Update #9 – Ghost Theory is funded!
Dear Patrons and Hunters,
A shared dream came true last night. And, yes, we feel sticky with sentimentality right now. You all came together to pledge a total of £50,000, and have done what we need to make this game a successfully-funded reality! Thanks so much to all of you – now we won’t have to stop the production and can keep the wheels turning on this game. You salvaged our project and we won't ever forget it. (Sticky, baby!) Now we will deliver it to you no matter what it takes.
The rally is over
It was one hell of a ride! Yesterday, hundreds of Hunters raised their pledge by £10 or more to help us reach our goal. As a reward, all ralliers have been promoted to project Patrons and will automatically qualify for the rally rewards.
We want to thank you once again for coming up with the idea for the rally, for promoting it, and, of course, for your generous participation. You made a humongous difference! This rally was another stark reminder to us of just how much you, our backers, want this game.
A huge exposure boost ahead
It’s hard to estimate exactly what to expect from the remaining hours of the campaign. Our Thunderclap campaign has just this minute succeeded and is landing us with a new spotlight to look pretty under – with a social reach totaling 160,000 people! On top of that, all Kickstarter subscribers will receive a notice this evening that Ghost Theory’s campaign is in its final 48 hours. So, here's to keeping our eyes on those numbers and hoping for yet more magic to happen!
Real-life vs In-game
To honor this celebratory update, we have decided to publish a new in-game screenshot of one of our selected haunted locations beside the actual real-life photo of that location. We hope this will get your spines refrigerated. So, without further ado, here it is...
What do you think? We wonder if anyone recognizes this place? Let us know in the Comments!
Why we aren’t all smiling in the photo
Some of you commented on the lack of joy in our team photo, attached in our last update. Then, when we finally reached our KS goal last night, you asked for a video or a new photo showing how jubilant we now are. Well, we weren’t in the studio at the moment of funding, as it was 9.30PM here, but we wouldn't want to rob you of a glimpse of genuine glee in the team whose project you just saved.
But before we do, let us point out that our office is located in a building ram-full of lawyers who apparently require absolute quiet for their noble practice. We regularly get told to keep it down, and it's generally wise to fear speakers of legalese, so please don’t expect any crazy-monkey business.
:) See you in the next update, Hunters!

Congratulations Dreadlocks on being funded. This looked in serious doubt just a couple of weeks ago so many thanks to my fellow backers and patrons for rallying to the cause to get Ghost Theory funded. Can't wait to see how development progresses and to playing the game.
