Hey Ghosts and Hunters,

We hope you’ve been enjoying the Midnight Ghost Hunt Early Access thus far. We promised we’d be cooking up some exciting new stuff during EA, and now our first major content update of Early Access is ready for you to check out! We have an eerie new map (Doll Factory) for you to check out, new cosmetics, improvements to the melee gear, new hero props, and more.

Starting today, MGH will be on sale all weekend long, 20% off!


The Doll Factory is now open for business. You can haunt or hunt in an abandoned doll factory in the dead of night! In typical MGH fashion, this eerie doll factory is equal measures charming and terrifying!

• Factory is back and better than ever
  
• Full of new props, hiding spots, and creepy dolls
  
• Watch out for the murder dolls...

Added a small buckler shield that can be used to block incoming damage. It is not as effective as the full riot shield, but can be useful when dueling a Ghost before or after Midnight.

• New small buckler shield to block some incoming damage
  
• Can chain lightning damage up to 3 times against Ghosts or moving possessed props

Added the ability to charge up an attack for added damage; the higher you heft your hammer, the stronger your swing will be!

• New charge up attack
  
• Can destroy large props in 1 or 2 hits depending on the charge up

• Murder Doll - Runs around and lunges at hunters with a knife
  
• Warehouse Gate - Acts as a guillotine to smash hunters
  
• Forklift - Yeeting hunters into the air has never been more fun

New Titles

We hope that you’ll enjoy Update 1, and we look forward to getting in some matches with you all on the Doll Factory soon!

For those of you who haven’t joined us yet on Discord or Twitter, be sure to do so! It’s a great way to give us your thoughts and feedback, and connect with other awesome players in the community! Until next time, happy haunting and hunting!

After taking the fight to the robo-capitalists in Rat City, our skating gator has new challenges to tackle across unique 3D locales — from sunset-bathed swamps to moonlit marshes.



The lane-based platforming of the original game returns with familiar powerups influencing your gameplay in new ways, and the 3D platforming areas will have you exploring every nook and cranny for all sorts of collectables.

Hi there! It’s been a while since we last talked, but we have a really exciting MASSIVE update packed with new features for you all… So take your protein pills, put your helmet on and let’s take a look.




We’ve added a bunch of new animations to all the locations in the game, with these new poses you’ll be able to discover new spots in the environment like never before. Against the bed headboard, in the shower or over the ship control panel! Lots of possibilities…




We’re bringing to SpaceSEX a super requested feature by all of you, the Money Shot!
As you have fun with the girls, you will now see an intensity meter for each of the characters. You can increase each character’s pleasure by picking their favorite positions and having a good timing. But the meter can decrease as well so try to not be too boring nor too anxious!

Once the meter is filled pick one of the different Money Shot poses and you’ll reach the grand sticky finale!




We have a new exciting feature for all our PC users, now you can switch up between 2 camera modes, our regular free-movement camera and a new pre-fixed camera angles mode with the hottest shots of the action for a more cinematic-like experience!


And last but not least we have some news regarding the galaxy famous peace-disturbing Aiden’s piece.
He was a bit jealous ever since Lance came around and Nov-A had a taste of his huge green meat pole, so we took him to the Dr. Molly’s Space Clinic in the Sex Moon of Saturn and now he’s really packing something from another galaxy!

Hey Flingers! With the new level out, we thought now would be a good time to crack down on all the current major bugs! A lot of players brought up online desync issues in Worms in Space and other levels which appear to get worse the longer you play. These issues are fixed! There are many other bug fixes, optimizations and improvements so feel free to check them out below.

Quality of Life improvements:

• Improved the tutorial before the main menu to better explain all the different ways you can create a team online and locally.

Optimizations:

• Reduced the size of many textures in Perilous Paradise which were increasing the game’s download size unnecessarily.
  
• Fixed an issue where multiple cameras were rendering on top of each other during level cinematics. This will improve performance on medium and low end machines.
  
• Optimized all Water and Fog shaders which should improve performance on low end machines.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a major issue where the level loaded after Perilous Paradise would become unplayable online due to desync.
  
• Fixed a major issue where Worms in Space would become unplayable online due to desync.
  
• Fixed many levels which would sometimes become unplayable due to online desync (Pharaoh’s Freeway, Pete’s Play Palace, Haunted Highway, Winding Woods, Perilous Paradise).
  
• Fixed a major issue where returning to the team setup screen would break if a player left during the race.
  
• Removed many game breaking shortcuts in the Perilous Paradise level.
  
• Fixed issue where a series of random letters will appear over another player’s head instead of their Steam username.
  
• For new players, settings in the Online Tab will now start at their correct defaults (displaying names over other characters is now the default).
  
• In the Demo, the time left in the demo will be displayed in the main menu again (this was accidently removed during the original 3D Menu update).
  
• Your Username will no longer appear in your own friend’s list.

Skybox is partnering up with eSportian, an organization dedicated to help students from around the world obtain e-sport scholarships in universities around the United States. We believe in helping our users and the CS:GO communities, and therefore we are extremely proud and excited to move forward together with eSportian and hopefully help more young players emerge and receive scholarships in the United States.

Esports branch of www.deaquiparafuera.com +17 years sending students to US high schools and universities. eSportian advise, help and send students to university esports teams in the United States so that they can combine their studies with their passion for gaming. eSportian collaborates with more than 175 universities across the United States, with more than 25 games, their selection of young talent and opportunities makes them unique as well as helping the student and their family step by step throughout the entire process.

Training begins first thing in the morning before going to class, a one-hour session of physical conditioning to strengthen the muscles we use the most when training and competing to avoid injuries. Then there are the morning classes that are usually three to four hours followed in the afternoon by a 2-3 hour or 4-5 hour training depending on the requirement of the university. Competitions in leagues or tournaments can be online or in person. The trips made to compete, accommodation and food expenses are included in the scholarship assigned to the student.

The importance of being able to improve your gameplay, understanding, tactics and general skillset is of great importance if you want to become a competitive player within CS:GO. The Skybox platform, the Battle Room and the Skybox 3D client can help and assist players in many different ways. Now, as a young player (potentially a student) that is dreaming of going pro, a great first step could be to get a scholarship. Combining your passion with getting a degree from a top university is a great opportunity. Moving forward, Skybox and eSportian will work together to help the CS:GO communities and the young players reach their potential and we hope that we together can help talent obtain scholarships in the United States.

Go ahead and create your free profile on Esportsboard, that is available on both Android and Apple. The application allows the student to be recruited in the most transparent way possible. When downloading the application, the student has the option of filling in their academic and esports profile with the information that the coaches are looking for.

In the “Events” area of ​​the application, players and their families will be able to see all the events that both companies organize with their collaborators in the 25+ video games that universities in the United States offer scholarships. At each event, the university coaches will be present observing the competition and through the app, look at the academic and sports profile of the student to see if it is compatible with the university. If it is compatible, the coach contacts the student within the “Chat” of the app to arrange a meeting. At the meeting, the eSportian team will be present to translate and make sure that all the questions from the player and his family are answered by the coach.
​

Esportsboard allows you to compete in tournaments being watched by university coaches from the United States and most importantly, interact with them with the assistance of the eSportian team. If the player and the family want to move on after the meeting with the coach, eSportian holds a personalized informative meeting in advance, having filled out a pre-meeting form to know apart from the academic and sports profile available in the app, consider factors such as annual investment possible from the family, location, university size, university profile as well as the career that the student wishes to pursue among other factors.

Once the meeting is held, eSportian provides a work proposal detailing all the steps of the process, how they work with the player and his family. The work proposal considers the needs of the player, academic and sports profile to introduce the investment that the family will have to make for the student so that eSportian can guarantee offers in university Esports teams. The interaction with the coaches, the monthly events, the briefing and the job proposal is all without cost and commitment. Before investing money, the student already knows his possibilities in the universities in the United States and together with his family, he makes the decision to continue his educational project in the United States with the help of eSportian and Esports College & Career Pathways.
