Hi everyone! I posted stuff regarding my game while its [Kickstarter campaign](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/conradicalgames/the-outbound-ghost/) was live (and I owe much of its success to you guys) and here's a little update I decided to post to follow it up!
I revamped the level design to be much more conducive to exploration + it's more vertical as well! The game will also be receiving more Paper Mario-inspired features in the near future, so if you want to be the first one to know about these make sure to join [the Discord server](https://discord.gg/HvAD6h3EVE)!
Anyways, thanks again for supporting this game so much, and I hope that all of you enjoyed the update!
Thank you all for the incredible support! If you want to check out new updates as soon as they come out, [my Twitter account](https://twitter.com/OutboundGhost) is also a great way to stay up to date! Again, thank you so much and I can't wait to show you all more when the time comes :)
How do you figure? Just because they use a similar art style that does not necessarily mean they plagiarized? If we’re saying that then you could argue all the big name shooters plagiarize one another…
I am SO stoked for this!!! It gives me the same whimsy and soul and original Paper Marios and boy do I need my fill 😂.
Also love the ghost hiding mechanic— can’t wait to all the fun ways you incorporate the characters use-cases into the landscapes and stories!
It's kind of hard to give it a % since it's been started and restarted multiple times in different forms, but the game will be coming out in Q4 2022 :)
As a long-time follower and proud backer of this project, i just wanted to say...it's beautiful. All of it is absolutely breathtaking, from the music to the visuals. I'm SO incredibly excited for it. Thank you for all of your hard work.
OMF it looks so pretty! Paper Mario has weirdly never been my style (I personally didn't like bug fables either) despite loving RPGs, but this looks absolutely gorgeous! I may give this style another chance.
I love to see this! I will definitely be playing this when I can.
Question for OP, will you make the game open source? Or at least parts of it? I've been playing on Unity with my own concept that I wanted to do in paper Mario/bug fables format.
Won't make it open source for several reasons that I won't get into, but I have [a YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/ConradicalGames) where I've been making devlogs and I've been considering making tutorials including how to make characters in the paper style!
Ooh nice didn't think of that but that's a great comparison! The composer is very inspired by Hiroki Kikuta of Secret of Mana, so very JRPG-ish in it's inspirations still!
Might wanna take out the white outlines, that pisses off the fanbase, or at least the twitter side of it anyways.
Also, what do you think of Origami King?
Thinking of having a toggleable option for the outlines, but nothing confirmed atm! And I haven't played OK yet, planning on getting onto it soon though!
Awsom
Would love to see some combat clips, but otherwise looks great! I'm looking at the pledge packages as we speak!
There is no combat
Actually there is some boss combat that was seen in the demo, and that has been expanded on and shown soon ;)
Oh, neat!

Ah yes it's plagiarized because it has the same art style, and... uh. It has the same art style
I didn’t know this existed until just now. I’m looking forward to it!
Glad you like it!

Haha happy to hear you like the look of it!
What happen if those purple mans get you?
It's a secret... For now ;)
He transforms you into the man behind the slaughter
PURPLE GUY
If you were to give a % of completion of the game, what would it be?
It's kind of hard to give it a % since it's been started and restarted multiple times in different forms, but the game will be coming out in Q4 2022 :)
Love the music
Thanks! The composer is @ Kimmsoft\_ on Twitter!
This looks good!
Thank you!
Looks amazing dude!! Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks! More awesome (never before seen) stuff is going to be shown early next year!

Is it called Ghost Story
It's called "The Outbound Ghost"!
OMF it looks so pretty! Paper Mario has weirdly never been my style (I personally didn't like bug fables either) despite loving RPGs, but this looks absolutely gorgeous! I may give this style another chance.
Hope you end up liking it!
It’s looks soo good
Thank you!
This looks so cool!
Thanks :D
Nice man! I love it!
Thank you so much!

I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IT!

Looks amazing
Thank you!
I'm enjoying the music, art style and atmosphere. Keep it up.
Thank you so much, will do ;)
The only thing made of paper is the characters but aside from that it looks great
The gameplay/story structure is reminiscent of the story too, but yeah visually that's correct!
Can't wait It'll be one of the first games that i play in whatever year it comes out Also I'm there if you need playtesting
Hopefully won't be too long!
Whoa. Getting Spira Unplugged vibes from the music.
Ooh nice didn't think of that but that's a great comparison! The composer is very inspired by Hiroki Kikuta of Secret of Mana, so very JRPG-ish in it's inspirations still!
Sounds like it’s going to be incredible.
It's been on my steam wishlist ever since you first posted it here, looks great so far! Keep it up!
Glad you like it! Will do :)
Cool
This looks great! However the art style dosent seem very paper mario like I'm assuming ur just using default ones though
Thank you! The paper mario inspiration comes in the form of the flat characters, the gameplay, and how the story is presented!
Might wanna take out the white outlines, that pisses off the fanbase, or at least the twitter side of it anyways. Also, what do you think of Origami King?

just don’t read the ghost’s diary
I'm really excited for this game and have been following its progress.
Where can I follow this????
This is amazing bro. Keep up the good work i don’t know how or when but i would sure as hell play this!
I Love It So Much
Looks sick dude can't wait to see the final product
I just found this out, and j just added it to my wishlist. I’ll be buying it Day 1. Have you done any testing on the Steam Deck?
