this is absolutely diabolical

Also, if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them! I have a deep knowledge over the game and its engine now; there is not a whole lot I cannot really do at this point

Additionally for people who aren't streamers, there is a Chaos mode which just randomly turns these effects on as you play. It is a ton of fun!

If that SH4 coop mod ever goes beyond a PoC, being able to pick a different player model that isn’t Eileen would be a very good use of such a tool

Will also add that adapting it for SH2/3 and maybe even SH4 on consoles should be doable. Would be extremely cool to have custom models on console SH, although you’d be much more performance and memory limited than on PC

Aiming for a release sometime in Q1 2026 I think and I want to make the Steam page public and stuff in the latter half of this year. Timelines ABSOLUTELY subject to change since my main focus will remain on my actual day job and this is more of a side project - but I feel excited about it #gamedev

Currently I’m on some leave from work to take some much needed time off, and that includes not working on any personal projects, but I’m super excited to start dedicating my weekends to working on it again. Really hoping that I can make something actually good that people will like🤞🏻

I actually emailed GOG about officially including a fix years ago. They said only Konami would give any sort of green light on including a fix and they were unlikely to. I guess at some point recently Konami decided it was time to finally fix hauntings in the PC version

Alas, I was not involved at all in this nor did they credit me anywhere (they didn’t use my exact fix so that’s fair lol, I would’ve been annoyed had they just copy pasted it verbatim without credit or including the LICENSE). Super super excited to see this finally be official either way!
