. So, I'm going to have a big update that I've been working on figuring out all day. It will go up tomorrow. Anyone who still wants a refund after that only needs to message me directly through Kickstarter.
Creator Robert DiChiara on September 10, 2012
Sorry, but no single player, no backing from me. I'll need a refund.
Creator Christopher Chaney on September 10, 2012
Hey guys, let me piggyback on what others have said. My backing was based on a single player game. I'm not pleased about the changes. What about starting with network play and then later releasing the single player campaign? I'd prefer to wait and have the game we were hoping for than have my money back. Thanks for listening.
Creator Rick Dakan on September 10, 2012
Veav makes a compelling point! I need to talk things over with the team and some outsiders, but yeah there's more to be said on all of this.
Stay tuned!
Creator Veav on September 10, 2012
I'm seeing a lot of productive suggestions and options on the update thread. Obviously Rick's word supercedes mine on this but I think there's a strong chance this'll roll back from "it's fucking gone" to "changed into a different form" or "released as a work in progress aspect".
Creator Rick Dakan on September 10, 2012
As I noted in the latest update, the lengthy campaign that we spent a lot of time on just wasn't something good enough to release. Our failure. My failure specifically. I will personally refund your money, if you like.
Creator Fuzzy Puffin on September 10, 2012
@Daniel: Yes, unfortunately.
Creator Daniel Quaroni on September 10, 2012
Wait, so "A lengthy single-player campaign tells the house’s horrifying history and unlocks new denizens and intruders to use in the game." - is that gone now?
Creator magicpink on September 10, 2012
So no more dedicated single player; just some washed out AI? That's my interest in this gone; thanks for saying you'll be making something and then completely changing it. If I wanted another lame ass online multi game I would have gone and got one of the 10,000 already out there.
Creator Timo Niemelä on August 31, 2012
Have you considered adding your game to Steam Greenlight?
Creator Stavros Tsiakalos on August 8, 2012
Thanks for the update Rick! Hope you get the sales and more.
Creator Stavros Tsiakalos on July 21, 2012
*twiddes thumbs 'till Halloween*
Creator Theresa on July 11, 2012
Congratulations on your success and thanks for letting me be a part of this.
Creator Joe Vasquez on July 9, 2012
Wonderful, thanks much!
Creator S.D. - Ask me about Armikrog. on July 9, 2012
Survey complete! I noticed that no mention of platform selection was made. How will that be handled? Will it be similar to the Humble Bundle store, where your unique download key permits you to download (and re-download) whatever platform you choose? Or will the key redeem for a particular platform at the time of download? Thanks!
Creator Stavros Tsiakalos on July 9, 2012
Filled in the questionair. Checked it a gazillion times for typos. Now waiting for Halloween to notice the typo I am bound to have missed :)
Creator Rick Dakan on July 9, 2012
@Joe - Yes, absolutely if you want, no problem!
Creator Joe Vasquez on July 9, 2012
Beta bosses, rather.
Creator Joe Vasquez on July 9, 2012
I scrolled through and didn't see this addressed: May I submit my entire family's names for the best bosses section instead of just one name, if it's still within the 40 character limit? As in "Bob, Alice, and Ted"? Thanks! I'm looking forward to the game.
Creator Veav on July 6, 2012
On behalf of the estate of Edward Gorey: congratulations! (Not really a part of his estate.)
Creator Hulker69 on July 6, 2012
Well done a very successful KS!
Creator Terry McKelvey on July 6, 2012
Can the caricature be someone else, for example my 8 year old son?
Creator S.D. - Ask me about Armikrog. on July 5, 2012
Runner-up vampire also :-)
Creator Stavros Tsiakalos on July 5, 2012
Ah, sign me up for five copies of a beautiful art style. Glad I remembered before going to bed :)
Creator Maxim Bardin on July 5, 2012
Posted on my site : http://linuxgamingnews.org/2012/07/05/haunts-the-manse-macabre-funded-last-chance-to-pledge/
Hope it will help.
Also sent to other websites.
