    [​IMG]In a new update for Ghost of a Tale, Seth explains that the Gamescom trailer is done.

    Hello everyone! With August very soon upon us this might end up being the last update before Gamescom. I've just wrapped up work on the reveal trailer yesterday at 3AM. It was back-breaking work, but it's done and I'm happy with the result. I want to thank Paul for his indispensable help on finishing the trailer and obviously Jeremiah for his hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

    The trailer is an important element to get right because for a lot of people (I hope at least) this will be the first time they're introduced to the world of Ghost of a Tale. You guys already know about the game of course, but it's still pretty much unknown to the wide gaming audience.

    It's a difficult act to balance as Ghost of a Tale is definitely not a AAA game. People expecting the scale of Skyrim or the action of Dark Souls are not going to find it. Instead they'll find a small game with elements of exploration, action, stealth, adventure, and I hope the charm and heart which I think so many bombastic AAA games lack nowadays.

    Here's a screenshot for you (it's HD resolution so you can make it bigger). It's not part of the trailer, just some dark, humid location in the demo.

    So now I'll move on to working on the playable demo we'll show on our booth (Hall 10.1 Aisle C No: 51). It's going to be at pre-alpha stage, meaning a lot of elements are not there yet, like the questing and dialog system, inventory, etc... But the mission for Gamescom is not to say "here look at our game, it's almost done!" but rather to simply raise awareness. And despite the fatigue, the bugs and the long hours I have to say I love how the game is shaping up. What is shown at Gamescom is going to be but a fraction of what Ghost of a Tale has to offer...​
