Hello everyone,

It's been four months since our last update about Eight Ghosts, and it wouldn't be right to leave everyone in the dark regarding it. 

I've made the difficult decision to discontinue work on this project-- at least for the near future. This is not something I take lightly; my intention with projects is to finish them. But there were simply too many obstacles which would have to be crossed over to make Eight Ghosts the game it deserved to be.

We would have had to start coding from scratch, make major adjustments to gameplay and the plot script, start over again with the art concept to fit the new look we were planning, and  bring on a new programmer, another artist and a new composer *just* to get started... much less to finish it. 

This process would have taken months, maybe even a year for a game which was already months into an attempted reboot. I take responsibility for it falling to the wayside; my real life obligations got complicated with family matters and work issues and I could not commit the energy needed to keep this going. 

I learned some lessons from this project-- namely, that overscaling is real, and not your friend. In the future, I will ensure that projects are manageable for our entire crew.

The team was really fun to work with and had a lot of talent and belief in making this project a reality. I hope we can work together again in the future despite this setback to make more games (preferably finished ones!) which more accurately reflect said talent and belief. 

Thank you for all your prior support, and I hope you all can continue to support us on the future as we look to continue telling cool stories. 

Cordially,

junejijo, on behalf of BakaBaku Circle
