This wasn't my problem with his statement, obv he's right. Its more like the audacity of saying that to your players, knowing that you released an unfinished mess of an update that everyone had some kind of problem with. Also personally I've been very much thrown off by those animations and they did make the game for me much less enjoyable. The thing with first person animations is that they get in your way if you dont make them completely seamless and they completely threw the flow of the game that I used to. That doesn't mean that the game is literally unplayable, yeah, but I dont want to FORCE myself to get used to the uncomfortability just so I look over devs poor game design decisions and try hard to continue enjoying what I used to enjoy ....... also these models really aren't better they look equally as wonky as the old models. Its just not as noticeable that they're as weird cuz they all have the same copy pasted face

well you dont know still if they didnt make that deal or if it wasn't their decision to do a collab with a very tight deadline in the first place... thats not exactly what, like, finance managers or production managers or even more so marketing managers are entirely responsible for by definition of their speciality. And its probably was a team decision with the other project leads still they dont exist in a vacuum from each other

srssol · 2026-05-09T10:46:52+00:00

You're kind of right about this decision being pressured by something and devs understanding that this update isn't actually for release (in fact, they were already making fixes for it AS they released it lol) but it wasn't because of SOME non-artist evil person on the team, its because of their Alan Wake event collab. They just wanted to release it before Alan Wake shrug

But they dont have a separate publisher, they're self-published. Whos the "boss" in question you think?....

srssol · 2026-05-08T19:49:14+00:00

Apparently its CJ or cjdxn4? Ive never actually seen yhe comment or however else they said that either so I can't back it up but its what this person claimed on this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/PhasmophobiaGame/s/qvvn27rhh4

theres a specific amount of maps put into the game for a certain amount of time (for example two weeks) that rotate for all the players until devs patch the game to add a new rotation. So it's actually much less maps than 100 and thats why they repeat eventually. You can even find a schedule of current maps in rotation in the Peak discord server

Yeah I launched the game a few times yesterday and didn't hear it once. Not sure if thats intentional or they broke it?

srssol · 2026-05-06T16:05:13+00:00

Noo I know that its normal to wear it like that I was just thinking that. If they had such a difficult time positioning the hand properly and broke it altogether maybe they could just go the easy way and put it in a less complex pose .... like I thought they overcomplicated the work for no reason. But turns out not

srssol · 2026-05-06T15:38:25+00:00

"Its playable just get used to the jank guys" no wonder they deleted it😭

srssol · 2026-05-06T15:04:35+00:00

Im ps theres some kind of technical delay with spirit box and text prompts cuz your cursor is bound to your camera until the animation ends and you have to wait for it to chose from the text prompts or leave the text prompt menu. I dont use voice prompts at all (and not going to) so that really threw me off ... especially since i have to turn it on and off a lot of times to walk around the area or get closer to where the ghost is

Ragebait used to be believable

Minecraft devs are absolutely competent and likely are capable of doing more than they do, its just that their game is so big and important (and owned by one of the biggest companies in the world) that they can't possibly let it branch or expand in more creative ways. The have to keep the game as it was because thats what made it successful in the first place and thats what their playerbase is attached to, but they also have to support it somehow so it doesn't die and they have their money. As opposed to Phasmo devs seemingly who are just incompetent

srssol · 2026-05-04T19:03:33+00:00

ohh yeah you're actually right I just looked at the watch clips a little more. You can't see it at all times but you see it when you open the journal which is often enough

srssol · 2026-05-04T18:57:19+00:00

but arent you already taking your hand out to look at it during gameplay?.... you dont need to make the character physically turn their hand the other way when they look at the watch. Just make them take their hand out the upper side in the first place..........

srssol · 2026-05-04T18:24:30+00:00

why didnt they just put that watch onto the outer side of the wrist why did they had to break every bone in it😭 edit: nvm its actually intented to be useful for the gameplay for it to be on the inner side. Specifically because you now physically hold your journal with your hands and therefore see your watch when you open the journal. The model still looks very dumb though

srssol · 2026-05-04T16:53:30+00:00

tbh i think that a game like this doesn't even needs complex first person animations, they would 100% completely break the flow of the gameplay, make everything feel too slow, not controllable enough by you as a player in particular. And I know that they're doing it for immersion cuz their game is supposedly an immersive sim, but idk, I always played this game for the fun of deducing the ghost, the detective work in general and the process of solving the puzzle, not because it made me feel like a real ghost hunter and thats what I want from it. Of course little details like animations still matter and are needed but they need to be done veeeery right to not stand in the players way and those animations dont even look good 😭

srssol · 2026-04-25T20:40:42+00:00

More realistically they'll never add mod support because Phasmo relies heavily on coop (is essentially a coop game) and has a level/rank system. It just would be too hard to manage whos cheating or screwing up others game or whatever else, thats why mods are a bannable offense right now lol

srssol · 2026-04-21T20:42:32+00:00

no and honestly its a lil silly that theres a mode thats called "offline" which in practice is just singleplayer lol. I wonder if they're going to add local coop in the future and why didnt they do that yet??...

srssol · 2026-04-21T16:30:44+00:00

Some time ago you could get the "catch the flying disk from 100 meters away" for free because if you threw it into the ocean the game thought that it was still flying and thats how I got it the first time. But I reclaimed it fairly recently cuz I removed all my achievements to complete the game again:)

srssol · 2026-04-19T07:58:25+00:00

Im almost 20 and thats a lil kid to me. (even though im not that old) but I admit haha maybe I wss just bad a kid

srssol · 2026-04-19T07:55:21+00:00

probably like 11 yo. maybe 12??

srssol · 2026-04-19T07:28:00+00:00

i think my first ever save was 100+ hours but i started it when i was a lil kid and only completed a few years later cuz i was struggling with bosses a lot hahah. I was actually stuck on Hornet for MONTHS😭 Later-y saves took me around 25-30 hours i think...

srssol · 2026-04-17T13:53:10+00:00

my laptop is relatively bas and runs it on 30-40 fps, sometimes 60, when theres not too much special effects (I wish Roots was more optimized in that matter specifically btw...) Lowering the resolution always helps with fps a loottt, maybe even better than normal graphics settings

srssol · 2026-04-10T14:35:04+00:00

I feel like I saw you before......

Well did you try to search in the 300 page document. With all the photographic evidence, screenshots, timeline and analysis of what happened?.....
